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 providers by comparing customer reviews, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how the top pest control companies in Atascocita 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 about 100 years. The company provides state-of-the-art pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
If you need quick pest control service in Atascocita, Orkin might be the company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists need to undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify issues and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Atascocita, including ants, wasps, crickets, flies, spiders, moths, bed bugs, bees, cockroaches, and mosquitoes. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
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 provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Atascocita's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” accreditation. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. 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 ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests following the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
A variety of pests end up finding their way into Atascocita houses. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can cause anxiety. We compiled a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were frequently posted about on social media.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. However, they have to be handled by a trained exterminator to make sure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is usually 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Many Atascocita homeowners are concerned 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
