How Much Does an Exterminator Cost? Factors That Impact the Price
Dealing with pests in your home or business is more than just a hassle—it’s a necessity for health, safety, and peace of mind. Whether it’s mice, termites, or bed bugs, a professional exterminator can help eliminate infestations and prevent future ones.
But how much does an exterminator cost? The answer depends on several factors, including the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, and the service plan you choose. In this guide, we’ll break down industry pricing, what impacts exterminator costs, and how AMCO Ranger provides competitive, all-inclusive pest control solutions.
Average Cost of an Exterminator
Pest control pricing varies depending on location, service frequency, and the type of pests being treated. Below is a general industry pricing breakdown for common extermination services:
- General pest control (ants, roaches, spiders, etc.): $40–$100 per month
- Rodent control (mice, rats, voles, etc.): $50–$150 per month
- Termite treatments: $500–$3,000 (one-time or annual coverage)
- Bed bug extermination: $300–$5,000 (depending on infestation severity)
- Mosquito control: $50–$100 per month (seasonal)
These costs can fluctuate based on your home’s size, the type of treatments used, and whether emergency services are required.

Factors That Affect Exterminator Costs
1. Type of Pest
Not all pests require the same treatment. Some, like ants or spiders, can be managed with regular spray treatments, while others, like termites and bed bugs, need specialized solutions that drive up costs. Termite and bed bug treatments tend to be the most expensive, often requiring heat treatments, baiting systems, or fumigation.
2. Severity of Infestation
A minor infestation may only require a single treatment, while a severe problem could take multiple visits. Larger infestations often require follow-up treatments, leading to higher costs. That’s why AMCO Ranger’s bi-monthly service plans ensure that infestations don’t get out of control.
3. Treatment Method
Pest control treatments range from chemical sprays and bait stations to eco-friendly solutions and exclusion techniques. More advanced, eco-friendly treatments tend to cost more, but they offer long-term protection with minimal environmental impact.

4. Frequency of Service
- One-time treatments for common pests typically cost $150–$400.
- Quarterly plans range from $300–$600 per year.
- Monthly or bi-monthly plans, like AMCO Ranger’s Ultimate, Silver, and Gold packages, provide consistent protection and better long-term savings.
5. Home Size and Location
Larger homes require more product and labor, increasing costs. Additionally, pest control prices vary by region—urban areas tend to have higher service costs than rural areas due to demand.
6. Emergency vs. Scheduled Services
Emergency pest control services often cost 1.5x–2x more than scheduled visits. For example, a same-day bed bug treatment could cost upwards of $1,000, whereas scheduling a routine service can be much more affordable.

How AMCO Ranger’s Pricing Compares to the Industry
Many national pest control companies charge $75–$150 per month for general pest control, often covering fewer pests than AMCO Ranger’s Ultimate Plan at just $55/month. Additionally, other companies charge separate fees for rodents and termites, while AMCO Ranger includes them in our Silver and Gold Plans.
