Pest control costs vary significantly based on the pest type, infestation severity, treatment method, home size, and geographic location. The ranges below reflect realistic national averages — actual quotes in your area may differ.

| Rodents | Trap + seal | $200–$600 | Sealing adds cost but is essential |

Ranges are national averages for 2025. Actual costs vary by location, home size, severity, and treatment method. Emergency service carries a surcharge. Always get a written estimate before authorizing treatment.
Ongoing Service Plans vs. One-Time Treatment
Most pest control companies offer quarterly or monthly service agreements that cover multiple pest types and include routine inspections. Quarterly plans typically range $30-100/month ($120-400/year) and are often more cost-effective than treating individual infestations as they arise — especially for homeowners in high-pest-pressure areas.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
To get the most accurate quote, have the following ready when you call: the pest species (or your best description), where you are seeing them, how long you have noticed the problem, and an estimate of how many you are seeing. This information allows the specialist to arrive with the right products and give you a more accurate estimate over the phone before the inspection visit.
