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 has narrowed down the top pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We considered customer reviews, costs, pest control treatments offered, contracts, state availability, and more.
Here’s how Yukon’s top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Yukon, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. It has positive customer reviews and competent pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify issues and develop treatment plan. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Yukon, including bed bugs, mosquitoes, ants, crickets, flies, spiders, moths, wasps, cockroaches, and bees. Depending on your location, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control companies are identical when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and effectiveness. 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 choosing a pest control professional:
You should 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.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive consistent training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you select an exterminator from our list of Yukon'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” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have identified a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each one and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are a variety of pests in Yukon, ranging from harmless bothers to disease-carrying insects. For an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we examined the pests discussed in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
A pest control company removes unwanted insects or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also includes preventative measures that help stop those pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Yukon.
In a town like Yukon, where the cost of living is somewhat high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. How much pest control costs varies depending on several factors, such as what type of pests are troubling you 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.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
