Wasp nest, bed bugs, or a swarm right now?
- 1Do not spray a wasp or hornet nest yourself in daylight; agitated colonies sting in numbers and the nest usually survives.
- 2For bed bugs, stop moving mattresses and luggage between rooms right now: that is how one room becomes the whole house.
- 3For a termite swarm indoors, collect a few insects in a bag for identification and do not disturb the rest.
- 4Then call the companies above and ask specifically for same-day or next-day treatment availability.

What does pest control cost?
National research range
$100 to $300 per visit
Quarterly recurring service runs about $100 to $200 per visit; one-time treatments and specialty work like termites cost more. These are typical U.S. ranges from our research, not St Augustine-specific quotes; local prices vary with the job.
See the full Pest Control cost guideWhat moves the price
- One-time treatment versus a quarterly plan, which almost always costs less per visit.
- The pest itself: general ants and roaches sit at the low end, termites and bed bugs are their own category.
- Square footage and whether the crawlspace, attic, and yard perimeter are included.
- Follow-up visits: ask whether re-treatment inside the warranty window is free.
Ask each company to confirm these in writing before work starts. One free request above reaches up to three of them at once.
Pests St Augustine, FL companies actually treat
What a pest control company here gets called for, when it shows up, and which ones take an ongoing plan rather than a single visit. 4 of these 8 normally need recurring service.
Drywood termite control in St Augustine, FL
Drywood termites show up in window frames, door casings, wood trim and roof framing, anywhere bare or unfinished wood is exposed. The first sign most St Augustine homeowners notice is small piles of pellets, called frass, that look like fine sawdust pushed out of tiny holes in the wood.
Lives inside the wood with no soil contact, so ground treatments miss it entirely.
What treatment involves. Localized wood treatment, or fumigation when it is widespread.
Formosan termite control in St Augustine, FL
St Augustine's persistent humidity means the wood in your home rarely fully dries out, and Formosan termites exploit that by building satellite colonies inside walls and roof spaces without returning to the soil. That year-round moisture keeps conditions favorable well beyond the late-spring swarm season.
A far more aggressive subterranean termite with colonies in the millions.
What treatment involves. Whole-structure treatment. Spot treatment does not hold against this one.
Subterranean termite control in St Augustine, FL
St Augustine's humid conditions mean the soil around foundations stays moist for most of the year, which is exactly what subterranean termites need to stay active. Unlike pests you might spot indoors, they move through mud tubes along foundation walls and slabs, often going unnoticed until structural damage is already underway.
The most destructive structural pest in the country, working out of sight from the soil.
What treatment involves. Liquid soil barrier or a monitored bait system, plus an annual inspection.
German cockroach control in St Augustine, FL
German cockroaches concentrate in kitchens and bathrooms, hiding behind refrigerators, under sinks and inside cabinet hinges during the day. If you spot one in daylight, the population is likely already large enough to warrant a professional visit rather than a store-bought spray, which tends to scatter them rather than eliminate the source.
Breeds indoors fast and spreads between units, so a few become an infestation in weeks.
What treatment involves. Gel baiting with follow-up visits. One spray rarely finishes it.
Mice control in St Augustine, FL
Mice typically enter through gaps around utility lines, weep holes in brick and the corners of garage doors, then move into wall voids and attic insulation. Gnaw marks on baseboards, small dark droppings along walls and a faint musky odor are the usual first signs a homeowner notices before actually seeing one.
Comes indoors as it cools, and chews wiring and insulation once established.
What treatment involves. Exclusion first, sealing entry points, then trapping and monitoring.
Bed bug treatment in St Augustine, FL
Bed bugs are most often introduced through used furniture or luggage brought back from hotels and vacation rentals, which makes St Augustine's active tourism and short-term rental market a real transmission point. Check the seams of mattresses and the joints of bed frames first; small rust-colored stains on sheets are another early sign.
Arrives on luggage and furniture, not from poor housekeeping, and spreads room to room.
What treatment involves. Heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical program, with follow-up inspection.
Roof rat control in St Augustine, FL
Roof rats get into homes through gaps where utility lines enter the roofline, open soffits and spaces around HVAC penetrations. Scratching or rolling sounds in the attic at night, chewed citrus on the ground beneath trees and gnawed plastic on stored items are the signs most homeowners in St Augustine notice first.
Travels along roof lines and gets into attics, palms and citrus.
