What to know before you book

TermitesThe expensive one. Liquid barrier treatment $500 to $2,500; bait systems $1,000 to $3,000 with annual monitoring. Inspections are $75 to $150 and often free if you buy treatment.
Bed bugsHeat treatment for a whole home runs $1,000 to $2,500 and usually needs two visits.
GuaranteesMost plans include free re treatment between visits. Ask what the guarantee covers.
SeasonalSpring and early summer are the busiest and most expensive times to book.

Why it costs what it costs

Pest control is priced on repeat business. The first visit is the expensive one because the company has to inspect, identify and treat; follow ups are cheaper because the work is maintenance. That is why plans look cheap per visit and why the first quote is often high.
