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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing contracts, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how Solon’s top providers ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of 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, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Solon, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
If you need immediate pest control service in Solon, Orkin might be the company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has excellent customer reviews and qualified pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Once the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost a century’s worth of experience dealing with pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control businesses vary in reputation, proficiency, and capability. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. Solid credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Look 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 consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Solon's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for companies with “green” certifications. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more potent traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
After picking your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are a variety of pests in Solon, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we reviewed posts on social media and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service locations all around the country, and have been in business for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
Many Solon homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want 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.
