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:
When ranking these pest control providers, we compared factors like customer service, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Lynchburg:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control industry. With this experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: rodents, spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ticks, ants, and wildlife control including raccoons, squirrels, opossums, skunks, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments during the year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. It has great consumer reviews and well-trained pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin deals with are mice, earwigs, cockroaches, carpenter ants, moths, bees, termites, spiders, bed bugs, rats, and more. Orkin’s general pest control service is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience getting rid of pests. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which provide tailored services.
It protects against 36 of the most common pests such as spiders, flies, cockroaches, moths, mice, bed bugs, rats, and more. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control companies are the identical in credibility, experience, and competence. Researching providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Lynchburg'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 providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. However, 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 (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest control providers, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire a qualified provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Different pests appear in different locations. In Lynchburg, there are several that residents may deal with. We studied around 10 million online discussions to uncover the most common pests infesting local homes.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on the 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 consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted bugs like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Lynchburg 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
