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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control providers by considering factors like customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how Middletown’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in the industry for almost 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they handle much more than that. Their other services include: rodents, spiders, cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, ticks, and wildlife control including skunks, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and develop a suitable treatment plan. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also quarterly, which means your home will be treated several times during the year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly a century’s worth of experience handling pests. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests including mice, spiders, moths, rats, flies, cockroaches, bed bugs, and more. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control businesses vary in credibility, knowledge, and capability. 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 professional:
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 provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of Middletown's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that 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” certifications. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. 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.
Reliable pest control companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Different pests appear in different places. In Middletown, there are several that residents may deal with. We came up with a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were often posted about on social media.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting estimates from several companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
Many Middletown homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get 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 come spray your house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
