How much does pest control cost for a typical home?

Many one-time residential visits land between $100 and $600. Monthly prevention plans often run $40–$75 per visit. Species, access, and follow-ups move the number.

Is a cheap one-time spray enough?

For a single outdoor pest sighting, maybe. Established German cockroach or termite problems usually need a multi-step plan, not a single spray.

Why do pest control quotes vary so much?

Species, access (walls/attic), home size, follow-up visits, and local labor rates all change the price. Ask what is included and what happens if pests return.
