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 to help you find the right provider for you. We assessed contracts, state availability, pest control treatments offered, customer reviews, costs, and more.
This is how the top companies in Yuba City ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. The company provides effective pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they exterminate much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, ants, spiders, cockroaches, and wildlife control including opossums, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
If you need immediate pest control service in Yuba City, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify potential problems and draw up treatment plan. Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is also seasonal, so 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 expert pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control companies like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: crickets, bed bugs, flies, ants, wasps, spiders, bees, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and moths. Depending on where you live, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control businesses are the same in reputation, skill set, and proficiency. Evaluating services helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about continuing training for their employees.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Yuba City's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” certifications if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that more potent methods might be a better option for major infestations. 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.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments may not include reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top pest control companies, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the most qualified provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In Yuba City, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. Our experts studied around 10 million online discussions to identify the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they must be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure 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 a maximum of 24 hours.
Many Yuba City homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
