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:
The team at Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the best pest control experts to help you find the right provider for you. We considered contracts, costs, customer reviews, state availability, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. It utilizes the latest technology in pest control to rid your property of pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix provides both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. It has excellent consumer reviews and professional pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin helps with are silverfish, carpenter ants, flies, termites, spiders, earwigs, moths, bees, yellow jackets, bed bugs, and more. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. The brand owns the North American pest control companies Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It exterminates 36 of the most common pests including flies, rats, spiders, mice, moths, bed bugs, cockroaches, and more. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property as often as your contract states.
Not all pest control services are the same when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
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 describe how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator 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 show that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading 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 complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Plymouth, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top-rated pest management providers, have conversations with each of them and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers 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.
Plymouth is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. To give you an idea of the most common pests in the city, we studied the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have 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 quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
The key to finding the best 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.
Many Plymouth homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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 providers for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
