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 best pest control experts so you can find the best provider for you. We analyzed contracts, state availability, costs, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Nederland:
Terminix has several hundred branches in over 22 countries and has been in business for over 90 years. It uses the latest innovations in pest control to get rid of pests no matter where they are.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Nederland, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Because of its vast network, Orkin can provide next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin offers a professional property inspection to identify potential problems and develop a suitable treatment plan. After your initial visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: moths, mosquitoes, bees, spiders, cockroaches, crickets, bed bugs, flies, wasps, and ants. Rentokil’s services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control companies are the same in credibility, background, and capability. Researching businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like termites, bed bugs, roaches, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials indicate that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Look through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a professional from our list of Nederland's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” accreditations if you want more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about gentle catch and release methods for larger animals like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that traditional methods might be a better option for significant infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will come back to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
After picking your top pest control companies, reach out to each one with questions such as these:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Pests vary by location. In Nederland, there are a few different ones that residents have to deal with. We came up with a list of the most common pests in the city by examining which pests were often mentioned on social media.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, have many locations, 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 two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Nederland homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several providers for an estimate.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will grow much larger when it's hotter, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
