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:
We've narrowed down the best pest control experts to help you find the right provider for you. We assessed costs, contracts, state availability, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for over 90 years. 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’s specialty is termites, but they exterminate much more than just that. Their other services include: ticks, ants, mosquitoes, rodents, cockroaches, spiders, and wildlife control such as opossums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. It has great customer reviews and qualified exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin handles many common pests, such as spiders, ants, cockroaches, and silverfish. Orkin’s most common pest control plan is also seasonal, so your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control businesses are identical when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about regular education updates for their employees.
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 ongoing regular training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Coos Bay's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top exterminators, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Coos Bay is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. We studied around 10 million social media conversations to uncover the most common pests invading local homes.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to consider factors like the size of the infestation, how much the pest control will cost, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about your young children.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your home. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Coos Bay homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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 providers for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly 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 issue is resolved.
