Whether you need a one-off call-out to deal with a pest infestation, or a regular service plan, it’s important that the pest control company you choose be available and affordable. This means that you should consider whether they offer flexible payment plans and the option to add on additional services (such as weed control, bird nest removal or termite prevention) to your initial treatment.

The size of your home, how many 911 Exterminators and bathrooms it has and the severity of the pest problem will all impact the type of treatments and price you’ll receive from a pest control company. During an initial phone call or survey, expect a representative to ask for these details and then provide you with an estimate.

Rodent Control 101: Insights from a Professional Pest Removal Company

Most pest control companies will treat a wide range of pests, including ants, rodents and cockroaches. However, if you’re dealing with particularly challenging or difficult to remove pests, like bed bugs or termites, it’s best to find a company that specializes in these areas.

Terminix, for example, operates in 300 locations across the country and has some of the strongest terms and conditions for their services, such as a 30-day money-back guarantee on termite work and free re-treatments between visits for bed bugs. They also have a good track record for customer reviews, although their reputation has suffered slightly due to COVID-19 lockdowns. Another well-regarded pest control company is Aptive, which offers environmentally conscious solutions and has a very quick turnaround on quotes.
