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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we considered factors including customer service, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they help with much more than that. Their other services include: spiders, mosquitoes, cockroaches, ticks, rodents, ants, and wildlife control such as opossums, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. It has great consumer reviews and competent exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin deals with includes yellow jackets, cockroaches, flies, hornets, moths, earwigs, crickets, wasps, bed bugs, carpenter ants, and more. Once the first treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: cockroaches, ants, spiders, bees, crickets, bed bugs, wasps, mosquitoes, flies, and moths. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control businesses are equal when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control provider:
Choose a pest control company that can effectively address 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 groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of the top pest control in Cayce, you can rest easy knowing 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 humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional treatments might be a better option for significant infestations. 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 companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various types of pests in Cayce, ranging from harmless annoyances to ones that can damage your home. We came up with a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were frequently mentioned on social media sites.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some situations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Pest control involves removing unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to get rid of the pests and stop them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Cayce 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 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
