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 compared several factors like customer service, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
This is how the top companies in Keystone ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Keystone, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, such as ants, silverfish, spiders, and cockroaches. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners get rid of common pests for over 90 years. The global brand owns the North American pest control providers Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.

Not all pest control businesses are the same in credibility, background, and competence. Researching companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
You should choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
We suggest checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other review sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Keystone, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have found your top pest management companies, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to select the right provider to effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
A variety of pests like to find their way into Keystone homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. To help you prepare for the most problematic pests, we reviewed online discussions and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Keystone are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to remove the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Keystone homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Keystone, where pests can be more common because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
