What affects the price?

  • Severity. A light, early problem costs far less than a heavy, established one.
  • Home size. More square footage means more product and time.
  • Access & follow-up. Hard-to-reach areas and repeat visits add to the total.
  • Warranty. Quotes that include re-treatments or a written warranty are usually higher, but often better value.

What the price should buy you

A quote worth comparing comes with a plan attached. The EPA fact sheet on choosing a pest control company says any company — including one advertising itself as green — should inspect the premises and set out the pests to be controlled, the extent of the problem, the active ingredients in the pesticide chosen, the potential adverse health effects and typical symptoms of poisoning associated with them, the form of the pesticide and application technique, the nonchemical alternatives available, and what you must do to reduce your exposure. A cheaper number attached to none of that is not a cheaper job.
