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 providers by comparing costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to rid your property of pests no matter where you find them.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Providence Village, and if you aren’t completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers other services, such as attic insulation, home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, and moisture control.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has great customer reviews and well-trained pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin handles are cockroaches, rats, scorpions, spiders, fleas, carpenter ants, mice, crickets, moths, ticks, and more. Orkin’s general pest control service plan is also seasonal, so your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to 100 years’ worth of experience handling pests. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator, which provide individual services.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Providence Village, including wasps, spiders, bees, crickets, moths, flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants, and bed bugs. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control services aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. It’s important to research services 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 has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about regular training updates.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. 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 company from our list of Providence Village's best pest control, 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 companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. 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. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest control companies, contact each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire the right provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Providence Village, there are several that residents have to deal with. For an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed 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 well-respected in the industry and cover 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 animals from coming inside your house.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
In a town like Providence Village, where the cost of living is remarkably high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs depends on several factors, such as what kind of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
