Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, contracts, pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how Milton’s top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. It uses the latest pest control techniques to exterminate pests wherever they are.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they help with much more than that. Their other services include: rodents, ants, mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, cockroaches, and wildlife control such as squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin deals with includes silverfish, mice, scorpions, termites, flies, fleas, bed bugs, cockroaches, centipedes, earwigs, and more. Orkin’s most common pest control service is also seasonal, meaning your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: moths, bed bugs, spiders, mosquitoes, cockroaches, crickets, flies, ants, wasps, and bees. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, knowledge, and skill. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, 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 continuing education opportunities.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Milton'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 natural pest control methods, look for companies with “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose the best provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.

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.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Milton homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger in the summer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
