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 comparing factors like customer satisfaction, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
Here’s how North Hempstead’s top providers ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control business. With this experience, it’s easy to see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they handle much more than that. Their other services include: ticks, spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants, rodents, and wildlife control such as skunks, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, and more. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and detail a suitable control plan.
If you need immediate pest control service in North Hempstead, Orkin could be a good company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Due to its vast network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Orkin’s most common pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Each contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your pest control specialist will return for another visit.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to a century’s worth of experience handling pests. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control providers like Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in North Hempstead, including wasps, crickets, bees, bed bugs, spiders, moths, mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches, and flies. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will return to your property every quarter.
Pest control companies vary in reputation, expertise, and skill. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials shows that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you choose a company from our list of the top pest control in North Hempstead, 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 companies that promote “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, contact each one to ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In North Hempstead, there are several that residents have to deal with. Our experts studied around 10 million social media posts to uncover the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They're highly regarded in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend getting estimates from several companies and reading through reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many North Hempstead homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 per visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
