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 compared factors like coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, industry experience, and more.
This is how the top companies in Sheridan ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in the industry for almost 100 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix exterminates all kinds of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include termites, raccoons, spiders, opossums, rodents, roaches, and ants. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin deals with many common pests, such as silverfish, spiders, cockroaches, and ants. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which provide individual services.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: bees, bed bugs, mosquitoes, moths, flies, ants, crickets, spiders, wasps, and cockroaches. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will service your property every four months.
Pest control businesses aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, expertise, and capability. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials demonstrates that a technician has adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive consistent training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you select an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Sheridan, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “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 traditional methods might be a better option for major infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top exterminators, contact each one with these questions:
Carefully review potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Which pests you may see depends on where you live. In Sheridan, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We studied around 10 million posts on social media to determine the most common pests in the city.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Sheridan are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
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. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they must be handled by a trained exterminator to ensure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to contact several companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Sheridan 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 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
