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:
We narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing factors like types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, customer satisfaction, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how El Paso’s top companies ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for almost 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in El Paso, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer same-day or next-day service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service line.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: mosquitoes, ants, moths, bees, flies, spiders, cockroaches, bed bugs, crickets, and wasps. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control services vary in reputation, proficiency, and competence. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Possessing these credentials shows that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a professional from our list of the top pest control in El Paso, 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 providers that specialize in “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have compiled a list of a few top-rated pest management providers, reach out to each of them and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various types of pests in El Paso, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. To give you an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for pest control companies in El Paso are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. However, they need to be handled by a professional exterminator to ensure they’re used properly. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Many El Paso 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 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in El Paso, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
