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:
When ranking these pest control companies, we compared several factors such as types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, customer service, and more.
Here’s how Highland Village’s top companies ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and develop a suitable treatment plan. After your initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
It handles 36 of the most common pests such as bed bugs, moths, cockroaches, mice, rats, flies, spiders, and more. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control companies are equal when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. These credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Spend time perusing online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you confirm 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 continual training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of Highland Village's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers that have “green” certifications to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or squirrels. Keep in mind that traditional treatments might be a better option for major infestations. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home after the initial treatment. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest management companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to choose the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Highland Village, there are several that residents may deal with. For an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we analyzed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on social media.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to contact multiple companies and get estimates from them. You should also make sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Highland Village 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 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for an estimate.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly in Highland Village, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
