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 has narrowed down the top pest control companies to help you find the best provider for you. We analyzed contracts, customer reviews, state availability, pest control treatments offered, costs, and more.
Here’s how East Rutherford’s top providers ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses stay pest-free for over 90 years. The company offers state-of-the-art pest control treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix takes care of all types of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include spiders, roaches, raccoons, opossums, termites, rodents, and ants. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified technician will take a look at your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most reputable in the pest control industry. It has excellent customer reviews and well-trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and develop treatment plan. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several local pest control companies like J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: moths, bees, crickets, ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, mosquitoes, spiders, flies, and wasps. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property every four months.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and capability. It's important to do your research to determine the most suitable option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
It's best to choose a pest control company that has expertise handling your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should have clearly laid out its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing 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 the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
We advise reading customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and has happy customers. Also check for any Better Business Bureau 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 an exterminator from our list of East Rutherford's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for providers that specialize in “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. Keep in mind that natural options may be less effective for serious infestations, and if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical 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.
Leading pest control provides typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will come back and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is taken care of. One-time treatments may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have identified a few top contending pest control companies, have conversations with each one and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
East Rutherford is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. To help you prepare for the most common pests, we studied posts on social media and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
The best pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for several decades.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and other wildlife from coming inside your house.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and do diligent research. We recommend getting estimates from several companies and reading reviews to help figure out which company best fits your needs.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue wasp, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have an out-of-control infestation, you aren’t sure what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company, especially if you have young children.
Many East Rutherford homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 per 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 pest control companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will get much higher as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your home from getting too many pests later.
