It seems that homes and businesses face wave after wave of invasion from pests such as rodents, bed bugs, cockroach, ants, and spiders. This continual onslaught adds up to big money. So what is the average cost for pest control services? The answer varies based on the type of service and size of the job. Let’s explore.

The Average Cost for Pest Control Services

One time house calls or calls to a business range from $50 to as high as $530. The variance depends on the size of the treatment area. For specific treatments, such as termites or bed bugs, the cost of treatment can be as high as $3,500 for a building that is 2,500 square feet. The high end of treating bed bugs can top the $7,000 mark. While the average cost of pest control seems staggering, Preventive Pest Control offers low cost pest control services that provide an affordable alternative to the average cost without a drop in quality.

Pest Control Cost Estimates

In a recent article that appeared on Home Advisor, the average cost for pest control services was $180 while the averages ranged from $109-$278.

The key word here is estimates and that word is important because insects are resourceful and cyclical. Very rarely do you just have one invasion. Instead, each spring you may have ants. By summer the spiders, flies, and stinging insects will be moving in with you. By fall, the mice, crawling insects, flies, and rats will be looking for a warm winter nest. The kicker is that pest control is an ongoing issues for both homeowners and commercial properties. So while we talk about the average cost to treat a single incident, the reality is that most homes and business will need to have a service plan of some type in place because $180 every time you have a pest invasion can lead to thousands of dollars per year for pest control costs.

The reality is that a monthly service agreement might be much cheaper and its presence will likely reduce the number of insects and pests that make it to your home. There are DIY options, but those are not usually as comprehensive as a professional service. The other issue with DIY options is that not every pesticide or trap works on every type of pest. What kills off a cockroach will likely not kill off mice or spiders. So while DIY is an option, you will likely end up spending as much if not more treating a variety of pests. A good tip is to simply call Preventive Pest Control for a quote and see what the monthly service for pest manage will cost for your home or business. The savings might just surprise you.
