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 took into consideration several factors including industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, and more.
This is how the top companies in Turtlecreek ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in the industry for almost 100 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix exterminates all types of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, roaches, termites, spiders, opossums, raccoons, and rodents. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three additional treatments during the year.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is also seasonal, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience. The company provides innovative pest control treatments all around the world. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control companies like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: crickets, spiders, flies, cockroaches, wasps, ants, mosquitoes, moths, bees, and bed bugs. 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.
Search for companies with “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional solutions might be a better option for major infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
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 ones that can damage your home. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were often mentioned on social media.
Our top picks for the best 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 having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
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 multiple companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company best fits your needs.
In a town like Turtlecreek, where the cost of living is relatively high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. The cost of pest control varies based on several factors, including what kind of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
