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:
We narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing factors like coverage, industry experience, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. With this breadth of experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Hubbard, and if you aren’t 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin helps with includes carpenter ants, yellow jackets, termites, crickets, fleas, moths, hornets, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, and more. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost a century’s worth of experience protecting residents from pests. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Hubbard, including spiders, moths, wasps, flies, bees, crickets, cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, and mosquitoes. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control providers are equal when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control company, 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). Having these credentials shows that the technicians have adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a provider from our list of Hubbard's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more effective traditional treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest management companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you might see in Hubbard. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we reviewed various social media sites and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to contact several companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
In a town like Hubbard, where the cost of living is remarkably low compared to other cities, the cost of pest control could still be a concern. How much pest control costs varies depending on several factors, including what kind of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
