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 narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing factors like coverage, industry experience, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix provides both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its pest control specialists need to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin takes care of many common pests, including silverfish, ants, cockroaches, and spiders. Orkin’s general pest control service is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil deals with the common pests in Union, including bed bugs, bees, wasps, cockroaches, mosquitoes, crickets, flies, spiders, moths, and ants. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control businesses 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 choosing 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 rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Union's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “green” accreditations if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that stronger methods might be a better option for significant infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Many kinds of pests can find their way into Union houses. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were frequently mentioned on social media.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted insects or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also consists of preventative measures that help stop said pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in Union, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Union homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the problem is resolved.
