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 several factors like industry experience, customer service, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Airway Heights’s top providers ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to get rid of pests no matter where you find them.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: spiders, cockroaches, ticks, mosquitoes, rodents, ants, and wildlife control including opossums, skunks, raccoons, squirrels, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix provides other services, including attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, and moisture control.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Its exterminators must undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify issues and draw up treatment plan. Once the first treatment, your Orkin specialist 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 providers across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: moths, cockroaches, wasps, bed bugs, bees, spiders, mosquitoes, ants, flies, and crickets. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control services are the same when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
It's best to choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Before booking an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Airway Heights, 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” accredited 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 stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top-rated pest management providers, have conversations with each of them and be prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in Airway Heights, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were frequently mentioned on social media.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — or are wondering how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about your young children or pets.
Many Airway Heights homeowners wonder 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 contacting several providers for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
