DIY vs professional
When it’s worth calling a pro
Some pests you can handle with a store-bought spray. Others - termites, bed bugs, recurring rodents - cost far more if a DIY attempt buys the infestation time to spread.
- Structural pests (termites, carpenter ants) → professional
- Health-risk pests (roaches, rodents, stinging insects) → professional
- A few visible ants or spiders → often DIY-friendly

Common questions
Pest control, answered
General pest control typically runs $100-$300 per visit, or about $40-$70 per month on a recurring plan. Specialized jobs - termites, bed bugs, wildlife - are priced separately. Our cost guide breaks down every service with sourced ranges.

Often, yes - for a few ants or the occasional spider. But structural and health-risk pests (termites, roaches, rodents, stinging insects) usually cost more in the long run if a DIY attempt lets them spread. See DIY vs professional.
