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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, contracts, and more.
Here’s how Hilton Head Island’s top companies ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix helps with all kinds of pests in Hilton Head Island, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists have to complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin can protect your home from many common pests, including cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and spiders. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your pest control specialist will come back for another visit.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly 100 years’ worth of experience exterminating pests. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: ants, crickets, spiders, wasps, cockroaches, bees, mosquitoes, moths, flies, and bed bugs. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will return to your property every four months.
Not all pest control companies are the same when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. 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 choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive ongoing regular training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Hilton Head Island's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests following the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the most qualified provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
There are a variety of pests in Hilton Head Island, ranging from harmless bothers to disease-carrying insects. To give you an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we analyzed the pests mentioned in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Hilton Head Island are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Pest control involves removing unwanted bugs like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will do an inspection. Then they will use various methods to remove the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Hilton Head Island homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
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 need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
