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 providers by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to exterminate insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Its pest control specialists need to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify potential problems and develop treatment plan. Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is also quarterly, meaning your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control branches like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Rich, including cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, crickets, moths, spiders, mosquitoes, bees, flies, and wasps. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will return to your property as often as your contract states.
Pest control providers aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, expertise, and effectiveness. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Rich's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” accreditations if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that more potent methods might be a better option for significant infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top exterminators, contact each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in Rich, ranging from harmless annoyances to disease-carrying insects. We came up with a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were often mentioned on social media platforms.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help determine which company best fits your needs.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted bugs like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to remove the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Rich homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per 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 providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
