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 considered factors including coverage, industry experience, customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Massillon’s top providers 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. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they help with much more than just that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, spiders, rodents, ants, cockroaches, ticks, and wildlife control such as squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
If you need quick pest control service in Massillon, Orkin could be the company for you. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin deals with are termites, crickets, ticks, silverfish, mice, hornets, yellow jackets, rats, carpenter ants, fleas, and more. Orkin’s general pest control service plan is also quarterly, meaning your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It protects against 36 of the most common pests including flies, mice, bed bugs, cockroaches, moths, spiders, rats, and more. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control companies are identical when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors 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 thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
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 show that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Massillon, 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 companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Different pests show up in different places. In Massillon, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were often posted about on social media platforms.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in business for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
A pest control company removes unwanted bugs or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also includes preventative measures that stop those pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in Massillon, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Massillon homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per 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 pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come 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 any other season and see effective results.
