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 down the top pest control companies by considering factors like types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, customer satisfaction, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in the industry for about 100 years. The company provides effective pest control services that are safe for your family.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix provides services, such as moisture control, attic insulation, home disinfection services, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. It has positive customer reviews and skilled 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 draw up a suitable treatment plan. Orkin can arrange 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 line.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in Arlington, including crickets, bees, flies, bed bugs, moths, spiders, mosquitoes, ants, wasps, and cockroaches. Depending on your location, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control services vary in credibility, expertise, and competence. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, 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 reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. 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 ongoing regular training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you choose a provider from our list of the top pest control in Arlington, 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 providers that advertise “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more potent traditional treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top contending pest control companies, talk to each of them and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Arlington is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. Our experts reviewed around 10 million social media conversations to uncover the pests that create the most issues in the area.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Arlington are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected in the industry and cover 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 coming back.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Arlington homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out 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 house 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.
