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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing costs, contracts, pest control treatments offered, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top companies in Powdersville ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. With the amount of experience the company has, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix exterminates all types of pest problems for homeowners and business owners. These include roaches, rodents, termites, raccoons, spiders, ants, and opossums. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers services, such as home disinfection services, moisture control, mechanical exclusion, and attic insulation.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists must undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin deals with many common pests, such as silverfish, cockroaches, ants, and spiders. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides professional pest control solutions for homeowners and business owners. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control services are the same in reputation, background, and proficiency. Researching businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
We suggest reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a professional from our list of Powdersville's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat for free if your home still has pests after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various kinds of pests in Powdersville, ranging from harmless annoyances to ones that can damage your home. To give you an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we examined the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies 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 routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. In addition, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about your young children.
Many Powdersville 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 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
