Pest control prices across Santa Fe
Home size moves the price more than the address. Apartments and row houses in Downtown Santa Fe & the Railyard usually cost less per visit; bigger homes and yards in areas like Los Alamos, Española & Eldorado cost a little more.
Downtown Santa Fe & the Railyard
- One-time visit
- $200–$400 per visit
- Plan visit
- $80–$280 / 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.
Southside Santa Fe
- One-time visit
- $210–$410 per visit
- Plan visit
- $80–$280 / quarterly plan visit
Older houses with gaps around pipes, vents and foundations let mice and ants in. Sealing those gaps is the part that stops the next call.
Midtown & Siler Road
- One-time visit
- $210–$430 per visit
- Plan visit
- $85–$280 / quarterly plan visit
Typical city pricing. Mature trees and older foundations bring ants, carpenter ants and termites close to the house.
Los Alamos, Española & Eldorado
- One-time visit
- $230–$460 per visit
- Plan visit
- $85–$310 / quarterly plan visit
Edge-of-town homes near fields and woods see more mice in fall and more wildlife. Ask whether the price includes travel.
Real-world pest control costs in Santa Fe
Here's what common pest control jobs cost in Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe run $85–$370; a full inside-and-out visit for every common bug is $120–$460.
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 $85–$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–$600, and sealing the gaps they use another $170–$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 $700–$2,800. 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 $85–$280 each, comes to $385–$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 Santa Fe?
Expect $250 for one visit, inside and out, and anywhere from $120 to $460 depending on home size and the pest. A plan costs less per visit: $85–$280 each quarter after a $130–$280 start.
Rodents and wildlife are priced by the job: $130–$600 to trap or bait mice or rats, $170–$1,400 to seal the gaps they use, and $170–$560 for a raccoon or squirrel. Re-checked against 62 sources, November 2026.

What moves a pest control quote in Santa Fe:
- The pest: ants and spiders are cheap; bed bugs run $260–$740 a room and termites $700–$2,800 for a barrier.
- Home size: most companies price by square footage; a 3,000 sq ft home runs about $160–$630 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 $85–$280 quarterly or $35–$70 monthly, against $250 for a one-off.
- Sealing and repairs: closing mouse gaps adds $170–$1,400; termite damage is a separate repair bill.

Pest control cost in Santa Fe by home size
A one-time visit is about $100–$380 for a 1,000 sq ft home, $120–$460 for 1,500–2,000 sq ft, and $160–$630 for 3,000 sq ft in Santa Fe.
Worked example: a 2,000 sq ft Santa Fe home on a quarterly plan pays $170 for the first visit and $130 for each of three more visits, about $560 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 $700–$2,800.
Santa Fe pest control prices by pest
| Pest | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Ants | $85–$370 per job | Kitchen trails and nests near the house; carpenter ants may cost more |
| Cockroaches | $85–$560 per job | German roaches indoors are the hardest to clear; bigger outdoor roaches need a barrier |
| Spiders | $85–$280 per job | Webs around eaves, garages and basements |
| Fleas | $85–$370 per job | Pet homes; treat the pets with your vet at the same time |
| Bed bugs | $260–$740 a room; $1,300–$5,600 whole home | Heat takes about 6–9 hours for a home; chemical jobs need 2–4 visits |
| Mice and rats | $130–$600 plus $170–$1,400 to seal | Trapping or bait first, then sealing the gaps they use |
| Raccoons, squirrels and opossums | $170–$560 per job | Animals in attics, crawlspaces and chimneys |
| Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets | $110–$740 per nest | Nests near doors, eaves or inside walls |
| Termites (subterranean) | $700–$2,800 liquid; $880–$2,350 bait | Mud tubes on the foundation, soft wood near the ground |
| Termites (drywood) | $210–$1,100 spot; $1,350–$4,700 tenting | Small pellets near windows and wood trim, common in warm coastal areas |
One visit vs a year of service in Santa Fe
A one-time visit at $250 sounds cheaper than a plan, but if bugs come back you pay it again. A quarterly plan in Santa Fe costs about $560 for the first year ($170 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 Santa Fe 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 $210
- Bed bugs: $260–$740 for one room, $1,300–$5,600 for a whole-home heat job
- Sealing and wildlife: $170–$1,400 to seal mouse gaps, $170–$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 ($85–$370 for ants). Bed bugs ($260–$740 a room) and termites ($700–$2,800 for a barrier) take special products, more time and often more visits.
Home size
Most companies price by square footage. One visit runs about $100–$380 for a 1,000 sq ft home and $160–$630 for 3,000 sq ft in Santa Fe.
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: $85–$280 each quarter or $35–$70 a month, after a $130–$280 first visit, against $120–$460 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–$4,700) 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 $170–$1,400, and removing a raccoon, squirrel or opossum $170–$560.
Local labor
Pest control workers in the Santa Fe metro earn a median of about $18.12 an hour (BLS, May 2025), against $21.75 nationally. A typical one-time visit here is $250, 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 ($170–$1,400) costs less than trapping every fall.
- Skip the plan if it's a one-off.A single wasp nest ($110–$740) or ant trail ($85–$370) 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 $170–$930 a year.
- Get two quotes for big jobs.For bed bugs ($1,300–$5,600 whole home) or termites ($700–$2,800 and up), ask two companies for the same scope and warranty. The spread is often hundreds.
Get these in writing from any Santa Fe 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
