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 companies by comparing factors like types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, coverage, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how the top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of pest control experience. The company provides effective pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they exterminate much more than that. Their other services include: spiders, cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, rodents, ticks, and wildlife control including opossums, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen consists of a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has grown to be one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Its exterminators have to undergo 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin handles many common pests, such as cockroaches, silverfish, spiders, and ants. After your initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have stayed away for good. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control providers like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Hazlet, including bed bugs, mosquitoes, ants, spiders, moths, wasps, bees, crickets, flies, and cockroaches. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control businesses vary in reputation, expertise, and capability. It's important to research providers to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to explain their approach for treating your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies with technicians that have certifications in pest control methods from expert organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Holding the proper credentials indicates that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about regular training updates.
We advise checking out customer reviews before scheduling a pest control appointment. Google, Yelp, and similar sites can tell you whether a company consistently provides quality service and a good customer experience. 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 an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Hazlet, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers offering “green” certifications. 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 considerable pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control companies typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. The guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat at no cost if your home still has pests following the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with 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 types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the best provider to safely and successfully get rid of your pest problem at a fair price.
Which pests you see depends on where you live. In Hazlet, there are several that residents have to deal with. Our experts examined around 10 million social media conversations to pinpoint the pests that create the most issues in the area.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They cover all common pests, service many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
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 other wildlife from coming inside your house.
For the most part, the chemicals used in pest control are safe. That being said, they must be handled by a professional exterminator to ensure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like how much the pest control will cost, the size of the infestation, and what chemicals need to be used. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Hazlet 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 a visit. To find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
