Pest Control, a house that is yours again

It usually starts with evidence you were hoping you had imagined. The hard part is not the work — it is that every pest control company sounds equally sure of itself, and you get one guess. We check licence and insurance before we introduce anyone, and we record the date we checked.

Pest Control in short

Pest control services fall into four groups: one-time treatment for a specific problem, recurring general pest plans, specialty work such as termites, bed bugs or rodents, and exclusion work that seals a building against entry. This Old House puts a typical professional visit at $50-$500, with a national average of $171 for a standard infestation in 2026.

Most professional pest control visits cost $50-$500, with a national average of $171 for a standard infestation in 2026, according to This Old House. By pest, that source puts ants at $100-$500, rodents $180-$600, wasps $300-$700, termites $250-$1,000, bed bugs $1,000-$4,000, and tented fumigation at $1,500-$8,000.

Why a pro gets to be on this list

Most sites sell your number to whoever pays the most for it. We check the pest control companies we match you with, and we publish the date we checked so you can hold us to it.

Licence checked

We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.

Insurance confirmed

General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation — confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.

Reviews read, not counted

We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.

Re-checked, not set and forgotten

A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.

Zero reviews. On purpose.

We’d rather show you nothing than show you someone else’s reviews.

FAQ

Pest Control questions, answered

The questions homeowners ask us most about pest control.

This Old House puts most 2026 visits at $50-$500 with a $171 average for a standard infestation. By pest: ants $100-$500, rodents $180-$600, wasps $300-$700, termites $250-$1,000, bed bugs $1,000-$4,000, tented fumigation $1,500-$8,000.
It depends on the product and how it's applied. Ask for the label, the application rate and the re-entry interval before treatment day — EPA advises verifying re-entry timelines and says reliable applicators will provide label copies with rates and precautions.
Insist on identification before pricing, see the license, get the scope and guarantee in writing, refuse pressure sales and unsolicited offers (EPA warns about both), check complaints with your state pesticide regulatory agency, and never authorize structural repair off a pest inspection alone.
We don't answer that, and be wary of any site that does. Registered products, permitted uses and application rates are regulated and vary by state, and the label is legally binding. Use a licensed applicator, or follow the product label exactly.
They can be. Orkin reports about 600,000 US homes damaged annually, an estimated $5 billion spent nationally each year on control and repair, and an average $3,000 to repair discovered damage — separate from treatment cost.

The wrong pest control hire costs more than the right one.

Treatment without identification is guesswork on a schedule. The recurring contract outlives the problem it was sold for. Getting matched takes about a minute, costs nothing, and you can walk away from every quote you receive.
