Free Pest Control Cost Calculator

How to Use Our Pest Control Cost Calculator

Step 1: Choose Property Details: Select the property type—single-family home, apartment, or commercial building—and enter its size (in square feet or square meters).

Step 2: Enter Infestation Details: Check off the pests you’re dealing with, such as ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, rodents, or termites. Then, select the severity of the infestation: low, medium, or high.

Step 3: Provide Additional Details: Include whether the property has had previous treatments (none, partial, or full) and the accessibility level (easy, moderate, or difficult).

Step 4: View Your Results: As you enter the details, the calculator automatically updates with an estimated cost range for your pest control services. While your actual price may vary based on local rates and treatment methods, this tool gives you a solid starting point for your estimates.

How Do I Determine the Cost of Pest Control?

Pricing pest control services isn’t always straightforward—but getting it right is key to running a profitable, efficient business. Your prices should reflect labor, equipment, chemicals, and the complexity of each job while staying competitive.

By building a structured pricing model based on measurable factors like property size, pest type, and severity, you can deliver transparent, consistent estimates to your customers—without the guesswork.

How to Calculate Pest Control Cost

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, but a simple formula can help standardize your pricing:

Base Cost + (Property Size × Rate per sq. ft.) × Multipliers (pest type, severity, accessibility, previous treatments) = Total Cost

Example Pest Control Cost Breakdown

Here’s how you can apply the multipliers to calculate an estimate:

Property Type

• Single-Family Home = 1.0x (no adjustment)
• Apartment = 0.8x (reduces cost by 20%)
• Commercial Building = 1.5x (adds 50%)

Pest Type

• Ants = 1.0x
• Bed Bugs = 1.3x (adds 30%)
• Cockroaches = 1.2x (adds 20%)
• Rodents = 1.1x (adds 10%)
• Termites = 1.8x (adds 80%)

Severity

• Low = 1.0x
• Medium = 1.25x (adds 25%)
• High = 1.5x (adds 50%)

Previous Treatment

• None = 1.0x
• Partial = 0.9x (reduces cost by 10%)
• Full = 0.8x (reduces cost by 20%)

Accessibility

• Easy = 1.0x
• Moderate = 1.1x (adds 10%)
• Difficult = 1.3x (adds 30%)

Real-World Example

You get a call from Mrs. Jones about a severe bed bug infestation in her apartment. She’s never had bed bugs before, but her apartment is cluttered and hard to access.

For this estimate, you’re using the following pricing model:

• Base Rate: $50
• Rate per sq. ft.: $0.25
• Apartment Size: 500 sq. ft.

Step 1 $50 + ($0.25 × 500) = $175 Apply the apartment multiplier (0.8): $175 × 0.8 = $140

Step 2 Apply the bed bug multiplier (1.3): $140 × 1.3 = $182

Step 3 Apply the high severity multiplier (1.5): $182 × 1.5 = $273

Step 4 Apply the difficult accessibility multiplier (1.3): $273 × 1.3 = $354.90

Since there’s no previous treatment, no adjustment is needed. You give Mrs. Jones an estimate of $354.90 (±10%) for the job.
