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 best pest control companies to help you find the best provider for you. We analyzed customer reviews, state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, costs, and more.

Not all pest control businesses are the same in credibility, background, and competence. Evaluating services helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Take some time to read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself 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 an exterminator from our list of Thompson's Station'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” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm 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. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides that are classified as greater than 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 provider will come back and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest management companies, contact each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In Thompson's Station, there are several that residents may deal with. To help you prepare for the most commonly seen pests, we studied social media conversations and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they need to be handled by a trained professional to ensure they’re used properly and safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain amount of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
The key to finding the right exterminator for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Thompson's Station 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
