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 companies, we considered several factors including industry experience, coverage, customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Tysons’s top companies ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix helps with all kinds of pests in Tysons, and if you’re not completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
If you need immediate pest control service in Tysons, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has great customer reviews and skilled pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the globe and nearly a century of experience in the industry. The well-known brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Tysons, including bees, spiders, flies, cockroaches, wasps, bed bugs, crickets, ants, moths, and mosquitoes. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control providers are the equal in reputation, qualifications, and proficiency. Vetting providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having 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 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 for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of the top pest control in Tysons, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask questions such as:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select the best provider to effectively address your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
A variety of pests like to find their way into Tysons homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. To help you identify the most common pests, we studied social media conversations and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need to 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.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
In a town like Tysons, where the cost of living is very high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, such as what kind of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
