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:
We narrowed down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like coverage, industry experience, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top companies in South Salt Lake ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in business for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Its pest control specialists complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Pests Orkin handles includes earwigs, hornets, silverfish, flies, bees, cockroaches, rats, spiders, moths, scorpions, and more. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property every four months.
Not all pest control businesses are the identical in credibility, qualifications, and capability. Evaluating providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. These credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of South Salt Lake'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 trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home following the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top-rated pest management providers, talk to each one and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various kinds of pests in South Salt Lake, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. We studied around 10 million posts on social media to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on the 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. In addition, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
A pest control company removes unwanted insects or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to stop those pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in South Salt Lake, but usually during the warm summers.
Many South Salt Lake 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 a 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 seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house 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 in other seasons and see effective results.
