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:
When ranking these pest control providers, we compared factors such as types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, industry experience, customer service, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to rid your property of pests wherever they are.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, with three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Due to its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin can protect your home from many common pests, such as ants, spiders, cockroaches, and silverfish. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience handling pests. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners deal with the following pests: bees, mosquitoes, moths, ants, cockroaches, spiders, flies, bed bugs, crickets, and wasps. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will treat your property as often as your contract states.
Not all pest control businesses are the equal in reputation, experience, and capability. Vetting companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
We highly recommend checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Boynton Beach's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back 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 determined your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the most qualified provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Boynton Beach is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. To give you an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we examined the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on social media.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. However, they need to be handled by a trained professional to make sure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
Many Boynton Beach homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious 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 nest and 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 any other season and see effective results.
