    The 10 Best Exterminators Near Me (with Free Estimates) - October 1, 2019 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The best way to get rid of termites is to act fast. Termites are a problem that will only get worse and no matter how much you want them to, they usually dont magically move out on their own. There are three main types of termites: drywood, dampwood and subterranean. Drywood and dampwood termites sneak through cracks in your exterior paint, nail holes, and gaps near windows and other openings and begin to eat through your wood. Subterranean termites enter your house from the ground up by creating mud tunnels. In all cases, they survive by eating the wood of your house. The type of termites you have can steer the treatment plan.

    Methods of termite extermination include fumigation, use of pesticides, and use of natural elements that are poisonous to the bugs. The extent of your termite infestation will help determine the treatment method. If you have drywood or dampwood termites that have infiltrated all aspects of the wood in your home, the pest control pro may recommend enclosing the whole house in a tent and gassing the termites via fumigation. If you have subterranean termites, often the entire footprint of the home must be treated by drilling liquid treatments into the slab or foundation of the home to exterminate the colonies. In any case, once you see signs of termites, its time to take action and call a pest pro.

    Best Pest Control Companies 2019 – Orkin, Terminix, Massey … - September 25, 2019 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Finding the best pest control services can be hard as even the biggest companies dont operate in all states, and do not provide a full range of pest control solutions. Whether they fly, creep, crawl or jump, pests can interrupt your everyday life and need to be eliminated or removed. You can expect pests to be around all year, so finding a good pest control service is essential.

    Remember that modern pest control is just that: control. It takes time and you will not see 100% improvement in one treatment. The best pest control services will work with you, educating you on how to deter pests all year round, while providing quarterly checks to help deter pests from invading your home.

    Large scale pest control service offering wide range of services

    Wide range of states

    Expertise across all pest

    Accessible customer service

    Higher prices

    Dont operate in Alaska, Montana and North Dekota

    Terminix is a pest control company that operates through a wide selection of states, offer fast response times and cover a wide range of pests - scoring highly across our three main categories.

    Terminix offers a wide range of pest control solutions and deal with almost every pest infestation imaginable, from bugs like ants and cockroaches to arachnids like spiders, as well as, rodents like mice and rats. They even have experience covering the rarer, and geographically specific pest problems, like scorpions. So, whether it crawls, buzzes or slithers Terminix is a pest control service with the knowledge and expertise to help you take your home back.

    Terminix has a vast array of plans in place that are designed to treat specific scenarios of pest infestation. The most basic pest control plan they offer is a one time treatment remove and help prevent further infections. But they also offer yearly protection plans were a pest control technician visits a property quarterly to help protect your home from the seasonal migration of pests into your home.

    They also have special termite protection plans in place, where they help prevent damage cost from termite infestation by creating bait barriers and yearly inspections.They also offer free inspections and quotes if you are just discovering a pest problem and are unsure what to do. So, they have versatile pest control services and strategies in place that are designed for both the season, and locality. They also place an emphasis on prevention rather than removal.

    The emphasis on helping you defend your home from an infestation can be seen through their policy of educating their customers about pest, and how to deter infections. Terminix offers a wide range of information about pests through an online library. This database will help you identify the pest problems you are experiencing by talking you through identifying features, common habitats, as well as, providing you with tips on how to prevent and control with these pest infestations.

    Terminix offer a guarantee for their alot of their services and plans - although this can vary depending on the nature of the plan. If you are not satisfied by the results of their pest control service in thirty days you get a refund of the treatment cost, and the plan is cancelled. During this thirty day period Terminix will normal visit a property without any additional charges. This usually ensures that you get a good level of service, especially if you are willing to issue complaints.

    Terminix also has a very helpful and accessible customer service department that offer around the clock assistance and advice.

    The biggest disadvantage of Terminix are the slightly higher prices they charge when compared to other pest control services. As they offer a lot of pest control plans in a wide range of areas, it is hard to say if their prices are higher across the board. For the specific scenario we posited their rates were higher, but not a significant amount to make the fees extornant. So, although this is a con, it isnt the biggest con.

