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 customer satisfaction, industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Hoboken’s top providers ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they take care of much more than that. Their other services include: mosquitoes, cockroaches, rodents, ants, spiders, ticks, and wildlife control including opossums, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, and more. Terminix’s general pest regimen includes a home inspection and preliminary treatment, followed by three seasonal treatments during the year.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Its exterminators need to complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and develop an appropriate treatment plan. After your initial visit, your pest control specialist will follow up regularly to ensure that the pests have not returned. If they have, your local technicians can help
Rentokil, a service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which is made up of hundreds of brands worldwide. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control companies like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Hoboken, including spiders, ants, cockroaches, bed bugs, moths, crickets, bees, wasps, flies, and mosquitoes. Depending on the city, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Pest control businesses aren't all equal when it comes to reputation, knowledge, and competence. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific circumstance. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control provider:
It's best to choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
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 inquire with each company about ongoing education for their employees.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and a positive customer experience. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you select a company from our list of Hoboken's best pest control, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Keep 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) must be registered with the EPA.
Reputable pest control professionals usually offer service guarantees for continuing plans. The guarantees mean that a provider will return to re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-off treatments may not include these reservice warranties.
Once you have identified a few top-rated pest management providers, have conversations with each one and come prepared to ask these types of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly assess pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select a qualified provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
You should know which pests you might encounter as a resident of Hoboken. Our experts reviewed around 10 million social media conversations to determine the pests that create the most issues in the area.
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.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control 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 young children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
In a city like Hoboken, where the cost of living is remarkably high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. The cost of pest control depends on several factors, such as what kind of pests are troubling you and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, but a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may need to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
