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 comparing customer reviews, costs, contracts, state availability, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in the industry for nearly 100 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix can help you with all kinds of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, spiders, opossums, raccoons, rodents, termites, and roaches. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
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. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop a suitable treatment plan. After your first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the world and nearly a century of experience in the industry. The brand owns the North American pest control companies Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: mosquitoes, spiders, flies, ants, bees, moths, bed bugs, wasps, crickets, and cockroaches. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and competence. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
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). Having 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.
We suggest looking at customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a provider from our list of Bristol's best pest control, 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” certifications. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more potent traditional solutions. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies 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 handled. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top exterminators, contact each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the most qualified provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Bristol is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were often posted about on social media sites.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but need 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 — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Bristol 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
