Approximate Indoor Pest Treatment Costs
How Much Should Common Indoor Pest Control Procedures Cost
Matt Pastore
It is difficult to generalize when giving guidelines about pest control cost and pest removal cost. This is because getting rid of pests range from using salt and hot water to using bleach to using fumigation under a large tarp covering your home. There are treatments which require drilling holes in your foundation and pumping gallons of pesticide into it and the ground below as well as spraying around the interior and exterior of your house. The treatments are many and varied and the approximate cost is equally so.
The approximate indoor pest control cost depends on the square footage of your home, the type of foundation you have, whether your garage has been converted, whether you have an attic or basement and whether they are partially or completely built out. It matters if you have a swimming pool and how accessible your house and yard are. Then the price can vary depending on the type of treatment you select, the pest control delivery systems used, the type of warranty you want, and how often treatments will be required.
So given all of these factors about pest removal and extermination, it is impossible to come up with any type of standard pricing or general guidelines. You need to consider all of these factors in trying to come up with an approximate cost. But even then you may not be able to do so without having an expert to inspect your home and yard. It is always a good idea to get at least three such inspections and quotes. Most pest control companies will give you an estimate free of charge, unless you are buying or selling your house.
Finally, with the treatment of the insect infestation, you will also need to consider the cost of repairing any damages caused by the pests which there is bound to be some. Be sure that you call only reputable repair services to inspect your property. Check with the Better Business Bureau and state agencies to make sure the service is licensed and properly trained and does not have any unresolved complaints against it. Also check for a list of chemicals exterminators use before allowing them to be used in your home. You can also check where to buy pest control chemicals if the job can be done without the use of a professional exterminator.
