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 it down to these pest control companies by analyzing contracts, state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. The company provides professional pest control services that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: ticks, mosquitoes, spiders, rodents, cockroaches, ants, and wildlife control including squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, followed by three additional treatments over the course of a year.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. It has great consumer reviews and professional exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop treatment plan. After the initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil has been helping homeowners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control providers like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Taylors, including moths, flies, bed bugs, ants, mosquitoes, spiders, crickets, cockroaches, bees, and wasps. Rentokil’s services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control companies aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, understanding, and competence. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
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 have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials shows that the technicians have adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also look for complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Taylors, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to select the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
There are a variety of pests in Taylors, ranging from harmless annoyances to ones that can damage your home. To help you prepare for the most problematic pests, we examined social media conversations and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
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. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to contact multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
In a town like Taylors, where the cost of living is high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs depends on several factors, including what type of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
