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've narrowed down the top pest control companies to help you find the right provider for you. We considered pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, contracts, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to eliminate insects and unwanted wildlife wherever they are.
Terminix takes care of all types of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include raccoons, ants, rodents, opossums, spiders, roaches, and termites. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists need to undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will come back for another visit.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Its services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control businesses vary in reputation, expertise, and skill. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
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 demonstrate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to question each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before 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 select a provider from our list of Ocoee's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top pest management services, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
You should know which pests you could come across while living in Ocoee. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we reviewed social media conversations and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Ocoee are Terminix and Orkin. 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 home once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. In addition, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Ocoee 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 getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Ocoee, where pests can be more common because of the heat. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
