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 narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing pest control treatments offered, state availability, customer reviews, contracts, costs, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix handles all kinds of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include termites, raccoons, ants, roaches, spiders, opossums, and rodents. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has positive consumer reviews and professional pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your technician will come back for another visit.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to 100 years’ worth of experience dealing with pests. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Taunton, including cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants, moths, crickets, bees, bed bugs, wasps, spiders, and flies. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control businesses are equal when it comes to reputation, expertise, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should 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 qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Taunton, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not have reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each one and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Which pests you may see depends on where you live. In Taunton, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were frequently mentioned on social media sites.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Taunton are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to contact several companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your home. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Taunton 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 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
