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:
We narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing contracts, state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Shawano:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. With the amount of experience the company has, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they handle much more than that. Their other services include: cockroaches, mosquitoes, rodents, ants, spiders, ticks, and wildlife control such as opossums, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, with three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. It has positive consumer reviews and skilled pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin can protect your home from many common pests, such as ants, silverfish, spiders, and cockroaches. After the first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which provide individual services.
It deals with 36 of the most common pests including moths, cockroaches, rats, mice, flies, spiders, bed bugs, and more. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are identical when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
It's best to choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about required training hours and continuing education.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. 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 provider from our list of Shawano'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” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a considerable pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, 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 make another visit and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests after the initial treatment. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest management companies, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the right provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Shawano is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. So you can have an idea of the most common pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
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. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Shawano homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
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 problem is resolved.
