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:

Pest control services vary in credibility, understanding, and skill. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
You should choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific 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 completed proper training. You'll also want to question each company about regular education updates for their employees.
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 Garland, 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 providers that specialize in “green” certified 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, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees 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.
After selecting your top exterminators, call each one with questions such as these:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will allow you to choose a qualified provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Garland is home to various pests, from wildlife to insects. So you can have an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on social media.
The top pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Garland 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 determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or even bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
