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 narrowed it down to these pest control providers by analyzing customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, state availability, contracts, costs, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix has several hundred branches in more than 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for almost 100 years. With this breadth of experience, you can see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix’s specialty is termites, but they deal with much more than that. Their other services include: rodents, cockroaches, mosquitoes, spiders, ants, ticks, and wildlife control including opossums, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and more. Along with pest control, Terminix provides other services, including moisture control, attic insulation, mechanical exclusion, and home disinfection services.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trusted in the pest control industry. Due to its large network, Orkin can offer next-day, or sometimes even same-day, service.
Orkin will send a pest control expert to inspect your property to identify issues and develop treatment plan. Each contract comes with a 30-day guarantee. If initial treatments are ineffective, your exterminator will return for another visit.
Rentokil, a business service group, is the world's largest and most widely recognized pest control company, which owns hundreds of brands worldwide. The large brand owns the North American pest control providers Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, focusing on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. The company has a satisfaction guarantee for its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will visit again until the issue is resolved.
Not all pest control providers are the identical in reputation, qualifications, and competence. Vetting businesses helps you identify the right choice for your pest situation. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control provider:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's rodents, roaches, bed bugs, termites, or something else. The company should thoroughly describe on their website its area of expertise.
When selecting 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 demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Ask the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Read online reviews on Google and Yelp before committing to a pest control provider. This can help you confirm whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive ongoing regular training to stay current on the most recent pest control methods. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Succasunna, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for services that use “green” accredited solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or raccoons nesting nearby. However, natural options may be less effective for serious infestations; if you’re dealing with a major pest problem you may need more potent chemical treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk must be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat at no cost if you still have pests in your home after the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have found your top exterminators, reach out to each one with these questions:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively resolve your pest problem at a reasonable price.
You should be aware of the pests you might see as a resident of Succasunna. We analyzed around 10 million social media posts to determine the most common pests in the city.
The top pest control providers are Orkin and Terminix. They can treat all common pests, have many locations, and have been in the industry for a long time.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is getting a pest control company to come to your house once every two or three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
Pest control chemicals are safe but must 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 need to stay out of your house after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Typically, you should stay away from your home for two to four hours after spraying.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take your time and research your options thoroughly. We recommend obtaining estimates from multiple companies and looking at reviews to help figure out which company is the right one for you.
In a town like Succasunna, where the cost of living is really high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs varies based on several factors, including what kind of pests are infesting your home and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is typically cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
For apartments and homes, quarterly or bi-monthly pest control treatments are advisable. If you have a more serious infestation, on the other hand, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the issue is resolved.
