Most pest control websites answer the cost question with “call for a quote” — which is technically true and completely unhelpful when you're trying to budget. So here's the straight version: the typical price ranges we see across the Georgia market in 2026, what pushes a job toward the high or low end, and the questions that make quotes actually comparable.
These are typical market ranges for Georgia, not our price list — every home is different, which is exactly why our inspections and quotes are free. Use these numbers to spot outliers in either direction.
General pest control
- One-time treatment: roughly $150–$400. A single interior/exterior service, usually with a short warranty window (ours is 30 days). The wide range mostly reflects home size and how established the problem is.
- Quarterly plans: roughly $100–$160 per visit, with the first (deeper) visit often priced higher. Spread out, that's in the neighborhood of $35–$55 a month for year-round coverage — the format most Georgia homes end up on, because it's cheaper per visit than repeated one-timers and includes free re-treats between visits.
- Heavy German roach cleanouts: often $300–$600+. An established indoor roach infestation takes multiple visits of baiting and growth-regulator work — it's a project, not a spray, and honest companies price it that way. (More on why in our roach control playbook.)
Termite work
- Inspections: often free from local companies (ours are), though some firms charge a service fee. Formal real-estate paperwork — the Official Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report — commonly runs about $50–$150.
- Liquid barrier treatment: commonly $1,000–$3,000 for a typical home, usually priced per linear foot of foundation (often quoted around $4–$16/ft depending on construction). Slab homes, finished basements, and hard-to-trench foundations sit at the higher end.
- Ongoing protection/bond renewals: commonly $250–$500 per year, buying annual inspections and retreatment coverage. Compare that to termite repairs — routinely in the thousands and not covered by homeowners insurance — and this is the rare bill that's genuinely cheap for what it prevents.
What moves the price up or down
- Home size and foundation type — more linear footage and crawl-space access time cost more; slab trenching/drilling changes termite pricing.
- Severity — intercepting the season's first ant trail is a different job than a years-old infestation.
- The pest itself — a wasp nest knockdown, a fire-ant yard program, and a German roach cleanout are all priced differently for good reason.
- Frequency — recurring plans get better per-visit pricing because prevention is genuinely cheaper to deliver than rescue.
Questions that make quotes comparable
- What happens if pests come back between visits? The right answer is “we return free.” A plan without free callbacks isn't a plan.
- Is the interior included when I need it? Some low quotes are exterior-only, always.
- Am I signing a contract, and what does leaving cost? Watch for 12-month agreements with cancellation fees quietly attached to a teaser price.
- For termite quotes: what exactly is covered, retreatment or damage? The difference matters enormously and hides in the paperwork.
- Who actually shows up? A local company sends the same technicians who were there last quarter; the cheapest national quote often comes with a rotating cast.
The bottom line
Budget roughly $100–$160 a visit for quarterly protection, expect four figures (once) for a real termite treatment, and treat any quote dramatically outside these ranges — in either direction — as a reason to ask more questions. When you want a real number instead of a range, that's what the free inspection is for: we look at your actual house, tell you what's going on, and quote it before any work begins. That's how it works everywhere in our Metro Atlanta service area.
