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’s experts identified the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Easttown ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for over 90 years. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, ants, ticks, cockroaches, rodents, spiders, and wildlife control including raccoons, squirrels, opossums, skunks, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists must undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin deals with are yellow jackets, flies, bed bugs, fleas, silverfish, crickets, carpenter ants, mice, bees, spiders, and more. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control companies like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Easttown, including mosquitoes, bed bugs, spiders, ants, flies, cockroaches, moths, bees, crickets, and wasps. Depending on the city, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control businesses vary in reputation, proficiency, and skill. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Easttown, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “green” accreditations to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional treatments might be a better option for significant infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top exterminators, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose the best provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
You should know which pests you could come across as a resident of Easttown. We studied around 10 million social media posts to determine which pests people in different areas had problems with the most.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for decades.
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.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your home. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to get rid of the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Easttown homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually 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 companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home 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.
