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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Colonial Park ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to rid your home of pests no matter where they are.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, ticks, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rodents, spiders, and wildlife control such as squirrels, opossums, skunks, raccoons, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its exterminators have to complete 160 hours of training. And, because of its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Colonial Park, including cockroaches, wasps, mosquitoes, bees, bed bugs, spiders, ants, crickets, flies, and moths. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will service your property every quarter.
Not all pest control providers are the identical in reputation, skill set, and competence. Vetting companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking 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 continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose a company from our list of Colonial Park's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” certifications to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional methods might be a better option for major infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Colonial Park is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. So you can have an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we examined the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on social media.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional 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.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted insects or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also includes preventative measures that help stop said pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in Colonial Park, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Colonial Park homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually 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 getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
