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 companies, we compared several factors such as coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, and more.
Here’s how Lititz’s top providers ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in the industry for about 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the 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. It has excellent customer reviews and competent exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify potential problems and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. After the initial treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience exterminating pests. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide individual services.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: bees, spiders, wasps, cockroaches, flies, moths, bed bugs, mosquitoes, crickets, and ants. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will return to your property every four months.
Pest control companies vary in credibility, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of Lititz'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 humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that traditional methods might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually 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 may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top contending pest control companies, talk to each of them and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select the right provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are various kinds of pests in Lititz, ranging from harmless nuisances to ones that can damage your home. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we analyzed the pests mentioned in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service locations all around the country, and have been in the industry for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Lititz 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
