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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner identified the top pest control providers by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. In addition to pest control, Terminix has services, like home disinfection services, attic insulation, moisture control, and mechanical exclusion.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. It has positive customer reviews and qualified exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. After your first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control companies like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It helps with 36 of the most common pests such as mice, flies, spiders, moths, rats, cockroaches, bed bugs, and more. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control businesses are equal when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
Choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Read 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 consistent training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in Palestine, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top contending pest control companies, talk to each one and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select the right provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Different pests show up in different locations. In Palestine, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we examined the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on social media.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly 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. That being said, they need to 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 period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Pest control involves removing unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Palestine homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually 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 providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before nest and 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.
