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:
When ranking these pest control providers, we compared several factors including customer service, coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. With this experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix treats many types of pests in Brownwood, and if you aren’t completely satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has excellent customer reviews and qualified pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify problem pests and areas and draw up treatment plan. After your initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, crickets, spiders, ants, wasps, bed bugs, moths, and bees. Depending on your location, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control companies vary in reputation, proficiency, and capability. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about continuing education opportunities.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Brownwood'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 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. 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 more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest management services, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the best provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Brownwood is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. To help you identify the most common pests, we analyzed online discussions and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Brownwood homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per 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 a quote.
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 home is in the spring before nest and 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 any other season and see effective results.
