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 companies, we compared several factors like customer service, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, coverage, and more.
This is how we ranked them:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. With this breadth of experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix helps with many types of pests in Robstown, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers other services, including home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, attic insulation, and moisture control.
Orkin Pest Control is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. It has excellent consumer reviews and skilled exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin deals with are yellow jackets, crickets, carpenter ants, rats, fleas, wasps, spiders, bees, centipedes, hornets, and more. Once the first treatment, your Orkin expert will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, representing hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control providers like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners control for the following pests: moths, ants, bed bugs, wasps, crickets, cockroaches, spiders, bees, flies, and mosquitoes. Rentokil’s services cover preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control businesses are the identical in credibility, qualifications, and capability. Evaluating businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that hold certifications from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself 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 continuing regular education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of Robstown'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" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider a more traditional route if dealing with a serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments might not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
There are various kinds of pests in Robstown, ranging from harmless annoyances to ones that can damage your home. We created a list of the most common pests in the city by examining what pests were often mentioned on social media.
The best pest control companies 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 house once every quarter or every two to three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
To find the best pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do diligent research. We recommend obtaining quotes from several companies and reading reviews to help determine which company is the right one for you.
Many Robstown homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically 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 getting in touch with several pest control providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high in the hotter part of the year. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
