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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, customer reviews, costs, and more.
This is how the top companies in Canton ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company offers effective pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix offers both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix has services, like moisture control, attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, and home disinfection services.
If you need fast pest control service in Canton, Orkin could be the right company for you. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and draw up treatment plan. Once the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides professional pest control solutions all around the world. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will return to your property as often as your contract states.
Pest control services vary in credibility, understanding, and capability. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any 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 Canton's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that 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 gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that stronger solutions might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, contact each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Canton is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we analyzed the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
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 coming back.
Pest control chemicals 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 young children and pets — and how long you should stay out of your house 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 best exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Canton homeowners wonder 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 getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
