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 down the top pest control providers by comparing factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, coverage, industry experience, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Alcoa:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where they are.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Alcoa, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will assess your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and develop treatment plan. Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is also seasonal, which means your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: moths, mosquitoes, cockroaches, bees, flies, crickets, bed bugs, spiders, ants, and wasps. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control providers are identical when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with 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 indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
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 up-to-date pest control methods. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Alcoa, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for companies with “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
After selecting your top pest control companies, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Alcoa is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. We analyzed around 10 million online discussions to figure out which pests people in different places had the most problems with.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
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 coming back.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like how much the pest control will cost, what chemicals need to be used, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted bugs or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to stop those pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in Alcoa, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Alcoa homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
