How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the company, ranked against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from over a thousand people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers still leave reviews. A higher rating can rank lower when fewer people have rated it. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What shapes the price of pest control?

Pest control costs depend on the pest, the size of the property, whether the job is a one-time treatment or a recurring plan, and how much sealing, cleanup or follow-up is involved. Rodent exclusion and termite work are priced differently from a quarterly spray. Ask for a written scope and whether follow-up visits are included.

  • Do you serve my address, and is there a travel charge?

  • Which pest is it, and is this a one-time job or a recurring plan?
