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:
We narrowed down the top pest control providers by looking at factors like coverage, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Newport East:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix deals with all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include termites, raccoons, ants, rodents, opossums, spiders, and roaches. Along with pest control, Terminix provides other services, such as mechanical exclusion, attic insulation, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Pests Orkin deals with are cockroaches, carpenter ants, earwigs, ticks, centipedes, termites, moths, wasps, spiders, silverfish, and more. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience dealing with pests. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will service your property every quarter.
Pest control businesses vary in credibility, expertise, and skill. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling 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.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Newport East's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that more potent solutions might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with these questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to pick the right provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
A variety of pests like to find their way into Newport East residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We analyzed around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the most common pests plaguing local homes.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Newport East are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can get rid 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, especially if you have young children.
Many Newport East homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
