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 top pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We analyzed customer reviews, state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, costs, and more.
Here’s how Auburn’s top companies ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free 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 NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix deals with all types of pest problems for homeowners and business owners. These include raccoons, opossums, ants, roaches, spiders, termites, and rodents. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, with three additional treatments during the year.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Due to its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your pest control specialist will come back for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: mosquitoes, wasps, spiders, ants, flies, bed bugs, cockroaches, moths, bees, and crickets. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control providers aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, understanding, and competence. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with 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 shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
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 a positive customer experience. 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 Auburn's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” accreditations if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that more potent solutions might be a better option for significant infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will return and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top pest control companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the most qualified provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Auburn is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. So you can have an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted insects or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to help stop those pests from returning, which can often happen during the summer in Auburn.
Many Auburn homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the summer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
