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 to help you find the best provider for you. We considered customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, costs, contracts, state availability, and more.
Here’s how Anna’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will assess your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify potential problems and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control providers aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, expertise, and effectiveness. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific situation. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
We highly recommend reading customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Anna'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 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 moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top pest control companies, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Anna is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. Our experts studied around 10 million social media posts to pinpoint the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
The best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they must be handled by a trained professional to make sure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
Many Anna homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
