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:
Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the best pest control experts so you can find the right provider for you. We analyzed contracts, pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how West Allis’s top companies ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to rid your home of pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they help with much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, spiders, cockroaches, rodents, ticks, ants, and wildlife control including squirrels, skunks, opossums, raccoons, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix offers other services, such as home disinfection services, moisture control, attic insulation, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin handles many common pests, such as spiders, silverfish, cockroaches, and ants. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control providers like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection of your property, a technician will return to your property every four months.
Not all pest control services are the same when it comes to credibility, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the best option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, 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 a technician has adequate training. Inquire with the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in West Allis, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for companies with “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
After picking your top pest management services, contact each one with questions such as these:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are a variety of pests in West Allis, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. So you can have an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we examined the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on social media.
The top pest control companies 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 getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around young children and pets — or are wondering how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many West Allis homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if you'd like more protection. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
