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 providers, we took into consideration factors including types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, customer service, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Bastrop ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for about 100 years. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix takes care of all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include spiders, raccoons, roaches, opossums, termites, rodents, and ants. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Its exterminators complete 160 hours of training. And, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Pests Orkin deals with are moths, rats, scorpions, earwigs, cockroaches, termites, centipedes, carpenter ants, fleas, mice, and more. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners handle the following pests: moths, bed bugs, bees, flies, crickets, cockroaches, spiders, ants, mosquitoes, and wasps. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control services vary in reputation, understanding, and capability. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of Bastrop's best pest control, 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 providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top exterminators, call each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various kinds of pests in Bastrop, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. To help you identify the most commonly seen pests, we reviewed online discussions and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Bastrop are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. Even so, they have to be handled by a professional exterminator to make sure they’re used safely, which is especially important if you have young children. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain amount of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
In a town like Bastrop, where the cost of living is really low compared to other cities, the cost of pest control could still be a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, including what type of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is generally cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
