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 companies, we compared several factors including industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Huber Heights ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. It has excellent consumer reviews and competent pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your technician will come back for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and capability. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address 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.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
We advise checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Huber Heights' best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “green” accreditations if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional treatments might be a better option for significant infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, call each one with questions such as these:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Pests vary by location. In Huber Heights, there are several that residents may deal with. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we reviewed posts on social media and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
The key to finding the best pest control company for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Huber Heights homeowners wonder 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
