Prices are for the Nashville metro: the city and its close suburbs. Bigger homes in areas like Antioch, Madison & the suburbs pay a little more per visit; smaller homes and apartments in Midtown and the Gulch usually pay less.
Pest control prices across Nashville
Same city, four price bands. The gap is mostly home size and the pests each area sees: roaches and mice in dense blocks, termites, mosquitoes and wildlife where yards are bigger.
Music Row & Midtown
- One-time visit
- $260–$530 per visit
- Plan visit
- $100–$310 / quarterly plan visit
Apartments, row houses and shared walls. Roaches, mice and bed bugs travel between units, so one visit often isn't enough; ask whether the price covers a follow-up.
East Nashville
- One-time visit
- $280–$540 per visit
- Plan visit
- $100–$310 / quarterly plan visit
A mix of old and new homes. Prices sit near the city typical; older homes see more rodent and termite work.
Berry Hill & Wedgewood-Houston
- One-time visit
- $280–$560 per visit
- Plan visit
- $110–$310 / quarterly plan visit
Close to the city typical. Mid-century homes on crawlspaces are worth a termite check every year or two.
Antioch, Madison & the suburbs
- One-time visit
- $310–$630 per visit
- Plan visit
- $110–$340 / quarterly plan visit
Most companies price by square footage, so larger suburban homes pay a little more per visit. Yards near woods or water see more mosquitoes and ticks.
Real-world pest control costs in Nashville
Here's what common pest control jobs cost in Nashville in 2026, labor and products included.
Ants in the kitchen: one visit
A tech finds where they come in, treats inside and sprays a barrier outside. Most ant jobs in Nashville run $110–$420; a full inside-and-out visit for every common bug is $160–$600.
German roaches in an apartment
German roaches are hard to wipe out, and most roach jobs take two to eight weeks to fully work. Budget $110–$630 for the program. If the building has them too, ask the landlord to treat the units next door.
Mice in the garage: trap, then seal
Trapping or baiting with follow-ups runs $160–$680, and sealing the gaps they use another $220–$1,550. Skip the sealing and you'll likely pay for trapping again next fall.
Termites found during a home sale
The termite (WDI) report costs $55–$240. If it finds live subterranean termites, a liquid barrier around the house runs $860–$3,100. Ask who pays: buyers often negotiate it into the sale.
Year-round plan: first visit plus quarterly
A $160–$310 first visit, then three quarterly visits at $110–$310 each, comes to $490–$1,240 for the first year. Most plans include free return visits if bugs come back between services.
How much does pest control cost in Nashville?
$160–$600 for a one-time visit, and $330 is what most Nashville homeowners pay. Small homes and simple ant or spider jobs land near $160; big homes, heavy roach problems and rush visits push toward $600.
Rodents and wildlife are priced by the job: $160–$680 to trap or bait mice or rats, $220–$1,550 to seal the gaps they use, and $220–$630 for a raccoon or squirrel. Re-checked against 62 sources, November 2026.

What moves a pest control quote in Nashville:
- The pest: ants and spiders are cheap; bed bugs run $330–$830 a room and termites $860–$3,100 for a barrier.
- Home size: most companies price by square footage; a 3,000 sq ft home runs about $220–$820 for one visit.
- How bad it is: heavy roach or rodent problems need follow-up visits, and each one adds to the bill.
- One visit or a plan: plan visits run $110–$310 quarterly or $45–$80 monthly, against $330 for a one-off.
- Sealing and repairs: closing mouse gaps adds $220–$1,550; termite damage is a separate repair bill.
Ask every Nashville company for the same four things: which pests are covered, how many visits, what the warranty or free re-service covers, and the cancel terms. Compare those, not just the first-visit price. Get a quote for your pest problem →
Pest control cost in Nashville by home size
A one-time visit is about $130–$490 for a 1,000 sq ft home, $160–$600 for 1,500–2,000 sq ft, and $220–$820 for 3,000 sq ft in Nashville.
Worked example: a 2,000 sq ft Nashville home on a quarterly plan pays $220 for the first visit and $160 for each of three more visits, about $700 for the first year. Adding a mosquito season of five yard visits at $150 adds $750.
Bigger homes take longer to treat, so most companies step the price up with square footage. Termite work is priced by the length of the foundation instead: a liquid barrier around a typical house runs $860–$3,100.
