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 providers, we considered factors including customer service, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in East Lampeter:
Terminix ranks as one of 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. The company offers cutting-edge pest control services that are safe for your family.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: ticks, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, rodents, ants, and wildlife control such as squirrels, opossums, skunks, raccoons, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including ants, silverfish, cockroaches, and spiders. After your initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: cockroaches, ants, flies, wasps, spiders, mosquitoes, crickets, moths, bed bugs, and bees. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about regular training updates.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of East Lampeter's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing 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” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
After picking your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to pick the best provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are a variety of pests in East Lampeter, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we reviewed online discussions and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-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 house once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to consider factors like the size of the infestation, what chemicals need to be used, and how much the pest control will cost. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about your young children or pets.
Many East Lampeter homeowners are concerned 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
