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:
Today's Homeowner’s experts narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, and more.
Here’s how Conroe’s top companies ranked:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. The company provides professional pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix treats many types of pests in Conroe, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Along with pest control, Terminix offers services, like home disinfection services, attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, and moisture control.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists must undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Pests Orkin handles includes flies, centipedes, spiders, bees, hornets, crickets, scorpions, fleas, silverfish, earwigs, and more. Once the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control services are equal when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle 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 exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to question each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select a provider from our list of the top pest control in Conroe, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, contact each one with these questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Different pests appear in different locations. In Conroe, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. We examined around 10 million social media conversations to figure out which pests people in different areas had the most problems with.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Conroe homeowners are concerned 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
