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 providers, we compared factors including coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, and more.
Here’s how Monfort Heights’s top providers ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they exterminate much more than just that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, ants, spiders, cockroaches, and wildlife control including raccoons, skunks, opossums, squirrels, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
If you need immediate pest control service in Monfort Heights, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop an appropriate treatment plan. After the initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator, which provide tailored services.
It helps with 36 of the most common pests such as mice, cockroaches, moths, bed bugs, flies, rats, spiders, and more. Depending on where you live, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control services are the same in reputation, background, and effectiveness. Vetting businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator 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 demonstrate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews 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 continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of Monfort Heights' 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” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
A variety of pests find their way into Monfort Heights homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were often posted about on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to contact multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Monfort Heights 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 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
