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 narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to rid your home of pests wherever they are.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they help with much more than that. Their other services include: ants, mosquitoes, ticks, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, and wildlife control including squirrels, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and more. Their service also includes follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
If you need immediate pest control service in Ennis, Orkin could be the company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. It has great consumer reviews and professional exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and draw up an appropriate treatment plan. Orkin can book regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has nearly a century’s worth of experience handling pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control companies like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
It exterminates 36 of the most common pests such as flies, spiders, moths, cockroaches, rats, mice, bed bugs, and more. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Pest control businesses vary in reputation, proficiency, and capability. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Before scheduling an appointment, browse 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 complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you choose a company from our list of Ennis' 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 providers that specialize in “green” accredited 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, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to pick the right provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Many types of pests can find their way into Ennis residences. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're well-respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
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 house.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but need to 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 — and how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some situations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Ennis homeowners are concerned 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Ennis, 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.
