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've narrowed down the top pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We analyzed pest control treatments offered, costs, customer reviews, state availability, contracts, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Anderson ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 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 handles all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include roaches, spiders, raccoons, opossums, termites, rodents, and ants. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, with three additional treatments during the year.
If you need fast pest control service in Anderson, Orkin could be the right company for you. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators must undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After the first treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly 100 years’ worth of experience dealing with pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in Anderson, including wasps, bed bugs, mosquitoes, cockroaches, bees, spiders, flies, crickets, ants, and moths. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will return to your property every four months.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and capability. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal pest control company 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 received proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints with 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 select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Anderson, 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 companies with “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, have conversations with each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you might see as a resident of Anderson. Our team examined around 10 million social media conversations to identify the pests that cause the most trouble in the area.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have locations all around the nation, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Anderson homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Anderson, where pests can crop up more often because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
