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:
Today's Homeowner has narrowed down the top pest control experts so you can find the best provider for you. We assessed pest control treatments offered, contracts, state availability, costs, customer reviews, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Waxahachie:

Pest control companies aren't all the same when it comes to reputation, understanding, and effectiveness. It’s important to research providers to find the right one for your specific issue. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
It's best to choose a pest control company that can effectively address your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials indicates that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive consistent training to stay current on the most up-to-date pest control methods. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in Waxahachie, 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 companies with “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 major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more potent traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, 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 return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have found your top exterminators, contact each one to ask these questions:
Analyze potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Waxahachie is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. We analyzed around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the most common pests infesting local homes.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue wasp, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Waxahachie homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
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 problem is resolved.
