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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. With the amount of experience the company has, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix provides other services, including mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, attic insulation, and moisture control.
If you need quick pest control service in West Manchester, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators have to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop an appropriate treatment plan. After the initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control branches like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in West Manchester, including bed bugs, wasps, moths, flies, spiders, cockroaches, bees, ants, mosquitoes, and crickets. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control businesses aren't all identical when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and capability. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about continuing training for their employees.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of West Manchester's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need stronger traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, 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 warranties mean that a company will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each one and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Different pests appear in different places. In West Manchester, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. To help you identify the most common pests, we reviewed online discussions and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in business for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Pest control involves removing unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many West Manchester homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before nest and 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.
