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:
Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, costs, state availability, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in East Hampton:
Terminix has 300 branches in more than 22 countries and has been in business for almost 100 years. It utilizes the latest technology in pest control to get rid of insects and unwanted wildlife no matter where you find them.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they exterminate much more than just that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, rodents, ticks, spiders, ants, cockroaches, and wildlife control including opossums, skunks, raccoons, squirrels, and more. In addition to pest control, Terminix provides services, such as attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, home disinfection services, and moisture control.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists need to undergo 160 hours of training. And, due to its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s most common pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. After the initial treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to check that the pests haven’t come back. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with branches across the globe and nearly a century of experience in the industry. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which provide tailored services.
Rentokil handles the common pests in East Hampton, including moths, cockroaches, flies, bed bugs, ants, crickets, mosquitoes, bees, wasps, and spiders. Rentokil’s services consist of preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are equal when it comes to reputation, proficiency, and effectiveness. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should clearly lay out its area of expertise.
The ideal pest management provider will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by groups like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials indicate that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to question each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Peruse 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 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 select a company from our list of the top pest control in East Hampton, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Search for providers offering “green” certifications if you want 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 traditional solutions might be a better option for major infestations. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control providers usually offer service warranties for continuing plans. The warranties mean that a company will make another visit to re-treat your home free of charge if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments might not include these reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few top contending pest control companies, reach out to each of them and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Assess potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to pick a qualified provider to effectively fix your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
There are a variety of pests in East Hampton, ranging from harmless bothers to ones that can damage your home. We generated a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were often posted about on social media.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have locations all around the country, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from returning.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a stray cockroach, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some infestations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many East Hampton 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 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
