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 team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. The company provides professional pest control services that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix treats all kinds of pests in Huntington, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, with three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including silverfish, cockroaches, spiders, and ants. Orkin’s typical pest control plan is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides professional pest control treatments all around the world. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide tailored services.
It handles 36 of the most common pests including bed bugs, moths, rats, flies, spiders, mice, cockroaches, and more. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control providers are equal when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has 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.
When selecting a pest control company, 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). Obtaining these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Look through 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 receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Huntington, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” accreditations to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that traditional methods might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home following the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest control companies, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are a variety of pests in Huntington, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. To give you 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.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service locations all around the country, and have been in the industry for a long time.
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. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. In addition, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about your young children.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted bugs or animals that have infested a property. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to stop said pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Huntington, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Huntington homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before nest and 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 any other season and see effective results.
