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:
The team at Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the top pest control experts so you can find the right provider for you. We analyzed costs, customer reviews, contracts, state availability, pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how the top companies in Victoria ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in the industry for about 100 years. The company provides cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they deal with much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, spiders, rodents, cockroaches, ants, ticks, and wildlife control such as skunks, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix offers other services, such as mechanical exclusion, moisture control, home disinfection services, and attic insulation.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Because of its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin’s typical pest control service is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property every four months.
Pest control services vary in credibility, knowledge, and skill. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
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 show that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Before booking an appointment, browse 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 look for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Victoria's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest management companies, contact each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Victoria is home to a number of pests, from insects to wildlife. Our team examined around 10 million posts on social media to pinpoint the pests that cause the most trouble in the area.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
A pest control company gets rid of unwanted insects or animals that have infested your property. Pest control also consists of preventative measures taken to help stop said pests from returning, which can often happen during the summer in Victoria.
Many Victoria homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
