The average cost for home pest control in the United States varies by service type, home size, pest type, and region, but general ranges can be provided for budgeting. For a one-time general pest control treatment for common pests like ants, spiders, cockroaches, and occasional invaders, the average cost is $150 to $300 for a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot home, with initial visits often costing more due to inspection and setup. For ongoing quarterly preventative service which most companies recommend for year-round protection, the average cost is $100 to $150 per quarter, or $400 to $600 per year, with initial fees of $150 to $250 sometimes included. Monthly service for heavy pest pressure in the South averages $40 to $70 per month. Specialty pest costs are higher, so termite inspection costs $75 to $150, termite treatment with liquid barrier or bait system costs $1,000 to $3,000 for a typical home and $3,000 to $6,000 for severe infestations. Bed bug treatment is one of the most expensive, averaging $1,000 to $3,000 for heat treatment and chemical combination for a whole home, with single rooms $300 to $900. Rodent control costs $150 to $500 for trapping and exclusion. Mosquito control for a season costs $300 to $500. Wasp nest removal costs $100 to $300. Prices are higher in large cities and coastal areas. Many companies offer free inspections and discounts for annual plans, and costs depend on home size, infestation severity, and whether you need follow-up visits.
