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 narrowed it down to these pest control providers by comparing pest control treatments offered, contracts, customer reviews, state availability, costs, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in West Valley City:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems 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 NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix offers other services, including mechanical exclusion, moisture control, home disinfection services, and attic insulation.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Its exterminators must undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin handles includes hornets, centipedes, earwigs, silverfish, spiders, bed bugs, bees, carpenter ants, ticks, mice, and more. After the initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: ants, spiders, bed bugs, cockroaches, crickets, flies, moths, mosquitoes, wasps, and bees. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control services vary in credibility, understanding, and effectiveness. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
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 describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. 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 consistent training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you select an exterminator from our list of West Valley City's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that 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 other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Keep 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest management companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
A variety of pests can find their way into West Valley City homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were frequently posted about on social media.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some cases warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted bugs like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many West Valley City homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