Nashville pest control prices by pest
| Pest | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Ants | $110–$420 per job | Kitchen trails and nests near the house; carpenter ants may cost more |
| Cockroaches | $110–$630 per job | German roaches indoors are the hardest to clear; bigger outdoor roaches need a barrier |
| Spiders | $110–$310 per job | Webs around eaves, garages and basements |
| Fleas | $110–$420 per job | Pet homes; treat the pets with your vet at the same time |
| Bed bugs | $330–$830 a room; $1,600–$6,250 whole home | Heat takes about 6–9 hours for a home; chemical jobs need 2–4 visits |
| Mice and rats | $160–$680 plus $220–$1,550 to seal | Trapping or bait first, then sealing the gaps they use |
| Raccoons, squirrels and opossums | $220–$630 per job | Animals in attics, crawlspaces and chimneys |
| Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets | $140–$840 per nest | Nests near doors, eaves or inside walls |
| Termites (subterranean) | $860–$3,100 liquid; $1,050–$2,600 bait | Mud tubes on the foundation, soft wood near the ground |
| Termites (drywood) | $270–$1,250 spot; $1,600–$5,200 tenting | Small pellets near windows and wood trim, common in warm coastal areas |
One visit vs a year of service in Nashville
A one-time visit at $330 sounds cheaper than a plan, but if bugs come back you pay it again. A quarterly plan in Nashville costs about $700 for the first year ($220 to start, then three visits at $160), and after that about $640 a year, with free return visits between services.
Monthly service runs $45–$80 a visit, or $540–$960 a year. It makes sense for heavy roach problems or apartments; for most houses, quarterly is enough.
What's included in a Nashville pest control quote (and what costs extra)
A general pest visit covers an inspection, treatment inside and out for common bugs like ants, roaches and spiders, and usually free return visits if they come back before the next service. It usually leaves out:
- Termites: a separate inspection ($80–$310 where it isn't free) and treatment from $270
- Bed bugs: $330–$830 for one room, $1,600–$6,250 for a whole-home heat job
- Sealing and wildlife: $220–$1,550 to seal mouse gaps, $220–$630 for a raccoon or squirrel
- Mosquitoes: $80–$210 a yard visit, often sold as a season of visits
Ask for the products used, the re-service promise and the cancel terms in writing.
The pest
Ants, spiders and roaches are quick general treatments ($110–$420 for ants). Bed bugs ($330–$830 a room) and termites ($860–$3,100 for a barrier) take special products, more time and often more visits.
Home size
Most companies price by square footage. One visit runs about $130–$490 for a 1,000 sq ft home and $220–$820 for 3,000 sq ft in Nashville.
How bad it is
A few ants is one visit. A heavy roach, flea or rodent problem needs follow-ups, and companies price the whole program up front or charge per extra visit.
One visit or a plan
Plans cost less per visit: $110–$310 each quarter or $45–$80 a month, after a $160–$310 first visit, against $160–$600 for a one-off.
Termite type
Subterranean termites live in the soil and are treated with a liquid barrier or bait stations. Drywood termites live in the wood itself and often need tent fumigation ($1,600–$5,200) or spot work. Formosan termites, found across Florida and the Gulf Coast, Hawaii and Southern California, build colonies of several million.
Sealing and wildlife
Rodents and wildlife come back unless their way in is closed. Sealing gaps runs $220–$1,550, and removing a raccoon, squirrel or opossum $220–$630.
Local labor
Pest control workers in the Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin metro earn a median of about $21.32 an hour (BLS, May 2025), against $21.75 nationally. A typical one-time visit here is $330, above the $300 national typical.
- Get a free inspection first.Most big companies inspect for free when it isn't for a home sale. Get the pest named and the plan in writing before you pay for anything.
- Fix what lets them in.Seal gaps, fix leaks and move firewood and mulch away from the house. Sealing mouse gaps ($220–$1,550) costs less than trapping every fall.
- Skip the plan if it's a one-off.A single wasp nest ($140–$840) or ant trail ($110–$420) doesn't need a year contract. Plans pay off when the same bugs come back every season.
- Read the cancel terms.Some plans run a full year. Ask how to cancel and whether you must pay back the first-visit discount if you stop early.
- Bundle termite and general pest.Many companies price a combined plan below two separate ones. A termite renewal alone runs $220–$1,050 a year.
- Get two quotes for big jobs.For bed bugs ($1,600–$6,250 whole home) or termites ($860–$3,100 and up), ask two companies for the same scope and warranty. The spread is often hundreds.
Get these in writing from any Nashville company before you pay or sign a plan:
- The company's state license number and proof of insurance
- Which pests are covered, and which cost extra (termites, bed bugs, rodents, wildlife)
- Inside, outside or both, and the home size the price is based on
- The products to be used, and any prep or time away from home
- How many visits, and the price of each one
- Free return visits between services: yes or no
- The warranty, and for termites, whether it covers retreatment only or repairs too
- Contract length, auto-renewal and how to cancel

Is pest control treatment safe for kids and pets?
Licensed companies use products approved for home use and tell you how long to stay off treated areas, often until sprays dry. Tell them about pets, fish tanks and anyone with asthma before the visit.
