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:
The team at Today's Homeowner narrowed down the top pest control companies by comparing factors like coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, industry experience, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Paramus:
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for you and your family.
Terminix exterminates all types of pest issues for residential and commercial customers. These include termites, rodents, raccoons, opossums, spiders, roaches, and ants. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified exterminator will take a look at your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Founded in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has become one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. Its exterminators undergo 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its big network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify potential problems and develop treatment plan. Each pest control contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners remove common pests for over 90 years. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Paramus, including spiders, ants, bed bugs, flies, wasps, crickets, cockroaches, moths, bees, and mosquitoes. Depending on your location, the pest control company may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control companies are the equal in credibility, background, and proficiency. Vetting companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest issue. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should be able to describe how they treat your type of pest.
The ideal pest control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations 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 ongoing education for their employees.
We advise reading customer reviews prior to 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 the latest pest control techniques and treatment methods. When you select a professional from our list of Paramus' 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 providers offering “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for major infestations. If you have a substantial pest problem, you may need stronger traditional solutions. No matter your approach to pest control, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will make another visit and re-treat your home at no cost if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
After picking your top pest control companies, call each one with questions such as these:
Analyze potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively get rid of your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Paramus is home to several pests, from insects to wildlife. We reviewed around 10 million social media posts to uncover the most common pests plaguing local homes.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known in the industry and cover all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
Chemicals used in pest control 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 — and how long you need to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
A pest control company exterminates unwanted insects or animals that have infested your home. Pest control also includes preventative measures taken to help stop those pests from returning, which can happen at any point in Paramus, but usually during the warm summers.
Many Paramus homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious pest infestation, you should seek pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your house is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