    Although Terminix offers pest control services in a lot of states, they dont operate in every state. If you live in Alaska, Montana or North Dakota this pest control company isnt available.

    Read the full review here:Terminix

    Small scale pest control service that offers excellent rates and services

    Competitive prices

    Detailed pest control plans

    Strong removal and prevention methodology

    Only operate in 18 states

    Customer service varies between branches

    Branches can be too specialized

    Truly Nolen pest control services operate in a smaller area compared to Terminix. Truly Nolen currently have offices in just 18 states meaning there are a lot of areas they dont cover. They have a comprehensive list of their offices on their website, which is searchable by ZIP code. This localization problem is compounded by the fact that some of their branches are specialized in one pest control area. Meaning you may have a branch locally, but they may only deal with termite infestations. This is largely due to them being a franchise model business.

    If you are looking for a quality level service for a lower price, Truly Nolen is a great option. Our research found they offer lower prices than most pest control companies we contact in regards to a scenario. Though as we didnt create additional scenarios this might not be reflected across the board of services and it is hard to say just how competitive they are. It is best to get a range of quotes for the pest control service you want.

    Truly Nolen puts an emphasis on fast response times. They strife to respond to all queries within a 24 hour period, and they were extremely fast in responding to our query. This means that their customer service isnt as readily available as Terminix that offers a 24 hour assistance. As it is a franchise, the standard of customer service could vary greatly between branches.

    Truly Nolan are a pest control service that have expertise in dealing in a wide range of pest infestation. They place an emphasis on controlling insects and spiders in a lot of their services and plans, but they do have coherent strategies in place for other kinds of pest control problems like termite infestations, rodent control, bed bugs, scorpions and wasps.

    Their treatment plans for these kinds of infestations are discussed in detail on their website, giving the customer a fantastic insight into their pest control process. The depth of their strategy is great in comparison to Terminix.

    Truly Nolan offer a wide range of plans and treatment methods that focus on interior, exterior and perimeter pest control solutions. They place a lot of emphasis on helping a homeowner develop a yearly pest control plan, with quarterly visits. All their plans and strategies are developed around seasonal pest control issues that are local to the area that they are operating in. So, they offer targeted strategies that focus on the context of the infestation.

    Truly Nolans plans for interior pest control include powder application to treat pests hiding in doorways windows and under the floorboards, destroying spider-webs and their food source, monitoring stations to report on insect activity in your homes, bait stations to trap ants and cockroaches and botanical aerosols.

    Truly Nolan offer strategic plans for exterior pest control where bugs, their eggs and food sources are destroyed, windows and doors are treated with powder to deter pests from entering the property, plugging cracks that let pests enter your house, and a system of baits and lures to prevent pest getting too close to your home.

    So, Truly Nolan has in depth and well thought out strategies for in place that both eliminate the current pests, while lowering the risk of future infestations.

    Like Terminix this company puts an emphasis on teaching a homeowner how to deter and prevent pest infestations. This company also offers a decent educational element on its website - even having a dedicated blog on pest control solutions for all kinds of infestations. They do offer more in depth advice than Terminix, but this advice can be a little harder to find. You can browse 100 different pests in their online library and find out about how to deal with the creatures that have invaded your space.

    Read the full review here: Truly Nolen

    A pest control service that is environmentally friend

    Natural treatments great for allergies

    Environmentally friendly

    Small coverage area

    Slow customer service

    No detailed service plans

    We only reviewed pest control services that are environmentally responsible and use chemicals that wont damage or destroy the surrounding environment. Eco-Wise is a pest control service that prides itself on being environmentally friendly - and keeping the local ecology balanced and healthy. All of Eco-Wises pest control solutions are designed to ensure the treatment is safe, both for the occupants of who live in the treated area, as well as, the local environment. They use more natural treatments, like sealing cracks to prevent insect infestation, over using chemical.

    The number of states that Eco-Wise operates in is hard to gauge from their website that offers little to no information about the states they operate within, which suggests they are a small company and only operate in a very limited number of states.

    As they are a smaller business they dont have the robust customer services that some of the bigger companies offer - and as such dont guarantee a reply in a 24 hour period. It also means that they have a smaller number of technicians that are available for jobs, which might increase the time it takes from them to visit a property.

