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 down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, industry experience, coverage, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, cockroaches, ticks, mosquitoes, spiders, rodents, and wildlife control including skunks, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has positive customer reviews and competent exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin handles many common pests, including silverfish, spiders, ants, and cockroaches. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your pest control specialist will come back for another visit.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in North Royalton, including bees, spiders, cockroaches, bed bugs, mosquitoes, crickets, wasps, flies, ants, and moths. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control businesses aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and capability. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
You should choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you determine for yourself whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive ongoing regular training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a provider from our list of North Royalton's best pest control, 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 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; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, call each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the right provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you could come across as a resident of North Royalton. To help you prepare for the most commonly seen pests, we examined social media conversations and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies in North Royalton are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do diligent research. We recommend obtaining quotes from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company best suits your needs.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many North Royalton 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 pest control companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
