Best Pest Control Companies in Kyle, TX

Termites: The presence of termites causes a significant threat to a property and can cause thousands of dollars in damages. Many companies offer termite inspections and continued monitoring and treatment if termites are present. Ideally, a professional should inspect a home each year for termites. Be on the lookout for rotted wood, mud tubes, discarded wings, and feces.

Rodents: Rodents live off of human waste, making them commonplace among any human settlement. Rodents such as mice and rats enter homes looking for food, warmth, and shelter. Rodents can be vectors for disease, are generally unclean, and their presence can cause psychological symptoms such as anxiety. Because they reproduce so rapidly, it can be challenging to eliminate rodents, but removing conditions that attract them will be crucial to your success.

Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes are a common pest all across Texas due to its’ warmer climate. Mosquitoes breed where there is standing water, so removing any from the property will go a long towards preventing mosquito activity. Professional mosquito treatments are available during the warm spring and summer months when activity reaches its peak.

Ants: While most ants in Texas are simply nuisance pests, some species pose some threat. Fire ants have a painful bite, and carpenter ants can cause thousands of dollars in damages, much like termites. The difficulty in eliminating ants is reaching the colony, which is usually safely hidden in a wall void.

Bed Bugs: Bed bugs are one of the most difficult pests to eliminate, and we highly recommend that you seek professional treatment when dealing with a bed bug infestation. Although bed bugs are not known to spread disease, their bites can be itchy and painful, and their presence can also lead to psychological stress and lack of sleep.

Pest control services will have an average cost of $134. You should expect to pay somewhere in the $92 – $180 range for most pests, depending on the property. However, more complex issues like termite control or bed bugs will cost significantly more.

Confirm which type of pests each company covers: Some companies do not offer to treat more complex pests, while others specialize in a few key areas. Make sure that your company covers the pest you deal with or wish to prevent.

Read and compare company reviews: Online reviews can offer you valuable insight into how a company operates. Look for patterns in how they handle customer concerns and manage pests.

Look at what guarantees and warranty the company offers: The industry-standard warranty is to re-service a property for free between regularly scheduled visits if pest problems persist or a new issue (covered by your service) arises. Anything less than this is not a good warranty.

Compare cost and service plans: Most companies will offer a year-round protection plan covering various basic pests or specific plans for specialty pests such as termites or bed bugs. Typically, a one-time service is not in your best interest as a customer.

Terminix: Terminix offers a holistic approach that incorporates EPA-approved treatments, prevention, and mechanical control methods.

Orkin: Orkin treatments are on the front line of scientific knowledge regarding pest control, making their treatments some of the safest available.

Aptive Environmental: Aptive Environmental uses only the highest quality and environmentally friendly products for their services.
