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 providers by analyzing contracts, state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, and more.
This is how the top companies in Jefferson City ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. It has positive customer reviews and well-trained pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including spiders, cockroaches, ants, and silverfish. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your pest control specialist will come back for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control companies like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: bees, mosquitoes, moths, cockroaches, wasps, crickets, spiders, ants, bed bugs, and flies. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control businesses aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and effectiveness. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Spend time perusing online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you determine for yourself 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 continual training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Jefferson City, 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 offering “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat for free if your home still has pests after the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest management services, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Different pests appear in different locations. In Jefferson City, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by examining which pests were frequently mentioned on social media platforms.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do thorough research. We recommend getting estimates from several companies and reading reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
Many Jefferson City homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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 getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
