“I have had the same Orkin man for 15 years. He is so pleasant and nice. He works around my schedule and does a good job for me. … I had normal bugs. It's an old house built in 1965 and I'm sure there are cracks and crannies that they can crawl in and then mosquitoes. You should use Orkin.”
Cordelia Dallas, TX
“They always notify me when they are going to be at my house and do a great job. They call me and keep me updated and are flexible to meet my needs. These folks are very helpful in my situation as I had swarm of camel crickets and were able to get rid of them.”

Common pest issues in Dallas

Dallas is a termite and fire ant battleground, and the summer heat can make the mosquitoes unbearable. Cockroaches are another constant problem, especially in older buildings with poor drainage. You might also have problems with gnats, silverfish and carpenter ants.

Pest control costs in Dallas

Dallas exterminator costs vary depending on the severity of your infestations. Expect to pay between $150 and $500 for a one-time service. However, fixing an extreme bedbug, rodent or termite infestation can cost $2,000 or more. About two-thirds of the homeowners who treated pests in the past year paid up to $1,000, and 30% spent up to $5,000, according to a ConsumerAffairs survey.

How to hire an exterminator in Dallas

You might handle small infestations yourself, but professional pest control is often necessary to solve the underlying problem and prevent pests from returning. Here are some hiring tips to make sure you hire a reputable company. You should also ask friends and neighbors for recommendations.

  • Read reviews: Look for companies with consistently positive feedback about technician expertise and treatment effectiveness. A few negative reviews are normal, but patterns of billing errors, bad communication or unmet expectations are red flags.
  • Check credentials: Exterminators often display license numbers on their websites, vehicles or marketing materials. You can confirm an exterminator or pest control company’s license through the Texas Department of Agriculture. We also suggest hiring companies with additional certifications through organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA).
  •  Ask questions: If you’re signing up for recurring treatments, make sure you understand the terms of the contract. You might also want to ask about organic and nontoxic treatments that use steam or heat rather than harsh chemicals, especially if you have children or pets. 

Pest problems need quick action

Minor issues like moths might seem harmless, but serious ones like rodents can threaten your family's safety and damage your property. About 12% of Americans have had to move out of their homes temporarily because of a pest issue, and 16% report experiencing health issues due to an infestation, ConsumerAffairs found.
