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:
Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the top pest control companies so you can find the right provider for you. We analyzed contracts, customer reviews, state availability, costs, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Inglewood ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for about 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: rodents, mosquitoes, cockroaches, spiders, ants, ticks, and wildlife control such as skunks, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments during the year.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. It has great customer reviews and qualified pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin handles includes bed bugs, mice, moths, scorpions, wasps, fleas, rats, hornets, yellow jackets, centipedes, and more. After the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: bed bugs, bees, crickets, cockroaches, mosquitoes, moths, spiders, wasps, ants, and flies. Rentokil’s services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control providers aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and capability. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific situation. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. These credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you verify 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 choose a professional from our list of Inglewood'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” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more potent traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals 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 may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Carefully review potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
You should be aware of the pests you're bound to encounter in Inglewood. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by examining which pests were frequently posted about on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do diligent research. We recommend getting quotes from several companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company is the best for you.
Many Inglewood 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 pest control providers for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
