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:
The Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control providers by considering factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, coverage, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. It utilizes the latest pest control techniques to rid your home of insects and unwanted wildlife anywhere you see them.
Terminix has both one-off extermination services and seasonal pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix has other services, like mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, attic insulation, and moisture control.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the longest-running pest control companies with a expansive network of branches. It has excellent customer reviews and professional pest control specialists who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify issues and draw up a suitable treatment plan. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your technician will come back for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners exterminate common pests for over 90 years. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: mosquitoes, wasps, bed bugs, bees, flies, crickets, spiders, cockroaches, ants, and moths. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control services are equal when it comes to credibility, qualifications, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the ideal option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. The company should explain their process for treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed proper training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
We advise checking out customer reviews prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and other sites will show whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a provider from our list of Piscataway'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 significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need stronger traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control companies usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments typically don't include these reservice warranties.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the most qualified provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
Different pests come up in different locations. In Piscataway, there are several that residents have to deal with. To help you identify the most problematic pests, we studied social media conversations and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They can treat all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in business for decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to contact multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Pest control involves removing unwanted insects like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your property. When you hire a pest control company, an exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various methods to remove the pests and prevent them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Piscataway 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 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
