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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we considered several factors like customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. With this experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Brighton, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators need to undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including ants, silverfish, spiders, and cockroaches. Each contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will come back for another visit.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It protects against 36 of the most common pests including moths, flies, mice, rats, spiders, bed bugs, cockroaches, and more. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will service your property every quarter.
Not all pest control companies are the equal in reputation, experience, and proficiency. Researching services helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Brighton'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 companies with “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more potent traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, contact each one with these questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to pick the best provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many types of pests find their way into Brighton homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. To help you identify the most commonly seen pests, we studied posts on social media and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Brighton are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some cases warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Brighton homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per 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 pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get 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 house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
