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 companies, we took into consideration factors such as customer service, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for almost 100 years. It utilizes the latest technology in pest control to get rid of insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they help with much more than that. Their other services include: spiders, cockroaches, rodents, ants, ticks, mosquitoes, and wildlife control such as opossums, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides services, such as attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
If you need quick pest control service in West Carrollton, Orkin could be the right company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin handles are earwigs, termites, silverfish, crickets, yellow jackets, cockroaches, hornets, moths, mice, carpenter ants, and more. 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.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: spiders, bees, cockroaches, crickets, moths, wasps, bed bugs, flies, ants, and mosquitoes. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will service your property every quarter.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to reputation, expertise, and competence. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors 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 rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
We highly recommend reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a professional from our list of West Carrollton'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 offering “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more potent traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean 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 include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top exterminators, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Which pests you may see depends on where you live. In West Carrollton, there are several that residents may deal with. Our team reviewed around 10 million social media posts to determine the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in West Carrollton are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
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 returning.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company is the right one for you.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, what chemicals need to be used, and the size of the infestation. In addition, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about your young children or pets.
Many West Carrollton 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
