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 companies so you can find the right provider for you. We considered state availability, pest control treatments offered, contracts, costs, customer reviews, and more.
Here’s how Phillipsburg’s top companies ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries globally. It has also been in business for nearly 100 years. Terminix has received several awards for its service, including Angie's List Super Service Award 2017, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and NCPMA’s Technician of the Year.
Terminix handles all kinds of pest problems for residential and commercial customers. These include ants, opossums, rodents, raccoons, termites, roaches, and spiders. Terminix will inspect your home for free. A qualified pest control expert will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
If you need immediate pest control service in Phillipsburg, consider Orkin. Since 1901, Orkin has grown to be one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators must complete 160 hours of training. In addition, because of its large network, it can often provide next-day — or even same-day — visits.
Orkin’s most popular pest control plan is its annual pest control contract. Each scheduled service comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your pest problem isn't handled, your pest control specialist will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest pest control company, which is comprised of hundreds of brands worldwide. This large service group is the parent company of several top regional pest control companies in North America. These include J.C. Ehrlich, Western Exterminator, and Presto-X.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of existing pests and preventing future infestations. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control providers are the same when it comes to credibility, knowledge, and competence. It's important to do your research to determine the right option for your specific pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that is able to handle 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 control company will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by organizations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials show that the technicians have received proper training. You'll also want to question each company about continuing training for their employees.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before booking a pest control appointment. Confirm through customer feedback that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive consistent education on the most cutting-edge pest control treatments. When you select a provider from our list of Phillipsburg'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 providers offering “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or snakes, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. Bear in mind natural options may not work as well for significant infestations. If you have a moderate to serious pest problem, you may need more effective traditional methods. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest management companies, contact each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively manage your pest situation at a fair price.
Pests vary by location. In Phillipsburg, there are several that residents may deal with. We examined around 10 million posts on social media to uncover the most common pests infesting local homes.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They cover all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in business for a long time.
Hiring a pest control company and getting a professional to spray your property routinely is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your house.
Whether you should do DIY pest control or hire a company depends on your situation. You’ll want to consider factors like the size of the infestation, what chemicals need to be used, and how much the pest control will cost. Additionally, you may want to also consider professional pest control if you're concerned about safety.
Many Phillipsburg 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 a 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, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments over the course of the first three to six months.
