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 providers ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. Terminix has received numerous 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 is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes, rodents, spiders, ticks, and wildlife control including raccoons, squirrels, skunks, opossums, and more. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Pests Orkin handles are earwigs, hornets, ticks, bed bugs, bees, silverfish, centipedes, flies, carpenter ants, spiders, and more. 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 is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and nearly a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both exterminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control services are equal when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
It's best to choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about regular education updates for their employees.
We advise looking at customer reviews prior to 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 best pest control practices. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in Yukon, you can rest easy knowing 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 trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose a qualified provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Yukon is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. We analyzed around 10 million social media posts to identify which pests were causing the most trouble for residents.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have locations nationwide, 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 house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. That being said, they have to be handled by a trained professional to ensure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
In a town like Yukon, where the cost of living is marginally high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. How much pest control costs 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 typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek 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 colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
