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’s experts narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. With this experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. It has positive consumer reviews and trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Each contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience. The company provides professional pest control treatments all around the world. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control companies like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: bees, crickets, ants, spiders, mosquitoes, cockroaches, moths, flies, wasps, and bed bugs. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control businesses aren't all identical when it comes to credibility, expertise, and capability. 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 provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about continuing training for their employees.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. 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 ongoing regular training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you choose a provider from our list of Glenn Heights' best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” accreditations to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional treatments might be a better option for significant infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Glenn Heights is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. Our team studied around 10 million online discussions to uncover the pests that are the biggest headache in the area.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have locations all around the nation, and have been in business for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some cases warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Glenn Heights homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
