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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by comparing costs, contracts, customer reviews, state availability, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Delafield’s top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
If you need fast pest control service in Delafield, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and develop treatment plan. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your pest control specialist will come back for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides expert pest control solutions all around the world. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Delafield, including spiders, moths, ants, cockroaches, wasps, bed bugs, crickets, mosquitoes, bees, and flies. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control providers are the identical in reputation, skill set, and competence. Vetting services helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
The ideal exterminator 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 demonstrate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about regular education updates for their employees.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Delafield, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” accreditations if you want 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 more potent solutions might be a better option for significant infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat for free if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Delafield is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. So you can have an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we analyzed the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
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 have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Delafield 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
