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've narrowed down the best pest control companies to help you find the best provider for you. We considered customer reviews, state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, contracts, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Newington Forest ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: rodents, cockroaches, mosquitoes, spiders, ants, ticks, and wildlife control including squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments during the year.
If you need quick pest control service in Newington Forest, Orkin could be a good company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. 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 is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: cockroaches, spiders, ants, bed bugs, wasps, mosquitoes, flies, moths, crickets, and bees. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control providers are the equal in credibility, skill set, and proficiency. Researching businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
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 continual training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Newington Forest'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 services that use “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. 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 (besides those classified as 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 company will return and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home following the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
It's important to know which pests you're bound to come across in Newington Forest. We studied around 10 million online conversations to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you should stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
A pest control company removes unwanted insects or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also includes preventative measures that stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Newington Forest, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Newington Forest homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
