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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we considered several factors such as coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, industry experience, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Sammamish:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in the industry for almost 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 seasonal pest control. Additionally, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
If you need fast pest control service in Sammamish, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin deals with are hornets, flies, wasps, rats, bed bugs, mice, crickets, yellow jackets, moths, bees, and more. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience handling pests. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control businesses vary in credibility, understanding, and competence. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about continuing education opportunities.
Before booking an appointment, browse 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 complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a provider from our list of Sammamish'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 gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that stronger methods 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.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, contact each one with these questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Sammamish is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. Our experts reviewed around 10 million social media conversations to pinpoint the pests that create the most issues in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must 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 house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Pest control involves getting rid of unwanted insects like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
In a city like Sammamish, where the cost of living is really high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs varies based on several factors, including what kind of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger in the summer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
