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 factors such as coverage, industry experience, customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Mount Vista, and if you aren’t completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Along with pest control, Terminix provides other services, such as attic insulation, moisture control, mechanical exclusion, and home disinfection services.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Its pest control specialists must undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify issues and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. Each contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience dealing with pests. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: moths, wasps, mosquitoes, bed bugs, spiders, ants, flies, cockroaches, crickets, and bees. Rentokil’s services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control businesses vary in credibility, proficiency, and competence. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
We highly recommend reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a company from our list of the top pest control in Mount Vista, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest management companies, contact each one with questions such as:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Pests vary by location. In Mount Vista, there are several that residents have to deal with. Our experts studied around 10 million social media posts to identify the pests that create the most issues in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Mount Vista are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded 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 quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they must be handled by a trained professional to make sure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some situations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Mount Vista 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
