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 down the top pest control providers by looking at factors like customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for about 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will assess your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Due to its large network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin deals with many common pests, such as silverfish, ants, spiders, and cockroaches. Each contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your pest control specialist will come back for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will treat your property every four months.
Pest control businesses aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, expertise, and effectiveness. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific issue. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that can address 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.
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 required training hours and continuing education.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in New Garden, 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 companies with “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top exterminators, call each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you might see as a resident of New Garden. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we reviewed the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies in New Garden are Orkin and Terminix. 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 house once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. However, 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 amount of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted bugs or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also includes preventative measures that stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in New Garden, but usually during the warm summers.
Many New Garden homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
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 come spray your home is in the spring before 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 any other season and see effective results.
