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 best pest control experts to help you find the best provider for you. We assessed pest control treatments offered, state availability, customer reviews, contracts, costs, and more.
Here’s how they 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. The company provides professional pest control services that are safe for your family.
Terminix is widely known for its specialty termite services, but they help with much more than just that. Their other services include: rodents, ticks, cockroaches, mosquitoes, spiders, ants, and wildlife control including raccoons, opossums, skunks, squirrels, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix offers services, like attic insulation, moisture control, home disinfection services, and mechanical exclusion.
Orkin Pest Control’s headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the oldest pest control companies with a large network of branches. Its pest control specialists undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, due to its large network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin’s most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each contract with Orkin comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your technician will return for another visit.
Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides professional pest control solutions all around the world. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: flies, cockroaches, spiders, bed bugs, ants, wasps, mosquitoes, moths, crickets, and bees. Rentokil’s treatments are safe for your pets and children.
Pest control providers aren't all equal when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and competence. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has experience handling the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of 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 completed proper training. You'll also want to inquire with each company about regular education updates for their employees.
Before scheduling an appointment, take the time to read 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 complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask about ongoing training at the company as well as how its technicians stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a company from our list of Marlboro'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 natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions, look for providers that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or raccoons nesting in trees, you can also ask about humane catch and release methods. 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, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, talk to each one and be prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to hire the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
It's important to know which pests you might encounter as a resident of Marlboro. To give you an idea of the most prevalent pests in the city, we examined the pests discussed in around 10 million posts on various social media sites.
The best pest control companies are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, have many locations, and have been in business for several decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your home once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
The key to finding the best exterminator for you is to get in touch with several companies and get estimates from them. You should also be sure you read reviews to check their reputation and customer satisfaction.
Many Marlboro 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
