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’s experts narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Conroe ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to rid your property of pests wherever they are.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they handle much more than just that. Their other services include: spiders, ticks, ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rodents, and wildlife control such as squirrels, skunks, opossums, raccoons, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. It has positive consumer reviews and trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Once the first treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X, which can provide individual services.
Rentokil can protect your home from the common pests in Conroe, including crickets, bees, flies, mosquitoes, wasps, bed bugs, spiders, ants, cockroaches, and moths. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Pest control services vary in credibility, expertise, and effectiveness. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from qualified industry groups, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Having the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. Also ask about regular training updates.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling 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 consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Conroe'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 natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need more effective traditional solutions. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will make another visit to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the initial treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have determined your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask these questions:
Carefully review potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Different pests come up in different places. In Conroe, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we reviewed online discussions and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire an exterminator depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. In addition, you may want to also look into professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Many Conroe homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for an estimate.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’re just interested in preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home 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.
