What affects the price
Determining the cost of pest control depends on a few key factors. Professionals look at the square footage of your home, the specific type of pest involved, and how long the infestation has been active. Recurring maintenance plans often cost less per visit than one-time intensive treatments. If the pest has caused structural damage or requires specialized equipment for hard-to-reach areas, the investment will be higher.
