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’s experts narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing customer reviews, state availability, costs, and more.
Here’s how the top companies 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. With the amount of experience the company has, you can see why Terminix is a top choice for many homeowners.
Terminix can help you with all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include opossums, rodents, roaches, raccoons, termites, ants, and spiders. Along with pest control, Terminix has services, including attic insulation, home disinfection services, mechanical exclusion, and moisture control.
With more than 100 years of experience, Orkin is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. In addition, due to its big network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Pests Orkin helps with are silverfish, ticks, hornets, yellow jackets, scorpions, centipedes, earwigs, bees, termites, cockroaches, and more. Orkin’s most common pest control service is also quarterly, so your home will be treated several times over the course of a year.
Rentokil is a respected name in pest control, with providers across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control providers in North America. These include Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil and its partners take care of the following pests: ants, wasps, spiders, cockroaches, moths, crickets, mosquitoes, bed bugs, flies, and bees. After the initial inspection and treatment of your property, a technician will treat your property every quarter.
Not all pest control services are the equal in reputation, experience, and proficiency. Evaluating companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like bed bugs, termites, roaches, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing 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). Having these credentials shows that the technicians have adequate training. Ask the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
We highly recommend looking at 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 for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask about the kind of ongoing education technicians receive to stay current on best pest control practices. When you select a provider from our list of Montvale's best pest control, 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 companies with “green” certifications. For larger pests like mice or snakes, 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 moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more effective traditional treatments. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control provides usually offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. This means that if pests remain after the initial treatment, the company will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is eliminated. One-time treatments may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected a few highly reviewed exterminator services, talk to each one and come prepared to ask these kinds of questions:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will enable you to choose the best provider to effectively handle your pest situation at a fair price.
Montvale is home to a number of pests, from wildlife to insects. Our team analyzed around 10 million online discussions to identify the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your home once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Pest control chemicals are safe but need to be handled by a professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you should stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a stray wasp, chances are you can take care of it on your own. But some pest infestations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Montvale homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually 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 providers for a quote.
We recommend quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For larger infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
