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 identified the top pest control providers by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in South Ogden ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to rid your home of insects and unwanted wildlife wherever they are.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, rodents, ants, cockroaches, spiders, ticks, and wildlife control such as skunks, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin deals with are spiders, scorpions, rats, earwigs, mice, moths, bed bugs, carpenter ants, fleas, silverfish, and more. Once 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 assist.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: flies, mosquitoes, moths, ants, wasps, bees, spiders, crickets, bed bugs, and cockroaches. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control services vary in reputation, proficiency, and competence. It's important to research services to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in South Ogden, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must 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 you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Many types of pests end up finding their way into South Ogden residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were frequently mentioned on social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many South Ogden homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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 pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