    Eco-wise dont provide as many services as Terminix or Truly Nolen - like their yearly pest control plan that has quarterly home checks. As such, they are not the most robust of pest control companies. They only offer a small amount of advice regarding infestations and although the educational information isnt as in-depth or easy to use as other pest control companies.

    Eco-Wise provide pest control for the most common offends, like mice, rats, spiders and termites. They also provide a wild-life pest control solution.

    Read the full review here: Eco-Wise Pest Control

    To evaluate pest control services we looked at these categories: price, range of pest expertise, area covered, website educational resources and the service plans they offer.

    The best way to determine an unbiased price score was to get a quote for a single location and one pest infestation. This proved difficult as different companies operate across different states. We standardized our information by getting as many quotes as possible for a 2,500-square foot home in California, since this was the most common state the services operated in. Whenever a company didnt operate in California, we located a 2,500-square foot home in the region where the pest control service operated and got a quote for that home. This gave us a rough idea of pricing in regards to one area of their business and with deeper research there may be greater variation in price across pest type.

    In our evaluation, companies with lower priced services scored higher than higher priced services. Overall, we found that pricing is relatively similar for most pest control companies. Based on our research, the most reasonable pricing for a one-time treatment is usually around $150, while the best pricing for a one-year treatment is typically around $500.

    Additional factors can raise or lower the cost of your treatment:

    We awarded more points to services that offer 24-hour support since this provides peace of mind during an emergency. We also scored services higher if they offered a treatment guarantee. A company that guarantees its work will generally return as often as needed until your bug problem has effectively been eliminated.

    We awarded more points to companies that offer extensive pest libraries as well as prevention and control tips. This resource can help you identify which pests you have in your home to help you determine if you can handle the problem on your own or not.

    It is standard practice for pest control companies to offer emergency services, and most companies respond within a day or two to treat your home or business. Companies that responded faster were scored higher in our evaluation.

    We spent 85 hours contacting and researching 10 exterminator companies to determine which ones offer the best prices, most thorough services and fastest response times. We made a list of each companys services and compared them against each other to determine the best of the best. To get a more in-depth understanding of pesticides and safe exterminating practices, we sought advice from both the EPA and a garden associate at a popular home improvement store.

    Our goal was to give each pest control company an unbiased evaluation by standardizing our comparison as much as possible. However, this was difficult since the services dont all operate in the same states. We chose to evaluate companies that operate within a larger number of states since this would make them more likely to offer services in your area.

    The best services safeguard your property from pest infestations. A pest control technician will inspect and identify the pest problem to provide you with an instant quote before discussing pest control solutions.

    Customer Service

    When you have a bug problem, you don't want to wait or a long solution. The sooner the problem is addressed the less damage and worrying you have to endure. The best pest control companies will respond to your call within 24 hours. They will handle your current bug problem and help you take preventive measures to make it less likely that the bugs will return. Pest control technicians use many methods, such as sprays and bait traps, to control several varieties of pests like termites, ants, spiders, wasps, snakes, bedbugs and others.

    Range of pests

    Beyond common bug problems, we looked for companies that cover such wildlife as snakes, rodents and even birds. The best all-around companies can handle several types of pests, but the right service for you depends on the type of infestation you have. Keep in mind that not all services can treat for termites, which can do serious damage to a home.

    Website education material

    A good place to find the types of pest a company has experience controlling is their website. The design of their website will tell you many things like how they engage with customers, what kind of strategies and plans they have in place for pest control scenarios. It will also give you a good indication if they have an online account management system, which wed highly recommend having for long term pest control plans such as a yearly program.

    Environmentally friendly chemicals

    Most companies offer free inspections for termites, ants and bedbugs, and then supply you with a quote. Companies are required to follow EPA rules so you can expect them to use products and methods that are safe for you, your family, your pets and the environment.

    Pest control companies must also follow regulations for the chemicals they use. And the best pest control companies, like Terminix, use environmentally safe chemicals and spray more powerful poisons responsibly. Some services, such as Eco-Wise, even offer natural and organic pest control options.

