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 providers by looking at factors like customer satisfaction, coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. The company provides professional pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix can help you with all types of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include spiders, rodents, ants, opossums, roaches, raccoons, and termites. Along with pest control, Terminix offers other services, such as home disinfection services, attic insulation, moisture control, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. Due to its large network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Pests Orkin handles includes silverfish, mice, hornets, carpenter ants, termites, ticks, spiders, fleas, bed bugs, wasps, and more. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both exterminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control providers are the identical in credibility, qualifications, and proficiency. Vetting businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
We suggest checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Broadlands, you can rest easy knowing 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 squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, contact each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Broadlands, there are several that residents may deal with. So you can have an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're 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 house once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they need to be handled by a trained exterminator to make sure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Broadlands 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 a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
