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’s experts narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how Sharon’s top providers ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix exterminates all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include rodents, roaches, termites, spiders, raccoons, opossums, and ants. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three additional treatments during the year.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its exterminators undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. 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 help.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience dealing with pests. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control companies aren't all equal when it comes to reputation, expertise, and effectiveness. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific issue. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
It's best to choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal exterminator 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 finished proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about continuing training for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look for complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a provider from our list of Sharon's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing 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” certified 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 more potent chemical treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to 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.
After choosing your top pest management services, call each one with questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the right provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
It's important to know which pests you could encounter as a resident of Sharon. To help you prepare for the most problematic pests, we reviewed online discussions and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Sharon 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 home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed 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 multiple companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some cases warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company, especially if you have young children.
Many Sharon homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest 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 home 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.