    We contacted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to learn about safe and eco-friendly pesticide usage. One of the most important takeaways they gave us was that you should ask the exterminator what pesticides they plan on using.

    A spokesperson from EPA stated, Be sure the pesticides being used are registered with EPA, as necessary, and that the applicator reads and follows the instructions on the label. With the knowledge found on the EPA website, you can see whether the exterminator is using chemicals correctly or if their technique might place you and your loved ones at risk. Keep in mind that good pest control companies wont be afraid to share their chemical list with you.

    How To Get Rid of Roaches | Kill Roaches - December 27, 2018 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Cockroaches are both unpleasant and unsanitary.Getting rid of roaches can be tricky because the two most common roach types (German or American roaches) are eliminated using different techniques. After determining what kind of cockroach you have, follow the recommended treatment plans. We have tips on how to inspect for roaches, critical sanitation/exclusion procedures, and best treatment options to get rid of roaches.

    Are they the smaller type of roach (adults - 1/2 - 1") you see on the kitchen counters when you turn on the light?

    Smaller Types of Roaches such as German Roaches (Inside)

    Ultimate German Roach Bait Kit This German roach kit combines a high quality roach gel bait like Invict Gold, with Tekko Pro IGR (our top IGR), Invade Bio Zap and a qt sprayer.The Invict Gold has 11 attractants (without the top eight food allergens) to combat bait aversion and maximize control. The Tekko Pro IGR has two active ingredients to stop reproduction and destroys the adult roaches ability to survive. A quart sprayer bottle comes with the kit to mix it up. It also includes Invade Bio Zap which is a microbial, natural probiotic liquid to eat away organic odors and allergens. It leaves a fresh citrus scent.

    Are they the larger type of roach (adults 1.5 " or more) that you occasionally see in the kitchen or other areas in your home?

    Larger Types of Roaches such as American Roaches (Inside and Outside)

    LambdaStar Ultracap 9.7 (Broad label, long lasting and odorless). It may be used inside or outside and will dry invisibly. LambdaStar Ultracap will last longer outside and adhere to the surface better due to its encapsulated technology. It will yield 20-40 gallons; spray every 2-3 months.

    Cyzmic CS is also odorless, long lasting and has a broad label. The 8 oz container yields an average of 15 gallons; spray every 2-3 months.

    The first question that we ask when someone says that they have roaches is Where are they living and how big are they? Correctly identifying what kind of cockroach you have is vital and a key to successfully treating a roach infestation. Getting rid of smaller-sized adult roaches is different than getting rid for larger-sized adult roaches. Cockroaches are nocturnal and will scatter if disturbed. The young immature roaches look like the adults, but do not have wings. Once you have correctly identified the cockroach in your area, you can successfully choose treatment options to get rid of your roach problem. Within these pages, we have provided examples of the most common types of roaches found in the USA.

    Smaller adult roaches include the German roach and the Brown-Banded roach. The most invasive of these two types of cockroaches is the German Cockroach .

    The smaller German roach is just 1/2"-1 " in the adult stage. They have two stripes behind their heads and have a light/golden brown color. The Brown-Banded roaches have stripes along their wings. Both the German roach and Brown-Banded roach live and breed inside. Treatment for both these roaches would be the same. The German roach is the most common of the smaller roaches and the most difficult to control. You find these roaches in places that have water or food such as kitchens and bathrooms. These roaches commonly live behind and under sinks, stoves, and refrigerators. In commercial kitchens, they can be found in floor drains. They live in dark places and are nocturnal. It is very common to spot these roaches when you enter a kitchen or bathroom and turn on the light. These small, golden brown roaches will be seen scampering along the counters.

    These roaches do not forage from the outside but travel from one apartment/ suite unit to the adjoining unit. They are brought inside or hitchhike in items such as luggage, boxes and grocery products. German roaches live and breed inside; they can live all season long since they are in a warm, comfortable environment. German roaches can be brought in via luggage, furniture, handbags, or boxes from an infested location. During the warmer months, they can move from building to building. In commercial settings, they can move from one connecting unit to the next thru drop ceilings and common plumbing and electrical elements.

