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:
Today's Homeowner’s experts narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for almost 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Youngstown, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. And, because of its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify issues and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also quarterly, meaning your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
It deals with 36 of the most common pests including flies, cockroaches, spiders, rats, bed bugs, moths, mice, and more. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will service your property every quarter.
Pest control companies aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, expertise, and effectiveness. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, 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). Possessing these credentials shows that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before scheduling an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a provider from our list of Youngstown'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” accreditations to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals 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 (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Many kinds of pests like to find their way into Youngstown residences. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. So you can have an idea of the most common pests in the city, we examined the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business 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. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Youngstown homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per 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 pest control companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
