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:
We narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing contracts, costs, state availability, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Lansdale, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, with three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. It has excellent consumer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience. The company provides expert pest control solutions for homeowners and business owners. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control branches like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: crickets, moths, ants, flies, wasps, bees, mosquitoes, bed bugs, spiders, and cockroaches. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will treat your property as often as your contract states.
Not all pest control companies are equal when it comes to reputation, expertise, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, 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). Possessing these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
We suggest looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose a company from our list of Lansdale'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 providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. 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.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each of them and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are a variety of pests in Lansdale, ranging from harmless nuisances to ones that can damage your home. For 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 pest control companies in Lansdale are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and cover 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. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they have to be handled by a trained professional to ensure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Many Lansdale homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per 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 pest control providers for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
