Frequently Asked Questions

How much does pest control cost per year?

A quarterly general-pest plan runs about $400–$660 a year across four visits, and an annual single-visit plan is $300–$600. One-time treatments are $150–$500. Specialty work is separate: termite treatment is $500–$2,500 and bed-bug eradication $1,000–$5,000.

Is a recurring plan cheaper than paying per visit?

For an active or recurring infestation, usually yes. Once pests are established, a quarterly plan that bundles four visits typically costs less per visit than repeated one-time calls, and it includes preventive perimeter treatment that keeps the problem from returning.

Does home size affect pest control pricing?

Yes. Pricing scales off a roughly 2,000 sq ft baseline because a larger home means more perimeter to treat and more interior to inspect. A 3,000 sq ft home pays about 20% more per visit than a 2,000 sq ft home for the same service.

Are termites and bed bugs covered by a general plan?

Usually not. Most quarterly and annual general-pest plans exclude termites, bed bugs, and wildlife, which require specialized equipment and are billed as separate one-time jobs. Always confirm exactly which pests a plan covers before signing.

How much does monthly pest control cost?

Few plans are truly monthly; most are quarterly at $100–$165 per visit, which prorates to roughly $33–$55 a month. True monthly plans run about $40–$70 a month and are usually offered for restaurants or homes with recurring pest problems.

Is termite treatment worth the cost?

Yes, almost always. Treatment runs $500–$2,500, while untreated structural termite damage can top $8,000 and even threaten a home's habitability. The $75–$150 annual inspection is the most cost-effective preventive investment a homeowner can make.

How much does it cost to get rid of bed bugs?

Anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on home size and severity. Whole-home heat treatment runs $2,000–$4,000, while per-room chemical treatments cost $300–$600 each and usually need two or three rounds spaced about 2 weeks apart.

Does homeowners insurance cover pest control?

Generally no. Pests are treated as maintenance and are excluded from most policies, even structural termite damage. Some policies cover accidental rodent damage to wiring, but clearing the infestation itself is on you.
