What pest control costs
General cost ranges for pest control in the Lexington area, and what moves the price.
What drives the price
Most general pest control is priced as an initial visit plus a recurring plan, and the recurring cost is usually modest. One-time and specialty jobs — termites, bed bugs, a large rodent problem — are priced separately and cost more because of the work involved.
The ranges below are general planning figures, not quotes. The provider you're connected with sets actual pricing after seeing the situation.
Typical ranges

|---|---|---|

| Termite treatment | $800–$3,000+ | Depends on method and home size |

The local pest picture
In central Kentucky, the pests that most often bring homeowners to call include ants, spiders, wasps and hornets, mice and rats moving indoors in fall, and termites — subterranean termites are active across the Bluegrass and are the reason many local homes carry ongoing termite protection.
Subterranean termites are an established, year-round risk across central Kentucky, and many Bluegrass-area homes carry ongoing termite protection for that reason.
