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 narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing contracts, pest control treatments offered, costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. The company provides effective pest control services that are safe for your family.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix has other services, including home disinfection services, attic insulation, moisture control, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin deals with many common pests, such as cockroaches, silverfish, spiders, and ants. Orkin’s general pest control plan is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly 100 years’ worth of experience dealing with pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control companies like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Lincoln City, including spiders, bees, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, flies, moths, crickets, and wasps. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are identical when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When choosing 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). Obtaining these credentials shows that a technician has adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before booking 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 complaints with 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 choose a professional from our list of Lincoln City's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that 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” certifications. 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 moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. 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 recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests following the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
After picking your top exterminators, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to choose the right provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
There are various kinds of pests in Lincoln City, ranging from harmless annoyances to ones that can damage your home. Our team studied around 10 million online discussions to pinpoint the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do thorough research. We recommend obtaining estimates from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company is the right one for you.
Many Lincoln City 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
