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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing contracts, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix takes care of all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include ants, raccoons, spiders, roaches, termites, opossums, and rodents. Along with pest control, Terminix provides services, including attic insulation, home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, and moisture control.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has excellent customer reviews and qualified pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin deals with are earwigs, rats, bees, flies, yellow jackets, termites, silverfish, wasps, carpenter ants, fleas, and more. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control providers like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It deals with 36 of the most common pests such as rats, mice, spiders, moths, flies, bed bugs, cockroaches, and more. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will service your property every four months.
Not all pest control providers are the equal in reputation, background, and capability. Researching services helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
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 clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
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), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
We suggest looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose a provider from our list of Turtlecreek'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 providers that advertise “green” certifications. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable 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.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
There are a variety of pests in Turtlecreek, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. We came up with a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were often posted about on social media.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service locations all around the country, and have been in the industry for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
The key to finding the best pest control company for you is to get in touch with several companies and get estimates from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Turtlecreek homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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 getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get 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 nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
