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 comparing factors like industry experience, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, coverage, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies ranked in Saugerties:
Terminix has 300 branches in over 22 countries and has been in the pest control industry for over 90 years. The company offers cutting-edge pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix can help you with all types of pest problems for homeowners and business owners. These include rodents, termites, opossums, roaches, ants, raccoons, and spiders. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
Orkin has been around for over 100 years. Due to its vast network, Orkin can provide same-day or next-day service.

Rentokil is a service group with over 90 years of experience in the pest control industry. The company provides expert pest control treatments all around the world. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few regional pest control branches like Western Exterminator, Presto-X, and J.C. Ehrlich.
It deals with 36 of the most common pests including cockroaches, bed bugs, mice, spiders, rats, moths, flies, and more. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Not all pest control companies are the same in credibility, qualifications, and competence. Vetting companies helps you identify the right choice for your pest circumstance. Focus on these key factors when choosing a pest control company:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's bed bugs, termites, roaches, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
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). Possessing these credentials indicates that the technicians have adequate training. Question the company about the training hours required for its technicians as well as its policies for continuing education.
Before scheduling an appointment, take the time to read online reviews on sites such as Google or Yelp to verify that the company has a reputation for providing positive experiences and effective services. Also look 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 the latest pest control methods and treatments. When you choose a professional from our list of the top pest control in Saugerties, you can rest easy knowing you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer natural pest control methods, look for providers that advertise “green” certifications. For bigger animals such as 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 solutions. 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.
Reliable pest control professionals typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the company will come back and re-treat your home at no cost if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have reduced your options to 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 choose the right provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
A variety of pests can find their way into Saugerties homes. Some are relatively harmless, but others can damage your home and your health. All of them can give homeowners anxiety. We studied around 10 million online discussions to determine the most common pests in the city.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Saugerties are Orkin and Terminix. 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. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife 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 — and how long you should 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.
Many Saugerties homeowners are concerned 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 find out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for an estimate.
For apartments and homes, quarterly pest control treatments are recommended. If you have a more serious infestation, however, you may have to get monthly treatments for a few months until the infestation is resolved.
