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 it down to these pest control companies by comparing costs, pest control treatments offered, state availability, contracts, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how Lakewood’s top providers ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Lakewood, and if you aren’t satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. 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 potential problems and draw up treatment plan. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: spiders, ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, bees, moths, crickets, wasps, mosquitoes, and flies. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control companies vary in credibility, expertise, and skill. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
Choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Lakewood's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to choose the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
You should be aware of the pests you could see in Lakewood. We analyzed around 10 million social media posts to uncover the most common pests invading local homes.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Lakewood, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Lakewood homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 contacting several providers for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
