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 down the top pest control providers by considering factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, industry experience, coverage, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. With this experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, and wildlife control including opossums, skunks, squirrels, raccoons, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Its exterminators complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: mosquitoes, spiders, flies, cockroaches, bed bugs, bees, crickets, wasps, ants, and moths. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and competence. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Focus on these key factors when selecting 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 roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a professional from our list of Rawlins' best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the most qualified provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
You should know which pests you might see as a resident of Rawlins. We reviewed around 10 million social media conversations to identify the pests that were causing the most trouble for residents.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, have locations nationwide, 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 or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Rawlins homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 an estimate.
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 over the course of the first three to six months.
