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 companies by considering factors like customer satisfaction, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its exterminators need to undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin deals with many common pests, such as ants, silverfish, spiders, and cockroaches. Orkin’s typical pest control plan is also seasonal, meaning your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides professional pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Hemet, including bees, cockroaches, moths, bed bugs, ants, crickets, flies, wasps, spiders, and mosquitoes. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property every quarter.
Not all pest control providers are the same in reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. Researching providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
Choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about regular education updates for their employees.
We highly recommend looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites will show 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 the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose a provider from our list of Hemet'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 more potent chemical treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each of them and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in Hemet, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. To help you prepare for the most problematic pests, we studied online discussions and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. However, they have to be handled by a professional exterminator to ensure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
Many Hemet 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 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
