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 it down to these pest control companies by comparing costs, customer reviews, state availability, contracts, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Pests Orkin deals with are moths, carpenter ants, termites, bees, wasps, yellow jackets, spiders, scorpions, silverfish, crickets, and more. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurrent pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has almost a century’s worth of experience handling pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control companies like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will service your property every four months.
Not all pest control companies are the same when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing 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), on top of proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive ongoing regular training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you select a company from our list of Flower Mound'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 humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or squirrels in your attic. However, 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. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will make another visit and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the right provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Many types of pests end up finding their way into Flower Mound homes. Some are just harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing what pests were frequently mentioned on social media platforms.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service locations all around the country, and have been in the industry for several decades.
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. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do thorough research. We recommend getting estimates from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
In a city like Flower Mound, where the cost of living is very high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control varies depending on several factors, such as what kind of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
