Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest control companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
When ranking these pest control providers, we took into consideration factors including customer service, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Hilliard ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they exterminate much more than just that. Their other services include: rodents, ticks, spiders, ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and wildlife control including squirrels, skunks, opossums, raccoons, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix provides other services, such as attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
If you need quick pest control service in Hilliard, Orkin could be the company for you. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will come back for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which provide individual services.
It protects against 36 of the most common pests including spiders, rats, bed bugs, cockroaches, flies, mice, moths, and more. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, expertise, and skill. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Possessing these credentials indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you verify whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive continual training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Hilliard, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various kinds of pests in Hilliard, ranging from harmless nuisances to ones that can damage your home. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we examined the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to help stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Hilliard, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Hilliard homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
