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 to help you find the best provider for you. We analyzed customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, costs, contracts, state availability, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for about 100 years. With this experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they deal with much more than just that. Their other services include: cockroaches, ants, spiders, ticks, rodents, mosquitoes, and wildlife control including squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix offers services, such as home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and attic insulation.
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 undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s typical pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides innovative pest control treatments for homeowners and business owners. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on your location, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control services are the equal in credibility, skill set, and competence. Evaluating businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat 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 indicate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading 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 check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a provider from our list of the top pest control in Bridge City, 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 services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. 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) 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 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.
Once you have reduced your options to your top exterminators, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
It's important to be aware of the pests you're bound to see while living in Bridge City. So you can have an idea of the most common pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for decades.
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 other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to remove the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Bridge City homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
