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 Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing factors like customer satisfaction, coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. 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 Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in North Fayette, and if you aren’t 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will come back for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil handles the common pests in North Fayette, including ants, cockroaches, crickets, flies, spiders, wasps, moths, bees, bed bugs, and mosquitoes. Rentokil’s services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control companies are equal when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors 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 explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. Solid credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
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 choose a provider from our list of the top pest control in North Fayette, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, contact each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you could come across in North Fayette. We examined around 10 million social media posts to figure out which pests people in different places had the most problems with.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
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 — and how long you should stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire an exterminator depends on the situation. You’ll want to consider factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. In addition, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about your young children or pets.
Many North Fayette homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per 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 a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
