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 identified the top pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. It has excellent consumer reviews and professional exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin deals with are bed bugs, termites, spiders, wasps, bees, crickets, mice, cockroaches, fleas, ticks, and more. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly a century’s worth of experience handling pests. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Heath, including ants, cockroaches, bees, spiders, bed bugs, wasps, mosquitoes, moths, flies, and crickets. Depending on your location, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control businesses are identical when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about regular education updates for their employees.
We advise reading customer reviews before 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 ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a company from our list of Heath's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest management companies, contact each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
There are various kinds of pests in Heath, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. To help you prepare for the most problematic pests, we reviewed posts on social media and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Heath are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you should stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Heath homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 contacting several companies for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
