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 providers, we considered factors such as customer service, coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how we ranked them:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control industry experience. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, Watauga County Best of the Best, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix handles all types of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include roaches, rodents, raccoons, opossums, spiders, ants, and termites. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin deals with includes rats, fleas, spiders, yellow jackets, cockroaches, ticks, flies, crickets, bees, carpenter ants, and more. Orkin can book 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.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of industry experience. The company provides expert pest control treatments all around the world. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control companies like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Keller, including bed bugs, crickets, bees, flies, ants, moths, mosquitoes, spiders, cockroaches, and wasps. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control services aren't all equal when it comes to credibility, understanding, and effectiveness. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that primarily handles the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback 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 ongoing education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of the top pest control in Keller, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest management companies, reach out to each one to ask these 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 reviewed around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the most common pests invading local homes.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every quarter or every two to three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Pest control involves getting rid of 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 typically costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
