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:
The Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control companies by considering factors like coverage, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how Camano’s top providers ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix deals with all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include spiders, rodents, roaches, termites, raccoons, opossums, and ants. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides services, including moisture control, home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, and attic insulation.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and draw up treatment plan. Orkin’s typical pest control plan is also quarterly, which means your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and nearly a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control providers like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. Its services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, knowledge, and capability. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should explain their process for 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. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose a company from our list of Camano's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that 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 squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top pest management services, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Different pests come up in different places. In Camano, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. So you can have an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we studied the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Camano 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. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and prevent them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Camano homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per 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 companies for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
