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 top pest control experts so you can find the right provider for you. We considered costs, pest control treatments offered, contracts, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. The company offers effective pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides other services, including home disinfection services, moisture control, attic insulation, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and draw up treatment plan. Orkin’s most common pest control plan is also seasonal, meaning your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: cockroaches, wasps, flies, crickets, moths, spiders, mosquitoes, bed bugs, bees, and ants. Rentokil uses treatments that are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control services are identical when it comes to credibility, expertise, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Having these credentials indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
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 look for any complaints with 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 select a company from our list of Beaverton's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” accreditations to get 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 traditional solutions might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top contending pest control companies, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to pick a qualified provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
You should be aware of the pests you might encounter as a resident of Beaverton. We examined around 10 million social media conversations to identify which pests were causing the most trouble for residents.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known 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 home.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. However, they have to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Many Beaverton homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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.
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.
