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 Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, customer satisfaction, coverage, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to rid your property of insects and unwanted wildlife wherever they are.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: cockroaches, mosquitoes, spiders, rodents, ticks, ants, and wildlife control including raccoons, squirrels, skunks, opossums, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix has other services, such as attic insulation, moisture control, home disinfection services, and mechanical exclusion.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has excellent customer reviews and competent exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. After your initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to 100 years’ worth of experience handling pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and competence. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting 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 indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you verify 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 recent pest control methods. When you select a company from our list of Canyon'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 more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, contact each one with these questions:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to pick the right provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Canyon is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were often posted about on social media platforms.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Canyon are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
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 other wildlife from coming inside your home.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue wasp, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some situations warrant bringing in 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.
A pest control company removes unwanted bugs or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to help stop said pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Canyon.
Many Canyon homeowners wonder 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
