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 companies by comparing factors like industry experience, coverage, types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Haverstraw ranked:
Terminix is one of the largest and longest running pest control companies in the world, with many branches in 45 states and 22 other countries. With the amount of experience the company has, it’s easy to see why Terminix is one of the top companies in the country.
Terminix is most widely known for its specialty termite services, but they help with much more than that. Their other services include: cockroaches, ticks, mosquitoes, rodents, ants, spiders, and wildlife control such as raccoons, opossums, squirrels, skunks, and more. Terminix offers a free inspection. A qualified exterminator will assess your situation and provide a suitable control plan.
Started in 1901 by a rat poison salesman named Otto, the Orkin brand has evolved into one of the most trustworthy in the pest control industry. It has excellent customer reviews and skilled exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin handles many common pests, such as spiders, cockroaches, ants, and silverfish. Once the first treatment, your Orkin specialist will follow up to make sure the pests haven’t returned. If they have, your local technicians can help.
Rentokil has been helping homeowners remove common pests for over 90 years. Rentokil is the parent company of top North American pest control providers including J.C. Ehrlich, Presto-X, and Western Exterminator, which can provide tailored services.
Rentokil provides integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both eliminating current pests and preventing future infestations. Depending on where you live, Rentokil may cover wildlife like rodents, snakes, and birds.
Not all pest control providers are the same in reputation, qualifications, and proficiency. Evaluating services helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like rodents, roaches, bed bugs, or termites. 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, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), in addition to proper state licensing. The right credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about continuing education policies and total training hours.
Before booking an appointment, browse online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a proven track record of providing effective service and positive customer experiences. Also check for any complaints via the Better Business Bureau. Ask about the ongoing training the company’s technicians receive to ensure they stay up to date on the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you select a company from our list of the top pest control in Haverstraw, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
Homeowners who want natural, eco-friendly pest control should look for companies that promote “green” certified solutions. You can also ask about trapping options that don't harm 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. Whether you choose eco-friendly or traditional options, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Leading pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for ongoing plans. The guarantees mean if pests remain after the initial treatment, the provider will return and re-treat your home for free until the infestation is handled. One-time treatments may not include reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top exterminators, reach out to each one with questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you hire the right provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
There are various types of pests in Haverstraw, ranging from harmless annoyances to ones that can damage your home. To help you prepare for the most commonly seen pests, we studied various social media sites and made a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Haverstraw are Terminix and Orkin. They're well known 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 home once every quarter or every two to three months. Getting your property sprayed regularly will stop insects and other wildlife from coming back.
There are some pests you can get rid of yourself. For example, if you see a few ants or a rogue spider, chances are you can get rid of it on your own. But some situations warrant bringing in the professionals. If you have a big infestation, you don’t know what the pest is, or would like preventative pest control, you should hire a pest control company, especially if you have young children.
Many Haverstraw homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control typically costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control companies for a quote.
Spring is the best time for proactive pest control. The reason is nests and colony numbers will grow much larger as it gets warmer, so spraying in the spring can help prevent your property from getting too many pests later.
