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:
We narrowed down the top pest control providers by looking at factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, industry experience, coverage, and more.
Here’s how Bloomfield’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. The company provides professional pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix offers both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. Plus, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. In addition to pest control, Terminix offers services, such as home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, moisture control, and attic insulation.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Because of its vast network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin can protect your property from many common pests, such as silverfish, ants, cockroaches, and spiders. After the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can assist.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with branches across the globe and nearly a century of experience in the industry. The brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both exterminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control businesses are the identical in reputation, experience, and proficiency. Evaluating companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's termites, bed bugs, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
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). Obtaining these credentials shows that a technician has adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews 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 ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of Bloomfield'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” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers humane trapping and relocation. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more effective traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home at no cost until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to your top exterminators, contact each one and ask questions such as:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose a qualified provider to effectively solve your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Bloomfield is home to several pests, from wildlife to insects. We reviewed around 10 million posts on social media to determine the most common pests in the city.
The best pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property regularly is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your home.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — and how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
Many Bloomfield 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
