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 identified the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
This is how the top companies in Florence ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for almost 100 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Florence, and if you aren’t completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
If you need quick pest control service in Florence, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including cockroaches, ants, spiders, and silverfish. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your pest control specialist will come back for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Florence, including flies, bees, spiders, wasps, cockroaches, bed bugs, mosquitoes, ants, moths, and crickets. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control companies are the identical in reputation, skill set, and effectiveness. Evaluating companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Possessing 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.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse 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 any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of Florence'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 providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. 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 more potent chemical treatments. 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 return and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
You should know which pests you might come across as a resident of Florence. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we analyzed the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Florence are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to 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, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they need to be handled by a trained professional to make sure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
Many Florence 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 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like 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 when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
