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:
The team at Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the top pest control experts to help you find the best provider for you. We analyzed costs, customer reviews, contracts, state availability, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and oldest pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. With the amount of experience the company has, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Humble, and if you aren’t satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Terminix’s typical pest regimen consists of a home inspection and initial treatment, with three seasonal treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its pest control specialists must complete 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its big network, it can often offer next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin handles many common pests, such as spiders, silverfish, ants, and cockroaches. Orkin can set up 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.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to 100 years’ worth of experience exterminating pests. The global brand owns the North American pest control companies J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Humble, including spiders, crickets, bed bugs, bees, ants, mosquitoes, flies, moths, cockroaches, and wasps. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control companies are equal when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
You should choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have finished proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Humble's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for companies 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. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top pest management services, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to hire the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
A variety of pests find their way into Humble houses. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and carry diseases. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were often mentioned on social media platforms.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Humble are Terminix and Orkin. They're 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 animals from coming inside your house.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they need to be handled by a trained 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 typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be as much as 24 hours.
Many Humble homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
