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:
We narrowed down the top pest control providers by looking at factors like customer satisfaction, industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, and more.
Here’s how Binghamton’s top companies ranked:
Founded in 1927, Terminix has almost 100 years of experience in the pest control industry. It uses the latest technology in pest control to get rid of insects and unwanted wildlife wherever they are.
Terminix can help you with all kinds of pest issues for homeowners and business owners. These include spiders, roaches, termites, raccoons, ants, opossums, and rodents. Terminix’s typical pest regimen includes a home inspection and initial treatment, with three additional treatments over the course of a year.
Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in the industry and is one of the most reputable pest control companies in the country. Due to its large network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.
Pests Orkin helps with are crickets, moths, silverfish, centipedes, mice, earwigs, bees, termites, wasps, spiders, and more. Orkin’s most common pest control service is also quarterly, meaning your home will be treated several times during the year.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners and business owners rid themselves of common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich, which can provide tailored services.
It exterminates 36 of the most common pests including mice, bed bugs, spiders, moths, flies, rats, cockroaches, and more. Its services include preventative maintenance, treatment, and monitoring for pest infestations.
Not all pest control services are the same in credibility, qualifications, and proficiency. Evaluating services helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that can address the type of pest you have, whether it’s roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should be able to provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, 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 indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about its policies for continuing education and the total training hours required for technicians.
Read through reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites prior to scheduling 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 professional from our list of the top pest control in Binghamton, 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 providers offering “green” accreditation. For larger pests like mice or squirrels, ask if a provider offers gentle catch and release programs. But keep 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 potent traditional treatments. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides that are classified as greater than minimal risk are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control companies normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will return and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't come with reservice guarantees.
After choosing your top exterminators, contact each one with questions such as these:
Take the time to thoroughly analyze pest control companies using these questions. This will help you choose the most qualified provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
Binghamton is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. To give you an idea of the most common pests in the city, we studied the pests mentioned in around 10 million posts on social media.
Our top picks for pest control companies in Binghamton are Terminix and Orkin. They're respected in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every quarter. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
To find the right pest control company for you, the key is to take time to do thorough research. We recommend obtaining quotes from multiple companies and reading reviews to help determine which company is the best for you.
There are some pests you can handle yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue cockroach, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some situations warrant calling the professionals. If you have a large infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company.
Many Binghamton homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally 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 getting in touch with several companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for preventative pest control. This is because nests and colony numbers will get much higher in the summer, so pest control in the spring can help prevent you from getting too many pests later.
