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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, contracts, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Due to its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Pests Orkin helps with includes termites, bed bugs, moths, cockroaches, rats, silverfish, yellow jackets, mice, carpenter ants, scorpions, and more. Each contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: wasps, crickets, bees, spiders, bed bugs, moths, ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and flies. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control businesses are identical when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
Choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal pest management provider 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 demonstrate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself 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 select a professional from our list of Sanatoga's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, have conversations with each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Sanatoga is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. Our team studied around 10 million online discussions to determine the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do diligent research. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some cases warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Sanatoga homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
