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 comparing factors like industry experience, customer satisfaction, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
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. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to get rid of insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Due to its large network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop a suitable treatment plan. Orkin’s most common pest control plan is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control businesses vary in credibility, proficiency, and capability. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
You should choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any 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 Fort Mill'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” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, 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 more effective traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each one and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the right provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Fort Mill is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were frequently mentioned on social media platforms.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting quotes from several companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
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 cases 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.
Many Fort Mill homeowners are concerned 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Fort Mill, where pests can crop up more often because of the heat. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
