The number one thing a homeowner looks for when hiring a pest control company is experience. For over four decades, Professional Termite and Pest Control has serviced the local area, from Jersey City to Newark. The reason our patrons rely on our expertise year after year is because they need a reliable exterminator who also takes pride in their everyday work activities. Also, they look for someone who will always diligently do the job to the best of their ability, and not cut corners. We intend to maintain our good reputation for years to come.
​
All of our customers also look for a Pest Control company who is licensed and certified. It can be hard to know who to trust at times with all types of contractors these days, and the homeowner wants to be sure that whoever they hire is an all- round good person, not just a good exterminator. Besides, you will be trusting this person to work in and around your home. That being said, all patrons want the peace of mind of knowing that their exterminator is trustworthy, and is a member of the national as well as state professional organizations.

It is important that you do your homework when hiring contractors and they should never feel offended if you request certain documentation that would serve as proof of their professional licensure. Any exterminator who shies away from these types of customer inquiries and avoids the question should raise a red flag in the eyes of the customer. It is always helpful to be a good judge of character when it comes to hiring a good exterminator. The health of you and your family depends on the reliability of them doing a good job in ridding your home of pests that may carry around harmful diseases. It is always better to be safe than sorry in checking their certifications beforehand. 

When hiring pest control companies in New Jersey, or anywhere else for that matter, the first thing you want to do is be sure that they are qualified. These days, many homeowners will go off any seemingly reputable pest control company out there that is local to them, just because they have a good looking website. The truth is, there are some individuals who feel that they can get over on uninformed folks who just want to rid their home of rodents or insects. And, in the end, the consumer gets a pest control “company” who does a very subpar job on their residence.

How, then, can you be sure if you are getting a company that is truly professional and will do a good, thorough job? There are a few concrete ways to distinguish between who is real and fake when it comes to pest control companies. Firstly, you can always do some homework beforehand, such as finding out if the people you hired are a part of any state or national organizations for pest control. It is fairly easy to find out, and once you do you will feel a lot safer hiring them to come eliminate the vermin from your home.

For example, in The Garden State, there is NJPMA, the New Jersey Pest Management Association. To find out if the company whom you are considering is legitimate, first visit their website. Look to the top of the page and find the section labeled “Professional Directory”. Click on it, and a page will pop up that has the letters A through Z near the top. This is an alphabetical listing of each and every qualified pest control company in this state. For example, our company is on this exact page, at this link. If the person you were about to hire isn’t there, forget about letting them work in your home…it could be dangerous!

For even more peace of mind, you can go a step further to be sure that the company you hire is a part of a national organization, like we are. This is the place where all the state organizations are who are reputable, reliable, and recognized across America as the premier pest control companies in the country. This site is also easy to navigate if you are a customer who is looking forward to ridding your home of pests. But, to make it easy on you, the NJPMA is listed here.
