The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
Here’s how the top companies in Livingston ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries worldwide. It has also been in the industry for nearly 100 years.

Pest control services vary in reputation, expertise, and capability. It's important to research companies to find the right fit for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
Choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly describe on their website its expertise with your specific pest.
When selecting a pest control company, 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). Having these credentials indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of Livingston's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for companies with “green” accreditations to get more natural, eco-friendly pest control. You can also ask about humane trapping programs that don't harm pests like mice or snakes. Keep in mind that more potent methods might be a better option for major infestations. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat for free if your home still has pests after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
After selecting your top pest control companies, reach out to each one and ask questions such as these:
Carefully review potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Different pests come up in different locations. In Livingston, there are several that residents may deal with. Our experts examined around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, service locations all around the nation, and have been in the industry for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire an exterminator depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, how much the pest control will cost, and the size of the infestation. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about your young children.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted insects or animals that have infested a home. Pest control also includes preventative measures that help stop those pests from coming back, which can happen at any point in a warm place like Livingston.
Many Livingston homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly in Livingston, where the heat can make pests more prevalent. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
