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 narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in business for about 100 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 helps with all kinds of pests in Mesquite, and if you aren’t satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Along with pest control, Terminix offers other services, such as home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and attic insulation.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. Its exterminators need to undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify issues and draw up treatment plan. After your initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on your location, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control providers are the equal in credibility, experience, and effectiveness. Evaluating companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control provider:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
The ideal pest control company 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 indicate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive consistent training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Mesquite'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 natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” certifications. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not have reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Mesquite is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. So you can have an idea of the most common pests in the city, we studied the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're 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. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Mesquite homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Mesquite, where pests can crop up more often because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
