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 several factors like industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to rid your property of pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix takes care of all kinds of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include opossums, ants, raccoons, termites, spiders, rodents, and roaches. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, with three additional treatments during the year.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Each contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides professional pest control solutions all around the world. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Tiffin, including mosquitoes, flies, ants, crickets, cockroaches, moths, bees, spiders, wasps, and bed bugs. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will service your property every four months.
Not all pest control providers are equal when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Tiffin's 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 services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, 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 that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest management companies, contact each one with these questions:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Tiffin is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. To help you identify the most commonly seen pests, we reviewed online discussions and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Tiffin are Orkin and Terminix. 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 other wildlife from coming back.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Tiffin homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