    Carrying bacteria that is transmitted to humans, German cockroaches, and Brown-banded cockroaches are health hazards. The primary diseases are gastroenteritis including food poisoning, dysentery, and diarrhea. Asthma and allergies may be triggered by the German roaches' feces, body parts, or salvia that are circling in the air. Children are particularly affected by these hazards.

    Identifying the presence of German or Brown-Banded roaches is essential for proper control measures. They breed inside and contaminate their living environments while most larger adult cockroaches do not reproduce inside. The most common larger roaches breed outside, and target treatment areas would be different.

    German roaches and Brown-Banded roaches are primarily treated using roach baits and insect growth regulators. Other types of roaches such as the larger American roach are treated using insecticide concentrates sprayed outside and entry points to your house.

    Using Roach baits and using growth regulators are kets to getting rid of these roaches. We have both roach baits and insect growth regulators (IGRs) combined in kits for greater savings. Click Here: German Roach Treatments

    If you need help identifying the type of cockroach, call us at 1-800-476-3368, and we can explain the treatment options. You can also place sticky traps such as Victor Pheromone Traps #327RPT on the kitchen counters at night to catch them and take a picture. Send email with the picture attachment and we will be glad to help you with identification. Refer to this Roach Treatment Chart, for a quick glance.

    Large adult roaches include the American roach , Australian, Smoky Brown Oriental Roaches and Woods Roaches. The most common of the larger sized roach is the American roach. The American roach is second only to the German cockroach in abundance.

    The American roach is reddish brown and is about 1.5 " or longer. Many people refer to these types of roaches as water bugs or palmetto bugs. These larger sized roaches are not known to spread disease as compared to the German roach. All the treatment options are similar for the larger roaches.

    The American roaches are common in warmer climates or during the warmer spring, summer and fall months. They mostly live and breed outside and wander inside for water and food. They are often found inside after extreme weather conditions, like heavy rain or drought conditions. They mainly live outside in organic, mulch material. They will also be found in basements, woodpiles, attics, hollow trees, under roof shingles, and in attics. They are common in steam tunnels in the northern states in the USA. Most of the time, they breed outside. However, if conditions are right, they will reproduce inside. For example, you may find an American roach population behind a wall that has had a water leak causing a moist environment.

    Since American roaches move from sewers into homes or commercial establishments, they can be a health concern. They carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites on their bodies which lead to dysentery, diarrhea, and salmonella. These health concern are not at the same magnitude of the health concern from German roaches since most of the time they live and breed outside.

    Spraying a residual insecticide and using granular baits are best options for preventing and getting rid of these larger types of roaches. This type of roach is easier to treat than the smaller type of roach like the German roach. Certain roaches gain resistance over time to pesticides.We stay current with the best treatment options available on the market. Click Here: American Roach Treatments.

    Sanitation and exclusion techniques are important tools in your roach control program. Roaches need food, water and a safe place to harbor. As much as possible eliminate the food, water, and harbor sources as you choose and apply your roach control treatment plan.

    German and Brown-Banded Roaches

    For the German roach type, it is critical to clean your kitchen and bathrooms while beginning a roach baiting program. This cleaning includes some deep cleaning in both the kitchen and bathrooms. Pay attention to crumbs and grease in the kitchen and unclean tubs, showers, bathroom countertops in the bathrooms. If you do not clean well, it will be more difficult to get rid of these types of roaches.

    American Roaches and Other Larger Roaches

    For the American type and larger roaches, it will be helpful to remove any harborage area outside and seal cracks and crevices that they may be entering. Eliminate food sources and block entry points is the first line of defense to preventing these types of roaches in your home.

    Pictured are the Brown-banded , American , German , and Oriental egg capsules.

    If possible, inspect at night, since roaches are usually nocturnal. If you see German cockroaches during the daytime, it is an indicator of a significant infestation. When there is a musty type of smell, it indicates a roach infestation.

    Inspection will help you identify the kind of roach that you have. Look for fecal droppings and egg cases. The smaller German and Brown-Banded cockroaches will leave fecal material that looks like black pepper. It is essential to remove these droppings as soon as possible because they can cause health problems such as asthma. Use a vacuum to pull up these droppings.

