OUR APPROACH
A ranking should tell you why.
Pest products often solve very different parts of the same problem. We look past the biggest promise on the box and compare what each product actually targets, how much work it creates for the homeowner, what evidence supports it, and whether the ongoing cost makes sense.
Everyday effort
Power, refills, placement, cleanup, replacement parts and routine maintenance.
Evidence
We give more weight to relevant product-specific testing when it is available.
Value
Upfront price matters, but recurring supplies and real-property coverage matter too.
Transparency matters.
