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 team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing factors like types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, customer satisfaction, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to rid your property of pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
If you need quick pest control service in Compton, consider Orkin. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has positive customer reviews and professional pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin handles many common pests, including ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and spiders. After your first visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Compton, including cockroaches, bees, mosquitoes, moths, flies, wasps, bed bugs, spiders, crickets, and ants. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control businesses aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, understanding, and capability. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
The ideal exterminator 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 demonstrate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about ongoing education for their employees.
We highly recommend reading customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. 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 the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Compton's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Many types of pests find their way into Compton homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. To help you prepare for the most commonly seen pests, we studied social media conversations and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and reading through reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray cockroach, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Compton homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 companies for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