    It is important to remove these droppings as soon as possible because they can cause health problems such as asthma.Use a vacuum to pull up these droppings after inspection.

    When inspecting for German cockroaches, it is important to be thorough during an inspection. Apply the suggested roach baits, insect growth regulators or insecticides as close to their active runs and harborages as possible.

    Places to Inspect:

    American Roach FecesThe larger roach, like the American roach leave cylinder shape droppings with ridges that is brown or black. If it is a small cylinder shape without the ridge, it may be mice droppings.

    Places to Inspect:

    Invict Gold Cockroach Bait Gel- InVict Gold Cockroach Gel is formulated for rapid control of roaches. In fact, it starts working in about 20 minutes. The bait matrix in Invict Roach Bait contains 11 food attractants (without the top eight food allergens) to combat bait aversion and maximize roach control. Put pea size drops of Invict Gold Roach Bait wherever you see their fecal material (looks like pepper). Place about 10 to 20 spots per 100 square feet. Place out a higher number of drops when the roaches are in inaccessible areas like wall voids or if the infestation heavy. Use the higher number of spots when infestations are heavy and/or when roaches are living primarily in wall voids or other inaccessible areas. Repeat in 1-2 weeks. We highly recommend combining Invict Roach Bait with an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) like Tekko Pro IGR (See our roach kits that combine both products for reduced savings.)

    Ultimate German Roach Kit

    This kit is not only designed to completely get rid of roaches, but also gets rid of allergens that German roaches leave behind.

The Invade Bio Zap with a citrus odor has microbial, natural probiotic liquid to eat away organic odors and sanitizes the area..

    Vendetta Roach Bait-Gentrol Point Source IGR Kit

    This economical kit combines the Vendetta Roach bait with Gentrol Point Source IGR combination for German Roach Control. Killing the adult population and preventing new births.

    LambdaStar Ultracap 9.7 (Broad label, long lasting and odorless). It may be used inside or outside and will dry invisibly. LambdaStar Ultracap will last longer outside and adhere to the surface better due to its encapsulated technology. It will yield 20-40 gallons

    Spray outside around doors, windows, pipe openings, and dryer vents. Apply also on the inside on the baseboards near the entry points. On the inside, apply around the plumbing under the sinks and washer and dryer connections. You don't have to spray all the interior baseboards, just the corners and baseboards inside the garage and basement areas.

    Intice 10 Perimeter Bait

    Intice 10 Perimeter Bait not only works well around the perimeter, but would also be excellent choices for crawl spaces and or attics.

    Intice 10 Perimeter Bait has 10% boric acid combined with a proprietary bait matrix of both carboyhdrate and protein oils for wide acceptance by roaches.It also will kill crickets, earwigs, sowbugs, and more insects.

    This bait is a NOP compliant insecticide and is considered a green solution.

    American and Large Roach Kit

    This kit is ideal for the larger types of roaches such as the American roach. It contains a residual insecticide (spray inside and outside), a granulated insecticide bait (as perimeter bait and may be used in crawlspace and attic areas as well), and an aerosol with its crack and crevice tip to get into small hiding areas.

    Turner Pest Control – Serving Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa … - December 27, 2018 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Cost-conscious homeowners know that price matters, but its not the most important factor when choosing any type of company. You may find a provider who charges very little, but who also delivers little in return. Instead, look for the right combination of value and quality.

    To determine value when comparing pest control companies, make sure you thoroughly understand each companys contract, including exactly what they will do, how they will do it, and any guarantees they say they offer. Ask if the company is properly insured, licensed and qualified, and whether it belongs to pest management trade associations on a local, state, or national basis. Also ask if their employees have passed background checks and what level of training their technicians have.

    Look for a company that has been in business in your community for a long time, and find out how satisfied customers are with the companys service by asking for references and checking online reviews.

    At Turner Pest Control, our technicians have up-to-the-minute training in the latest, safest, and most effective pest control methods, and our pricing is based on the size of your home or yard. We also offer flexible plans and a range of affordable recurring services for the right balance of quality and value.
