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 took into consideration factors like coverage, industry experience, customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Little Chute ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix takes care of all types of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include raccoons, spiders, termites, opossums, roaches, ants, and rodents. In addition to pest control, Terminix has services, including attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin handles includes cockroaches, spiders, termites, bees, centipedes, hornets, ticks, bed bugs, carpenter ants, rats, and more. Once the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly a century’s worth of experience getting rid of pests. The brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
It helps with 36 of the most common pests such as rats, moths, flies, mice, spiders, cockroaches, bed bugs, and more. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control providers vary in reputation, knowledge, 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 company:
Look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking 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 consistent education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Little Chute'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 offering “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need more potent traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than 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 you still have pests in your home following the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top-rated pest management providers, have conversations with each one and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Carefully review potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various kinds of pests in Little Chute, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. So you can have an idea of the most common pests in the city, we studied the pests discussed in around 10 million social media posts.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. However, they have to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Little Chute homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
