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 Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, and more.
This is how the top companies in Mequon ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. 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 NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix helps with all kinds of pests in Mequon, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. It has excellent customer reviews and qualified exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which provide individual services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will service your property every quarter.
Pest control services aren't all the same when it comes to credibility, understanding, and competence. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific issue. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing 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.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
We advise checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check for any Better Business Bureau 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 provider from our list of the top pest control in Mequon, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or snakes, 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 moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, reach out to each one and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the right provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Mequon is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. We analyzed around 10 million social media posts to determine the most common pests in the city.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
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 make sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. In addition, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Mequon homeowners are concerned 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher in the summer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
