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 identified the top pest control companies by comparing costs, state availability, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix is headquartered 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. It uses the latest pest control techniques to rid your property of pests no matter where you find them.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: ants, mosquitoes, rodents, spiders, ticks, cockroaches, and wildlife control including opossums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Its exterminators have to complete 160 hours of training. Additionally, because of its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Once the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience. The company provides expert pest control treatments all around the world. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control companies are identical when it comes to reputation, proficiency, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
It's best to choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
We suggest reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites can tell you 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 ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select an exterminator from our list of Bonham's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; 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) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will make another visit to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest management companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in Bonham, ranging from harmless nuisances to ones that can damage your home. Our experts analyzed around 10 million social media conversations to uncover the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in the industry for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on the situation. You’ll want to consider factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about your young children or pets.
Many Bonham homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so pest control in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
