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 contracts, pest control treatments offered, costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how Union’s top companies ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix provides other services, including moisture control, mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, and attic insulation.
If you need immediate pest control service in Union, Orkin could be the right company for you. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control providers like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Union, including mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies, bees, bed bugs, spiders, moths, wasps, crickets, and ants. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control companies are the same when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. 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 hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, 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 reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm 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 consistent training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Union, 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 companies 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 methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top exterminators, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
A variety of pests end up finding their way into Union residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. So you can have an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed the pests discussed in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service 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. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have 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 children and pets — and how long you have 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.
Many Union 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
