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:
We narrowed it down to these pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, costs, contracts, and more.
This is how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been assisting homeowners with staying pest-free for over 90 years. The company offers effective pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists need to undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin handles includes bees, bed bugs, scorpions, yellow jackets, rats, crickets, ticks, spiders, mice, hornets, and more. Each contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control providers like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
It protects from 36 of the most common pests such as bed bugs, cockroaches, rats, flies, spiders, mice, moths, and more. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to credibility, expertise, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
You should 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 have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about ongoing educational requirements.
We suggest reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you choose an exterminator from our list of Keller'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 providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release methods. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit 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 selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, reach out to each of them and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
You should be aware of the pests you could encounter while living in Keller. We analyzed around 10 million social media posts to uncover the most common pests plaguing local homes.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for 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 animals from returning.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted bugs like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various methods to get rid of the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Keller 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 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Keller, where pests can crop up more frequently because of the heat. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
