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:
When ranking these pest control providers, we compared factors including industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer service, coverage, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Kearny ranked:
Terminix is one of the biggest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with branches across the United States and 22 other countries. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, Watauga County Best of the Best, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix takes care of all types of pest problems for homeowners and business owners. These include ants, roaches, termites, spiders, rodents, raccoons, and opossums. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified pest control expert will take a look at your situation and give you a suitable control plan.
Orkin has been in the industry for over 100 years. It has great customer reviews and trained exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Pests Orkin handles includes termites, yellow jackets, wasps, cockroaches, mice, bees, earwigs, rats, moths, ticks, and more. Once the initial treatment, your Orkin exterminator will follow up to check that the pests haven’t returned. 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. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control specialist will focus on both eliminating existing pests and preventing future infestations. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Not all pest control businesses are the identical in reputation, experience, and competence. Researching providers helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
You should look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
Look for pest control companies that employ technicians with certifications in pest control methods from reputable industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to state licensing. Possessing the proper credentials shows that the technicians have received adequate training. You'll also want to ask about ongoing educational requirements.
Before booking an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a company from our list of Kearny's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that 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 raccoons nesting nearby. 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 stronger traditional methods. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will come back and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top pest management companies, contact each one to ask these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will help you select the best provider to safely and successfully resolve your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various kinds of pests in Kearny, ranging from harmless nuisances to disease-carrying insects. To give you an idea of the most widespread pests in the city, we analyzed the pests discussed in around 10 million social media posts.
The top pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for decades.
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. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from returning.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted insects like termites, rodents, and other unwanted bugs or wildlife from your property. When you hire a pest control company, a professional exterminator will do an inspection. Then they will use various techniques to get rid of the pests and stop them from coming back, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Kearny 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 figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest 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.
