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 experts so you can find the best provider for you. We considered contracts, costs, state availability, customer reviews, pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how they ranked:
Terminix is one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. Terminix has received multiple awards for its service, including Pest Control Technology Magazine’s Top 100 Pest Control Companies, The Business Journal’s FAST 50, and Triad's Best Exterminator.
Terminix has both one-time extermination services and routine pest control. In addition, every contract comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and outline a suitable control plan.
If you need fast pest control service in Trenton, Orkin could be the right company for you. Since 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its pest control specialists have to undergo 160 hours of training. Additionally, due to its big network, it can usually provide next-day — or even same-day — service.
Orkin’s typical pest control service plan is its annual pest control contract. Orkin can schedule regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring pest problems or any other urgent pest control needs, you can contact a customer service representative.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the world and almost a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of several regional pest control companies like Western Exterminator, J.C. Ehrlich, and Presto-X.
Rentokil exterminates the common pests in Trenton, including cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, bees, crickets, wasps, moths, bed bugs, ants, and flies. The company guarantees satisfaction with its treatments. If you still have pests after service, Rentokil will make as many visits as needed to resolve the issue.
Pest control providers aren't all the same when it comes to credibility, understanding, and capability. It’s important to research companies to find the right one for your specific issue. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
Choose a pest control company that is equipped to handle your specific problem, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its expertise with your specific pest.
When choosing a pest control provider, look for technicians that have the proper state licensing and are certified in pest control methods by industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Obtaining these credentials demonstrates that the technicians have adequate training. Inquire with the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Before scheduling an appointment, spend time reading online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to see which providers have a proven track record of providing positive experiences and effective services. Also check for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on current pest control best practices. When you select a provider from our list of Trenton's best pest control, 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” certified solutions. You can also ask about humane catch and release methods for larger pests like mice or other burrowing rodents. Keep in mind that 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. No matter your approach to pest control, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Quality pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean the provider will make another visit and re-treat for free if you still have pests in your home following the initial visit. One-time treatments don't typically include reservice guarantees.
Once you have selected your top pest control providers, reach out to each one to ask questions such as:
Thoroughly evaluate potential pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the right provider to safely and effectively eliminate your pest problem at a reasonable price.
Trenton is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. We came up with a list of the most common pests in the city by analyzing which pests were often posted about on social media sites.
The top pest control providers are Terminix and Orkin. They help with all common pests, have locations nationwide, and have been in business for decades.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Spraying your property regularly will stop insects and animals from coming back.
Chemicals used in pest control are safe but must be handled by a professional. If you have any questions about the safety of the chemicals — such as if they're safe around children and pets — or are wondering how long you have to stay out of your home after using them, you can ask the exterminator. Generally, you should remain outside your home for two to four hours after spraying.
In a city like Trenton, where the cost of living is very high compared to other cities, the cost of pest control is most likely a concern. How much pest control costs depends on several factors, including what kind of pests you have an issue with and how bad the infestation is. A single visit can cost between $300 and $500, while a quarterly treatment plan is usually cheaper — around $100 to $300 a visit.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional spray your house is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or any other season and see effective results.
