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 has narrowed down the best pest control companies so you can find the best provider for you. We assessed pest control treatments offered, state availability, contracts, customer reviews, costs, and more.
This is how we ranked the top pest control companies in Readington:
Terminix ranks in the top four pest control companies in the world, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. The company offers state-of-the-art pest control services that are safe for your family and pets.
Terminix’s specialty termite services are their most widely known service, but they exterminate much more than just that. Their other services include: rodents, ticks, cockroaches, ants, spiders, mosquitoes, and wildlife control including skunks, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, and more. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections for guaranteed results.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most trustworthy pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators complete 160 hours of training. Plus, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s most popular pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you end up with recurring pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Founded in 1925, Rentokil has close to 100 years’ worth of experience protecting residents from pests. Rentokil is the parent company of several North American pest control providers such as Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil handles the common pests in Readington, including mosquitoes, flies, bed bugs, bees, crickets, cockroaches, moths, ants, spiders, and wasps. Rentokil’s treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control companies aren't all identical when it comes to reputation, qualifications, and effectiveness. It’s important to research businesses to find the right one for your specific situation. Here are the key factors to consider when hiring a pest control company:
You should look for a pest control company that focuses their business on the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should describe how they go about treating your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials indicate that the technicians have completed proper training. Also inquire about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to booking a pest control appointment. Ensure by reading reviews that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check for any Better Business Bureau complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive ongoing education on the newest and most advanced pest control treatments. When you choose a provider from our list of Readington'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 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 potent traditional methods. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you select the most qualified provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
It's important to be aware of the pests you might see in Readington. Our team analyzed around 10 million social media conversations to uncover the pests that pose the most problems in the area.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They help with all common pests, service locations nationwide, and have been in the industry for decades.
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 other wildlife from coming inside your house.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like the size of the infestation, what chemicals need to be used, and how much the pest control will cost. In addition, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about safety or pets.
Pest control involves exterminating unwanted insects like bees, fleas, and other unwanted bugs or animals from your home. When you hire a pest control company, a professional will come and inspect your property. Then they will use various techniques to get rid of the pests and stop them from returning, such as chemical or natural sprays, bait, and traps.
Many Readington 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 getting in touch with several pest control providers for a quote.
We advise quarterly pest control treatments, or even bi-monthly if needed. For more serious infestations, your exterminator may recommend monthly treatments for the first three to six months.
