We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data.

- Ask for the NJDEP Pesticide Applicator Business license. In New Jersey, pest control need it from the NJ Department of Environmental Protection. Every business that applies pesticides for hire must hold a Pesticide Applicator Business license renewed each year, with the license year ending October 31, so check that it is current.
- Written estimates. Any pest control specialist who won't put the scope in writing is a red flag.
- Review quality, not just volume. Read the 3-star reviews, they're usually the most honest.
- Local references. A pest control specialist who's done work in Downtown or Ironbound will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
