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 state availability, costs, customer reviews, contracts, pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Hesperia ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. The company provides effective pest control services that are safe for your family.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they take care of much more than just that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, rodents, spiders, cockroaches, ants, ticks, and wildlife control such as raccoons, skunks, opossums, squirrels, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides other services, including mechanical exclusion, attic insulation, moisture control, and home disinfection services.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators must undergo 160 hours of training. And, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly 100 years’ worth of experience dealing with pests. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which provide individual services.
It handles 36 of the most common pests including bed bugs, cockroaches, flies, spiders, rats, moths, mice, and more. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in reputation, background, and proficiency. Researching businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
We highly recommend looking at customer reviews before 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 continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a provider from our list of Hesperia's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing 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 gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest management services, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Hesperia is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. We reviewed 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 Hesperia are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they have to be handled by a professional exterminator to ensure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some cases warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Hesperia homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a 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 pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
