Pest control prices by pest
The pest decides the price more than the city. These are national prices for a typical home, labor and products included.
| Pest | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Ants | $100–$400 per job | Kitchen trails and nests near the house; carpenter ants may cost more |
| Cockroaches | $100–$600 per job | German roaches indoors are the hardest to clear; bigger outdoor roaches need a barrier |
| Spiders | $100–$300 per job | Webs around eaves, garages and basements |
| Fleas | $100–$400 per job | Pet homes; treat pets with your vet at the same time |
| Bed bugs | $300–$800 a room; $1,500–$6,000 whole home | Heat takes about 6–9 hours for a home; chemical jobs need 2–4 visits |
| Mice and rats | $150–$650 plus $200–$1,500 to seal | Trapping or bait first, then sealing the gaps they use |
| Raccoons, squirrels and opossums | $200–$600 per job | Animals in attics, crawlspaces and chimneys |
| Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets | $125–$800 per nest | Nests near doors, eaves or inside walls |
| Mosquitoes | $75–$200 per visit | Yards near water or woods; often sold as a season of visits |
| Termites (subterranean) | $800–$3,000 liquid; $1,000–$2,500 bait | Mud tubes on the foundation, soft wood near the ground |
| Termites (drywood) | $250–$1,200 spot; $1,500–$5,000 tenting | Small pellets near windows and trim, common in warm coastal areas |
Common bugs are covered by a general visit or plan. Bed bugs, termites, rodents that need sealing, and wildlife are priced on their own because they take special products, more visits or a specialist.
Common pest control jobs and what they cost (2026)

| Termite tent fumigation (2–3 days out of the home) | $1,500 | $3,000 | $5,000 |
Times are for a typical single-family home. What moves a quote most: the pest, the size of the home, how bad the problem is, and whether you want one visit or a plan.
One-time visit vs quarterly plan vs monthly plan
The right choice depends on whether the bugs will come back. Here's how the three compare for a typical 1,500–2,000 sq ft home.
| Factor | One-time visit | Quarterly plan | Monthly plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price per visit | $150–$550 | $100–$300 after a $150–$300 first visit | $40–$75 after a first visit |
| Cost for a year | One visit; pay again if they come back | $450–$1,200 the first year, $400–$1,200 after | $480–$900 |
| Free return visits | Sometimes; ask how long | Usually, between visits | Usually |
| Contract | None | Can be 12 months; check how it renews | Can be 12 months; check how it renews |
| Best for | One problem you don't expect back | Most houses with seasonal bugs | Heavy roach problems, apartments, restaurants |
Quarterly is the usual pick for a house. Go monthly only for a stubborn indoor problem, and one-time when it's a single nest or trail.
Recurring costs: what pest protection costs a year
Most homes need nothing beyond a plan. Termite protection and mosquito seasons are the common add-ons.
| Item | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quarterly general pest plan, first year | $450 | $650 | $1,200 |
| Quarterly plan, each year after | $400 | $600 | $1,200 |
| Monthly plan, per year | $480 | $660 | $900 |
| Termite bond or plan renewal | $200 | $450 | $1,000 |
| Termite bait monitoring | $200 | $300 | $400 |
| Mosquito season, 5 yard visits (common in the South) | $375 | $675 | $1,000 |
A termite renewal at about $450 a year is cheap next to repairs that run $600–$3,000, and home insurance usually doesn't pay for termite damage.
What affects pest control costs
The pest
Common bugs are quick: ants run $100–$400. Bed bugs ($300–$800 a room) and termites ($800–$3,000 for a barrier) take special products and more time.
Home size
Most companies price by square footage. One visit runs about $120–$450 for 1,000 sq ft and $200–$750 for 3,000 sq ft.
How bad it is
A small, early problem is one visit. Heavy roach, flea, rodent or bed bug problems need follow-ups, and each one adds to the bill.
One visit or a plan
Plan visits cost $100–$300 a quarter or $40–$75 a month after a $150–$300 start, against $150–$550 for a one-off.
Termite type and climate
Warm, humid states see more termites and year-round bugs. Drywood termites often mean tenting; Formosan termites, found across Florida and the Gulf Coast, Hawaii and Southern California, build colonies of several million.
Your city
Local costs move the price a lot. Angi's city figures run about 50% above its national ones in New York City and a little over half of them in Phoenix; on our city pages the typical visit runs from $170 in Phoenix to $450 in New York.
How to save on pest control
- Get a free inspection.Most big companies inspect free when it isn't for a home sale. Get the pest named and the plan in writing first.
- Fix what lets them in.Seal gaps, fix leaks and move mulch and firewood away from the house. Sealing mouse gaps ($200–$1,500) costs less than trapping every fall.
- Skip the contract for one-offs.A wasp nest ($125–$800) or ant trail ($100–$400) doesn't need a year-long plan.
- Read the cancel terms.Some plans run a full year. Ask how to cancel and whether the first-visit discount gets charged back.
- Bundle termite and general pest.A combined plan often costs less than two. A termite renewal alone is $200–$1,000 a year.
- Get two quotes for big jobs.For bed bugs ($1,500–$6,000 whole home) or termites, ask two companies for the same scope and warranty.

Pest control cost in the USA by home size
A one-time visit is about $120–$450 for a 1,000 sq ft home, $150–$550 for 1,500–2,000 sq ft, and $200–$750 for 3,000 sq ft.
Worked example: a 2,000 sq ft home on a quarterly plan pays $200 for the first visit and $150 for each of three more, about $650 for the first year. Five mosquito yard visits at $135 add $675.

Do pest control companies need a license?
The people who apply the strongest products do. Every state runs a program to certify pesticide applicators. Under EPA rules, restricted-use pesticides may only be applied by a certified applicator or someone under one's direct supervision, and fumigation needs its own extra certification. Ask for the company's state license or certification number.
