What pest control typically costs
Real prices depend on the pest, the size and condition of your property, how bad the infestation is, and your area. These are typical US ranges — estimates, not quotes.
| Treatment | Typical range | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| One-time treatment | $150 – $350 | A single visit for a specific pest — common for ants, roaches, or wasps. |
| Recurring plan (per visit) | $45 – $120 / visit | Quarterly or bi-monthly prevention, billed per visit. Often the best value over a year. |
| Rodent control | $200 – $600 | Inspection, trapping or baiting, and sealing entry points. |
| Termite treatment | $500 – $2,500+ | Inspection plus liquid or bait treatment. Larger jobs cost more. |
| Bed bug treatment | $300 – $1,500+ | Heat or chemical treatment, often over more than one visit. |
Estimates only — confirm the price and plan in writing with a licensed pro before any treatment.
