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:
Our team at Today's Homeowner narrowed it down to these pest control providers by comparing pest control treatments offered, contracts, state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how the top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. With this experience, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix treats dozens of pests in Pampa, and if you’re not 100% satisfied with the service you receive 30 days after treatment, you can get a refund. Along with pest control, Terminix offers services, such as moisture control, home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, and attic insulation.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Because of its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Pests Orkin helps with are rats, yellow jackets, crickets, silverfish, spiders, fleas, bed bugs, flies, moths, cockroaches, and more. After the first visit, your technician will follow up regularly to make sure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can assist
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control branches like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: flies, bees, cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, spiders, moths, crickets, wasps, and bed bugs. After the initial inspection of your home, a technician will treat your property every quarter.
Not all pest control businesses are identical when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal pest control company 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 finished proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
We suggest looking at customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a professional from our list of Pampa's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations. If you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need stronger traditional methods. 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 professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a provider will come back to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the most qualified provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In Pampa, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. To help you prepare for the most problematic pests, we reviewed posts on social media and put together a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, service many locations, and have been in business for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals are safe but have to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Pampa homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your home is in the spring before nest and 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 any other season and see effective results.
