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 has narrowed down the best pest control companies so you can find the right provider for you. We analyzed contracts, state availability, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, costs, and more.
Here’s how Clinton’s top companies ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. It utilizes the latest innovations in pest control to eliminate pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: ticks, rodents, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants, spiders, and wildlife control such as raccoons, squirrels, skunks, opossums, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will assess your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Due to its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin handles many common pests, such as cockroaches, silverfish, spiders, and ants. After your first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the world and nearly a century of experience in the industry. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Clinton, including ants, wasps, crickets, moths, bed bugs, bees, mosquitoes, spiders, flies, and cockroaches. Depending on the city, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control companies aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
We suggest looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose a company from our list of Clinton's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” certifications to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that traditional treatments might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Clinton is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we analyzed the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to contact multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted insects or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Clinton, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Clinton homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
