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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing state availability, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, costs, contracts, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Huron ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. The company provides state-of-the-art pest control services that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix deals with all types of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include roaches, spiders, termites, rodents, ants, raccoons, and opossums. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists need to complete 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Pests Orkin helps with are crickets, yellow jackets, silverfish, termites, hornets, ticks, carpenter ants, rats, bed bugs, bees, and more. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: bees, wasps, mosquitoes, spiders, ants, bed bugs, moths, cockroaches, crickets, and flies. Depending on where you live, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, knowledge, and skill. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
You should look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, 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). Having these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
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 any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Huron's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for companies with “green” certifications. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional solutions. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, talk to each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
You should be aware of the pests you could come across in Huron. We reviewed around 10 million social media posts to determine which pests people in different areas had the most problems with.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service locations all around the country, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — and how long you should 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.
A pest control company removes unwanted insects or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to help stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Huron, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Huron homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
