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 considered several factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, coverage, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. The company provides effective pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix can help you with all types of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include opossums, ants, rodents, raccoons, termites, spiders, and roaches. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will assess your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
It's best to choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
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 most recent pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Burlington, 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 companies with “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, all 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. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top exterminators, contact each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
You should be aware of the pests you might encounter while living in Burlington. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were often posted about on social media sites.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
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 children and pets — and how long you should stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Burlington homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
