Why we post real prices

A lot of pest control advertising in Houston leads with a low teaser number and a contract, then the real cost arrives once a technician is standing in your kitchen. We post ranges instead because a homeowner deciding between mosquito plans should be able to compare before anyone knocks on the door. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice, and if the infestation turns out worse than described, we tell you what changes and why before we treat. Recurring plans run month to month or quarter to quarter, and you can cancel when the problem is solved.

How these ranges are set

These ranges reflect real jobs across Greater Houston. Heavy or established infestations, large lots, mosquito-pressured bay-adjacent properties, and whole-home heat treatment trend toward the upper end; a single targeted visit on a small home trends lower. Texas requires every pest control business to hold a license through the Structural Pest Control Service at the Texas Department of Agriculture and the applicator to be certified. We are licensed and insured, and we will share the license number and a certificate of insurance on request before any treatment.

Common questions

How much does pest control cost in Houston?

A first general pest control visit usually runs $135 to $225, with recurring quarterly service around $95 to $165. Mosquito service runs $80 to $150 per visit, rodent control with exclusion runs $275 to $650, and termite treatment runs $1,000 to $2,800 or more. We quote the real number before we treat.

Is a one-time treatment enough, or do I need a recurring plan?

It depends on the pest. A one-time visit can knock down a sudden ant trail or a single wasp nest. But mosquitoes, roaches, and the long Houston summer push come back without a maintained perimeter, so most homes here do better on a quarterly plan that keeps the barrier intact. We will tell you honestly when a one-time visit is all you need.

Do you lock me into a long contract?

No. Recurring plans run month to month or quarter to quarter, and you can cancel once the problem is handled. We would rather keep you because the service works than because a contract traps you. Any minimum term on a specialty treatment, like a termite warranty, is spelled out in writing before you sign.

Why does mosquito service cost separately from general pest control?

Mosquitoes need a different treatment - foliage and harborage on the yard plus standing-water source reduction - rather than the perimeter seal and treat that handles ants and roaches. That is a separate visit and a separate product, which is why mosquito service is priced on its own. Bundling it into a quarterly general plan usually does not give the yard the every-three-to-four-week cadence the Houston mosquito population actually needs.

Can you give me a price before you come out?

For general service, mosquito work, and most roach jobs, yes - the posted range covers most homes and we narrow it with a few questions about size and severity. Termite treatment and whole-home bed bug heat depend on an inspection, so we confirm the exact number after we see the structure and before we begin any work.

Are the products safe for kids and pets?

We carry low-toxicity and targeted options and we apply them where pests travel rather than broadcasting across living space. Tell us about kids, pets, and anyone with sensitivities when you book, and we will choose products and placement accordingly. We will also tell you any re-entry interval to wait after a given treatment.
