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 comparing factors like types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, customer satisfaction, coverage, and more.
Here’s how Bluffdale’s top companies 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. 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 NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Bluffdale, and if you’re not 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. It has great customer reviews and qualified exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin helps with are bed bugs, flies, mice, scorpions, wasps, carpenter ants, centipedes, rats, termites, spiders, and more. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also seasonal, meaning your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Bluffdale, including wasps, ants, crickets, bed bugs, flies, moths, bees, cockroaches, spiders, and mosquitoes. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control companies are the same in credibility, skill set, and competence. Vetting companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, 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). Having these credentials demonstrates that a technician has adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
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 ongoing regular training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Bluffdale'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” 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. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire a qualified provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Bluffdale, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were frequently mentioned on social media.
Our top picks for 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 regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your home. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
In a town like Bluffdale, where the cost of living is very high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, including what kind of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
