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've narrowed down the top pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We analyzed pest control treatments offered, contracts, customer reviews, state availability, costs, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Lima:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in the industry for almost 100 years. The company provides cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they exterminate much more than that. Their other services include: ticks, mosquitoes, ants, spiders, cockroaches, rodents, and wildlife control such as raccoons, opossums, squirrels, skunks, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. It has positive customer reviews and skilled exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up treatment plan. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It deals with 36 of the most common pests such as flies, cockroaches, mice, bed bugs, spiders, moths, rats, and more. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control businesses are equal when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
You should look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in Lima, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have identified your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask these questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to pick a qualified provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are various kinds of pests in Lima, ranging from harmless bothers to disease-carrying insects. We studied around 10 million social media posts to uncover the most common pests infesting local homes.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, 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. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Lima homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
