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 companies by looking at factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, industry experience, coverage, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Mount Pleasant, and if you’re not completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Its exterminators undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin handles many common pests, including cockroaches, spiders, ants, and silverfish. Once the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: spiders, flies, bees, moths, wasps, bed bugs, ants, cockroaches, crickets, and mosquitoes. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control providers are identical when it comes to credibility, expertise, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a professional from our list of Mount Pleasant'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 more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest management services, contact each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
A variety of pests like to find their way into Mount Pleasant residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can cause anxiety. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we studied the pests mentioned in around 10 million social media posts.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service locations all around the country, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals 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 looking at reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
In a town like Mount Pleasant, where the cost of living is below average compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. How much pest control costs depends on several factors, including what kind of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
