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've narrowed down the top pest control companies to help you find the right provider for you. We analyzed pest control treatments offered, costs, customer reviews, contracts, state availability, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its pest control specialists need to undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s typical pest control plan is also quarterly, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Lewistown, including ants, crickets, cockroaches, moths, spiders, flies, mosquitoes, bed bugs, bees, and wasps. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control providers are the equal in credibility, skill set, and proficiency. Evaluating companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive consistent training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Lewistown, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals 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 after the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest control providers, contact each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in Lewistown, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were frequently posted about 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 regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — or are wondering how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
In a town like Lewistown, where the cost of living is low compared to other cities, the cost of pest control could still be a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, including what type of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
