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 largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches across the United States and 22 other countries. 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 provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pest problems after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control companies are the equal in reputation, experience, and capability. Researching companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
When selecting a pest control company, look for technicians that are licensed by the state and certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials indicates 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 highly recommend looking at customer reviews prior to 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 the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of continuing education technicians receive to stay current on the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a company from our list of East Rutherford'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 more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or squirrels invading your attic, you can also ask about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective. You may need to consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to 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 there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not include reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, contact each one and ask questions such as these:
Review potential pest control companies based on their answers to these questions. This will enable you to choose the best provider to effectively take care of your pest problem at a reasonable cost.
Pests vary by location. In East Rutherford, there are a few different ones that residents may deal with. To give you an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we reviewed the pests talked about in around 10 million posts on social media.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well-respected in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property once every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
The key to finding the right pest control company for you is to get in touch with multiple companies and get quotes from them. You should also be sure to read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
There are some pests you can control yourself. For example, if you see some ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some cases warrant calling the professionals. If you have a large 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 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get 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 nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
