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 narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Lehi:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. The company offers state-of-the-art pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Lehi, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin handles many common pests, including cockroaches, silverfish, spiders, and ants. After the initial treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly a century’s worth of experience getting rid of pests. The brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It protects against 36 of the most common pests including spiders, rats, bed bugs, cockroaches, mice, moths, flies, and more. Depending on where you live, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control businesses vary in credibility, understanding, and capability. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
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. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Lehi, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Different pests show up in different places. In Lehi, there are several that residents have to deal with. To give you an idea of the most common pests in the city, we studied the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on social media.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, the size of the infestation, and how much the pest control will cost. Additionally, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Lehi homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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 providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want 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.
