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 has narrowed down the best pest control companies to help you find the right provider for you. We considered contracts, customer reviews, state availability, pest control treatments offered, costs, and more.
Here’s how Draper’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. It utilizes the latest innovations in pest control to get rid of insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: spiders, cockroaches, ticks, rodents, ants, mosquitoes, and wildlife control including skunks, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify potential problems and develop treatment plan. After the initial treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control companies like J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on your location, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control companies are equal when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
We suggest checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Draper, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “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. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest management companies, contact each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire a qualified provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Draper is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we examined the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on social media.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for several decades.
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.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some cases warrant calling the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Draper homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
