What to know before you book

What a plan covers

A general plan covers common bugs: ants, roaches, spiders, crickets, silverfish and the like. Each visit treats outside around the foundation and, if needed, inside. Most plans include free return visits if bugs come back between services.

Termites, bed bugs, mosquitoes and wildlife are almost always extra. Some plans include mice; many don't. Ask for the covered pest list in writing.

Compare

Quarterly, monthly or one-time?

Quarterly suits most houses: $100–$300 a visit keeps a barrier in place through the seasons. Monthly ($40–$75 a visit, $480–$900 a year) suits heavy roach problems and apartments. A one-time visit ($150–$550) suits a single problem you don't expect back.

Do the math for your house: if you'd call for help two or three times a year anyway, a plan at about $600 a year usually costs less.

What drives the price

Home size, the pests in your area and local labor costs. Prices vary a lot by city: Angi's Phoenix figures put a quarterly visit at $60–$170, against $150–$450 in New York City.

The first visit costs more because it's a full inside-and-out treatment, often with a deeper inspection.

Watch out

Contract traps to avoid

Plans can run for 12 months, and some make you pay back the first-visit discount if you cancel early. Ask how to cancel, whether you can pause, and whether the price rises after the first year.

Quarterly pest control plan cost: FAQ

Is quarterly pest control worth it?

If bugs come back every season, yes for most homes. At $100–$300 a visit, it's usually cheaper than two or three one-time calls a year.

Why is the first visit more expensive?

It's a full treatment inside and out to knock down what's there, plus a closer inspection. Expect $150–$300.

Can I cancel a pest control contract?

Usually, but read the terms first: some plans run for a year, and some charge back the first-visit discount if you cancel early.

Does a pest plan cover termites?

Almost never. Termite protection is a separate plan or bond, about $200–$1,000 a year to renew.

Do I need to be home for quarterly visits?

Not always. Many visits are outside only. Inside treatments are usually done when you ask for them or when bugs come back.
