Los Angeles Pest Control & Extermination Services

A one-time general treatment typically runs anywhere from $150 to $400. Termites and bed bugs cost more, sometimes $500 to $2,000 depending on the severity. Ongoing quarterly plans usually work out cheaper per visit and keep problems from coming back.

The only way to get an accurate number is to call and describe what you’re dealing with. The final price depends on the pest, the size of your property, and how bad the infestation is.

Los Angeles has pest activity year-round thanks to its warm climate. The most common calls we get are for Argentine ants, German and American cockroaches, drywood and subterranean termites, roof rats, bed bugs, black widow spiders, and the invasive Aedes mosquito.

Drywood termites are a particular concern in LA because they infest wood directly — no soil contact needed — and cause serious structural damage before most homeowners notice anything is wrong. If you’re seeing something you don’t recognize, just call and describe it, we should be able to tell you what it is immediately.

Yes. The products used are approved for residential use and safe when applied correctly by a licensed technician. You may be asked to keep kids and pets out of treated areas for a short period (a couple of hours or so) while things dry.

Your technician will always tell you exactly what to expect before starting work. If you have specific concerns about allergies or sensitivities, let us know when you call and we’ll make sure the right products are used.

It depends on what you’re dealing with. Some jobs are done in a single visit, like a wasp nest, a minor ant problem, a rodent entry point sealed and baited. Others take more time.

Termites and bed bugs almost always need follow-up treatments to make sure the whole infestation is gone. Your technician will give you a straight answer after the inspection. There’s no point paying for extra treatments you don’t need, and we won’t push them on you.

Yes. A lot of homeowners don’t wait for a problem to show up before calling, they’d rather deal with it before it starts. Preventative treatments create a barrier around your home that stops pests getting in before they become a real issue.

Quarterly plans are the most popular option in LA because there’s no real off-season here. The climate keeps pests active all year, so year-round coverage just makes sense. It’s almost always cheaper to prevent than to treat, especially when it comes to drywood termites or roof rats where the damage can get expensive fast.

For very minor problems, DIY products from the hardware store can sometimes buy you time. But they rarely fix the root cause. Argentine ants come back because the colony is still outside. Roof rats find another way in. Bed bugs hide in places sprays can’t reach.

DIY is fine for the odd spider or occasional ant trail. For anything more serious, especially termites, bed bugs, or a rodent infestation, a professional treatment is almost always more effective and cheaper in the long run.

Yes. Not every home has the same problem, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t make sense. When you call, a technician will assess your property, identify what’s present and what conditions are making it worse, and put together a plan based on that. Some people need a single treatment. Others benefit from a regular schedule that keeps their home protected throughout the year. Either way, you’ll get a clear recommendation and a straight answer on what it’ll cost before anything gets started.
