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 identified the top pest control providers by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how Valley’s top providers ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix helps with all kinds of pests in Valley, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its exterminators have to 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 offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and develop a suitable treatment plan. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your pest control specialist will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: bed bugs, wasps, crickets, spiders, ants, mosquitoes, bees, flies, moths, and cockroaches. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control providers are the same in credibility, background, and capability. Evaluating providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
We advise looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites can tell you 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 company from our list of Valley'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 companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest control providers, contact each one with these questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
You should know which pests you're bound to come across while living in Valley. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we reviewed the pests discussed in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted insects or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also consists of preventative measures that stop those pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in Valley, but usually during the warm summers.
In a town like Valley, where the cost of living is high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control varies based on several factors, such as what kind of pests are infesting your home 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.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
