Founded in 2017, Anthem Pest provides eco-friendly pest control solutions to homeowners in Georgia and Texas. The pest control company advertises fast service, usually within 24 hours of the initial request, and will customize its seasonal solutions depending on the specific needs of the customer as well as the types of unwanted pests that may attempt to enter their home. Anthem Pest guarantees all its work will be 100 percent satisfactory, or the service is free.
Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- NPMA Membership
- Free Initial Quote
- Member Benefits
- Free Reservice
NPMA Membership
Anthem Pest is a member of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), an industry-recognized nonprofit that promotes best practices within pest control by providing professional development, asset management, and certification programs. Although Anthem Pest has not disclosed whether its technicians have been certified in the NPMA’s QualityPro or GreenPro programs, membership alone goes a long way toward improving the way Anthem conducts business and client relations, as well as in the use of pet-safe and children-safe insecticides and products.
Free Initial Quote
Anthem Pest provides a free initial quote on all services. If the customer agrees to services, a licensed Anthem Pest exterminator will treat both the inside and the outside of the home. Following this initial visit, Anthem will return for quarterly inspections and re-treatments, customizing each treatment for the following common household pests:
- Spring — Cockroaches, spiders, and ants
- Summer — Wasps, ants, stinging insects, ticks, and house crickets
- Fall — Spiders, rats, and mice
- Winter — Spiders, earwigs, mice, and rats
The company also provides specialized pest control services for silverfish, bed bugs, rodents, beetles, fleas, and other critters.
Member Benefits
Anthem wants to make the pest control process as easy and straightforward as possible for its customers, and this mentality affects every step. For example, current customers who prepay their annual subscription (advertised at around $1 per day) through Anthem Pest’s online portal will receive a 5 percent discount on the retail price.
After the first year of service, Anthem customers will continue to receive as-needed spot treatment in and around their homes, as well as gain exclusive access to monthly promotions.
Free Reservice
As part of the company’s 100 percent satisfaction guarantee, Anthem Pest offers free unlimited re-treatments in the event that customers are not completely satisfied, or if an unexpected infestation occurs between seasonal applications.
The Bad
- No Additional Services
- No Termite Control
- Limited Availability
No Additional Services
Unfortunately, Anthem’s services are limited to pest control for insects and rodents. The company does not appear to provide customers with wildlife management, control, or removal services, lawn care services, or attic and crawl space inspection or repair. Leading players in the pest control industry like Terminix, provide comprehensive services inside and out.
No Termite Control
The company does not appear to control for termite infestation problems, which can sometimes result in hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in home and property damage.
Limited Availability
Anthem Pest is only available in select cities in Georgia and Texas, namely the greater Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston metros and surrounding areas. Although these areas comprise more than 340 cities, this limited services area can still put Anthem Pest at a disadvantage when compared with nationally recognized brands. One way to level the playing field is through leveraging verified Anthem Pest reviews from actual customers.
The Bottom Line
With more than 30 combined years of experience in the pest control industry, Anthem Pest could be a great solution for homeowners living in the greater Atlanta, Dallas, or Houston metropolitan areas. The company provides competitive prices by industry standards, and its association with the NPMA implies its drive to provide excellent, safe, services. If customers are looking for help with anything beyond general pest control (e.g. wildlife management, insect damage, lawn maintenance, etc.), they should look elsewhere.
