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 companies by comparing state availability, costs, contracts, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Lenexa’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. It utilizes the latest innovations in pest control to get rid of insects and unwanted wildlife wherever they are.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Lenexa, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Its pest control specialists must undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Orkin’s general pest control service plan is also seasonal, meaning your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and nearly a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control companies aren't all equal when it comes to reputation, expertise, and competence. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
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 continuing regular education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you select an exterminator from our list of Lenexa's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” certifications. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as 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 return and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Lenexa is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. So you can have an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to contact multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
In a city like Lenexa, where the cost of living is above average compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control varies based on several factors, such as what type of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
