If you're dealing with a pest infestation, you can expect to pay between $50 to $250 on average for DIY treatments or between $150 to $350 for one time professional services.

An honest, legitimate pest control company will tell you what a service costs, up front. A quote from the company should involve a technician looking at your home and determining the scope of the problem—and the actual price of the service should not differ wildly from the quoted price.

Types of pests and their impact on pest control costs Pest control costs can vary greatly depending on the type of pest infesting your home. Termites, bed bugs, and rodents are typically the most costly to treat, as they often require specialized treatments and can cause extensive damage to your property.

Are pest control companies worth it? One word: Yup. Once you catch wind of insects or rodents taking up residence, it's time to take action. At first glance, hiring a professional pest control company may seem like an expensive or unnecessary investment.
