Pest Control

The average cost pest control companies charge ranges between $150-$500+. It can vary according to some factors like:

1. Level of infestation.
2. What kind of infestation is there.
3. What’s the location and size of your house.
4. What kind of billing structure company follows.
5. On what day or time, you’re availing the services.
6. What an amount of labor goes into the job.

And many more. Here are some common price examples:

Insects: The cost depends on how long you want the effect of pest control measures to stay. For example, the cost of keeping it insect free for 90 days lies between $50 to $70 while the cost of keeping it insect free for a year would range between $200 to $500.

Rodents: You will have to pay $75 to $100 for pest control for rodents.

Animals: It is difficult to mention the average cost for this as the cost depends upon the difficulty of the task. Where’s the animal located? How many are there? Is it a dangerous animal? Is there any possibility of injury during removal of the pest? Snakes can be poisonous, bats can cause rabies and so on. Sometimes, you might even need to call a professional animal removal company instead of a pest control professional.

Ask For The License – Because hiring a company without the license is like inviting trouble for a meal.

Ask For Proof Of Insurance – Who would handle paying the damage a technician might accidentally cause to your property?

Business Stability – Choose a company that has been in business for a long time.

Check Online Reviews – Because companies may over promise, but their past clients can tell you exactly what they do and don’t do.

References – If you want to be a little more sure about hiring that particular company, ask for direct references and then consult those people about hiring.

24-hour Emergency Service – Though it is rare to have a home that gets flooded by pests in an hour, still you must inquire if you can avail services on an emergency basis or not.

Over The Phone Pricing – Don’t go for it unless you want to be overcharged.

Free Estimates – Ask for the estimate before finalizing a company.

Safety Record – Prefer a company and serviceman that has a good safety record.

Satisfaction Guarantee – If the company provides a satisfaction guarantee, they would be happy to revisit and redo the work for a month or so until your house is infestation free.

Cleanup – Ask them who would handle cleaning up whatever mess that gets accumulated while doing the job.
