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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they help with much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, spiders, cockroaches, and wildlife control including squirrels, skunks, opossums, raccoons, and more. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Pests Orkin helps with are rats, crickets, silverfish, wasps, bees, hornets, earwigs, fleas, spiders, flies, and more. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control providers like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: moths, ants, wasps, bed bugs, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, bees, crickets, and spiders. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control services vary in credibility, expertise, and competence. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Before booking an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of the top pest control in Madeira, you can rest easy knowing 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 humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, contact each one with these questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many kinds of pests end up finding their way into Madeira homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. For an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend obtaining quotes from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your property. Pest control also consists of preventative measures that stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Madeira, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Madeira homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
