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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control companies by analyzing contracts, state availability, customer reviews, costs, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Bridgeport’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. 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 helps with dozens of pests in Bridgeport, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Its exterminators must undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Bridgeport, including flies, crickets, bed bugs, ants, wasps, cockroaches, spiders, bees, moths, and mosquitoes. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control providers are the same in credibility, experience, and effectiveness. Evaluating providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about continuing training for their employees.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you verify 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 up-to-date pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Bridgeport's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company 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 compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, talk to each one and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select the best provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Bridgeport, there are several that residents may deal with. We reviewed around 10 million social media conversations to uncover the most common pests plaguing local homes.
The top pest control companies 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 every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to get in touch with several companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Pest control involves removing unwanted bugs like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
In a town like Bridgeport, where the cost of living is marginally high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control may be a concern. How much pest control costs varies based on several factors, including what kind of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
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 spray your home 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.
