Pest Control Costs Hit New Highs in 2026

Quarterly plans now run $40-$80 per visit — and one-time treatments can top $300. Here's how benchmarking reveals whether you're paying fair market rates or getting overcharged.

Pest control is one of those home expenses that feels non-negotiable — especially in warm climates where termites, ants, roaches, and mosquitoes are year-round problems. But the pricing gap between providers has widened significantly in 2026, with quarterly plans ranging from $40 to $80+ per visit for the same basic perimeter and interior treatment. One-time specialty treatments (termites, bed bugs, rodents) range from $150 to $500+. Most homeowners pick a provider and never compare again, leaving hundreds of dollars on the table annually.
