Rodent control and treatment costs explained
Understanding the costs of professional rodent control can help you make an informed decision about protecting your home from rodents. Terminix provides comprehensive solutions for a range of common rodents, including rats, mice, bats, tree squirrels, and flying squirrels.
Rodent control costs depend on the specific type of rodent, the severity of the infestation, and more. A Terminix technician will assess your property and recommend a tailored treatment plan, which could include rodent removal and exclusion measures.
How Terminix calculates rodent control costs
Terminix calculates rodent control costs by considering several key factors to provide a customized solution for your home. These factors include the type of rodent, the extent of the infestation, the location, and the size of your property. By evaluating your unique situation, Terminix can offer an accurate exterminator cost and a tailored approach to help keep rodents away.
Our annual pest control plan, PestFree365, includes an interior and exterior inspection and protection from 25 common household pests, including rats and mice.1 Regularly scheduled treatments are a part of our ongoing pest protection plan, which can help detect problems early on and prevent rats and mice from returning. Terminix’s exclusion services2 for rodents can also help prevent future infestations by identifying and sealing potential entry points around your home. Both service costs can vary, but scheduling a free inspection will provide a personalized estimate based on your specific situation.
Type of rodent and extent of infestation
The type of rodent and the extent of the infestation are major factors in determining rodent control costs. Different rodents require specific treatment approaches, and larger infestations can require more extensive efforts. For example, dealing with a minor mouse problem typically involves less time and resources compared to a widespread rat infestation, which may require more labor, specialized equipment, and multiple visits.
Location
The location of the infestation can also impact rodent control costs because it affects the complexity and accessibility of the treatment. For instance, rodents in hard-to-reach areas such as attics, crawl spaces, or behind walls may require specialized equipment and more time to address.
Property size
The size of your property is another factor in rodent control costs because larger properties generally require more extensive treatments and monitoring efforts. A bigger property can mean more potential entry points, areas to inspect, and possibly more rodent activity. As a result, the treatment may need to cover a larger area, involve more materials, and require additional time and labor.
