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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by comparing pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, contracts, customer reviews, and more.
This is how the top companies in Haltom City ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. Terminix has received numerous awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they handle much more than that. Their other services include: ticks, rodents, mosquitoes, spiders, cockroaches, ants, and wildlife control including skunks, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, and more. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, with three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists have to complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify problem pests and areas and develop treatment plan. After your first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience. The company provides professional pest control solutions for homeowners and business owners. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: crickets, bed bugs, bees, flies, spiders, mosquitoes, ants, moths, wasps, and cockroaches. Depending on where you live, Rentokil and its partners may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control providers aren't all the same when it comes to credibility, understanding, and competence. It’s important to research services to find the right one for your specific issue. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
It's best to choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing 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). Having these credentials shows that a technician has adequate training. Ask the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Haltom City, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask 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 if dealing with a serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified your top exterminators, reach out to each one to ask these questions:
Evaluate potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Haltom City is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we studied online discussions and compiled a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat 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 quarter. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to consider factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Haltom City 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 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
