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 assessed pest control treatments offered, costs, state availability, contracts, customer reviews, and more.

Pest control businesses vary in credibility, proficiency, and skill. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, 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 associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about ongoing education for their employees.
We suggest looking at customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a provider from our list of Brookhaven's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing 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 companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
After choosing your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to pick the best provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Different pests appear in different places. In Brookhaven, there are several that residents may deal with. We reviewed around 10 million posts on social media to determine the most common pests in the city.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in business for several decades.
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 home.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Brookhaven homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
