Prices are for the Rochester metro: the city and its close suburbs. Bigger homes in areas like Byron, Stewartville & Winona pay a little more per visit; smaller homes and apartments in Downtown Rochester usually pay less.
Pest control prices across Rochester
Home size moves the price more than the address. Apartments and row houses in Downtown Rochester usually cost less per visit; bigger homes and yards in areas like Byron, Stewartville & Winona cost a little more.
Downtown Rochester
- One-time visit
- $210–$420 per visit
- Plan visit
- $85–$280 / quarterly plan visit
Dense blocks with older buildings. Smaller homes keep one-time visits near the low end, but roach and rodent jobs here often need two or three trips.
Northwest & Northeast Rochester
- One-time visit
- $220–$430 per visit
- Plan visit
- $85–$280 / quarterly plan visit
Lots of remodels and older homes. If walls are open, it's a cheap time to treat for termites or seal mouse gaps.
South & Southeast Rochester
- One-time visit
- $220–$440 per visit
- Plan visit
- $90–$280 / quarterly plan visit
Settled streets of single-family homes. Most people here pay close to the city typical for a one-time visit or a quarterly plan.
Byron, Stewartville & Winona
- One-time visit
- $250–$490 per visit
- Plan visit
- $90–$310 / 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 Rochester
Here's what common pest control jobs cost in Rochester 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 Rochester run $90–$380; a full inside-and-out visit for every common bug is $130–$480.
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 $90–$560 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 $130–$610, and sealing the gaps they use another $180–$1,400. Skip the sealing and you'll likely pay for trapping again next fall.
Termites found during a home sale
The termite (WDI) report costs $45–$210. If it finds live subterranean termites, a liquid barrier around the house runs $720–$2,850. Ask who pays: buyers often negotiate it into the sale.
Year-round plan: first visit plus quarterly
A $130–$280 first visit, then three quarterly visits at $90–$280 each, comes to $400–$1,120 for the first year. Most plans include free return visits if bugs come back between services.
How much does pest control cost in Rochester?
Expect $260 for one visit, inside and out, and anywhere from $130 to $480 depending on home size and the pest. A plan costs less per visit: $90–$280 each quarter after a $130–$280 start.
Rodents and wildlife are priced by the job: $130–$610 to trap or bait mice or rats, $180–$1,400 to seal the gaps they use, and $180–$560 for a raccoon or squirrel. Re-checked against 62 sources, November 2026.

What moves a pest control quote in Rochester:
- The pest: ants and spiders are cheap; bed bugs run $270–$750 a room and termites $720–$2,850 for a barrier.
- Home size: most companies price by square footage; a 3,000 sq ft home runs about $180–$650 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 $90–$280 quarterly or $35–$70 monthly, against $260 for a one-off.
- Sealing and repairs: closing mouse gaps adds $180–$1,400; termite damage is a separate repair bill.

Pest control cost in Rochester by home size
A one-time visit is about $110–$390 for a 1,000 sq ft home, $130–$480 for 1,500–2,000 sq ft, and $180–$650 for 3,000 sq ft in Rochester.
Worked example: a 2,000 sq ft Rochester home on a quarterly plan pays $180 for the first visit and $130 for each of three more visits, about $570 for the first year. Adding a mosquito season of five yard visits at $120 adds $600.
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 $720–$2,850.
Rochester pest control prices by pest
| Pest | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Ants | $90–$380 per job | Kitchen trails and nests near the house; carpenter ants may cost more |
| Cockroaches | $90–$560 per job | German roaches indoors are the hardest to clear; bigger outdoor roaches need a barrier |
| Spiders | $90–$280 per job | Webs around eaves, garages and basements |
| Fleas | $90–$380 per job | Pet homes; treat the pets with your vet at the same time |
| Bed bugs | $270–$750 a room; $1,350–$5,700 whole home | Heat takes about 6–9 hours for a home; chemical jobs need 2–4 visits |

One visit vs a year of service in Rochester
A one-time visit at $260 sounds cheaper than a plan, but if bugs come back you pay it again. A quarterly plan in Rochester costs about $570 for the first year ($180 to start, then three visits at $130), and after that about $520 a year, with free return visits between services.
Monthly service runs $35–$70 a visit, or $420–$840 a year. It makes sense for heavy roach problems or apartments; for most houses, quarterly is enough.
What's included in a Rochester 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 ($65–$280 where it isn't free) and treatment from $220
- Bed bugs: $270–$750 for one room, $1,350–$5,700 for a whole-home heat job
- Sealing and wildlife: $180–$1,400 to seal mouse gaps, $180–$560 for a raccoon or squirrel
- Mosquitoes: $65–$190 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 ($90–$380 for ants). Bed bugs ($270–$750 a room) and termites ($720–$2,850 for a barrier) take special products, more time and often more visits.
Home size
Most companies price by square footage. One visit runs about $110–$390 for a 1,000 sq ft home and $180–$650 for 3,000 sq ft in Rochester.
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: $90–$280 each quarter or $35–$70 a month, after a $130–$280 first visit, against $130–$480 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 ($1,350–$4,750) 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 $180–$1,400, and removing a raccoon, squirrel or opossum $180–$560.
Local labor
BLS doesn't publish a separate pest control wage for the Rochester metro; the Minnesota median is about $20.02 an hour (May 2025), against $21.75 nationally. A typical one-time visit here is $260, below 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 ($180–$1,400) costs less than trapping every fall.
- Skip the plan if it's a one-off.A single wasp nest ($110–$750) or ant trail ($90–$380) 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 $180–$950 a year.
- Get two quotes for big jobs.For bed bugs ($1,350–$5,700 whole home) or termites ($720–$2,850 and up), ask two companies for the same scope and warranty. The spread is often hundreds.
Get these in writing from any Rochester 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