What treatment involves. Attic and roofline exclusion plus trapping. Baiting alone leaves the entry open.
Fire ant control in St Augustine, FL
Fire ants build mounds in open lawn areas, along sidewalk edges and against foundation slabs, and they will attack anything that disturbs the mound. The sting produces a sharp burning sensation followed by a raised white pustule, which makes quick identification straightforward even for first-time homeowners.
Aggressive stinging mounds in lawns and near foundations, a real risk with kids and pets.
What treatment involves. Broadcast bait across the yard plus individual mound treatment.
Pest control plans in St Augustine, FL, and what each one leaves out
Two quotes for pest control are rarely quoting the same thing. One covers ants and spiders four times a year, another includes rodents and free return visits, a third is a termite contract with a yearly renewal. Each service below has the one question that makes quotes comparable.
Recurring general pest plans
A technician treats the outside perimeter and the places pests get in, checks and refreshes bait stations where they are used, and treats inside only where there is activity. Most plans include return visits between scheduled services if covered pests come back.
Four of the pests covered on this page, German cockroaches, mice, roof rats and fire ants, typically require a recurring plan rather than a single visit because populations rebuild between treatments. A quarterly plan is the most common structure, and most include free return visits if any of those covered pests reappear before the next scheduled service.
What moves the price. Home and lot size, how many pests the plan covers, how often the visits are, and the first visit, which is usually heavier and priced higher than the routine ones that follow.
Ask before booking. Which pests does the plan cover, and which ones, such as termites, bed bugs, rodents or mosquitoes, cost extra?
The honest part. Most general plans leave out the expensive problems. Termites, bed bugs and rodent exclusion are usually separate contracts, so a low recurring price can be a plan for ants and spiders only. Read the exclusions before you compare prices.
Termite treatment, liquid or bait
A liquid treatment puts termiticide into the soil around and under the structure so termites cannot reach the wood. A bait system places monitored stations around the house that termites feed on and carry back to the colony. Many companies offer both, and some combine them.
Three termite species are active in this area, drywood, Formosan and subterranean, and they need different treatments. Drywood termites live entirely inside the wood, so a soil treatment does not reach them at all. Make sure the company identifies which species is present before proposing a treatment method, because the right approach depends entirely on that answer.
What moves the price. The structure's perimeter length, slab or crawlspace foundation, whether concrete has to be drilled, and for baits, the monitoring visits that continue after installation.
Ask before booking. Which method do you recommend for this house and why, and what does the warranty require me to keep paying each year?
The honest part. University of Florida research found baits eliminate the colonies that feed on them, while liquid barriers mainly keep termites out of the treated zone. A bait system only works while someone services it, so stations nobody checks protect nothing.
Termite warranties and renewals
After treatment most companies sell an annual renewal that keeps the warranty in force, with a yearly inspection. There are two kinds. Retreatment only means the company treats again if termites come back. Repair and retreatment also pays to fix new damage, up to a stated limit.
When comparing termite warranty quotes in St Augustine, ask each company to show you the actual warranty document, not just the summary sheet. Check whether the warranty is retreatment only or repair and retreatment, confirm exactly what voids coverage, and ask what happens if you miss an annual renewal, because a lapsed renewal typically voids the agreement entirely.
What moves the price. Which kind of warranty it is, the repair limit, the size of the structure, and whether it transfers to a buyer if you sell.
Ask before booking. Is this retreatment only, or does it pay to repair new damage, and up to what amount?
The honest part. A retreatment-only warranty leaves every repair bill with you, and standard homeowners policies exclude damage from insects, termites included. Ask for the warranty document itself rather than the sales sheet, and check what voids it, such as missed renewals or new construction against the house.
Termite inspection for a home sale
A wood destroying insect inspection documents evidence of termites and other wood-destroying insects, existing damage, and conditions that invite them, usually on the standard NPMA-33 form. VA loans require one where termite infestation probability is moderate to heavy, and many buyers order one either way.
If you are buying or selling a home in St Augustine, schedule the wood destroying insect inspection early enough that results come back before closing negotiations close. Ask whether the inspecting company also sells treatment, and if they find something significant, a second opinion on the treatment scope from a separate company is a reasonable step before committing to a large quote.
What moves the price. House size, crawlspace and attic access, detached structures, and how quickly the report is needed before closing.
Ask before booking. Will the report be on the form my lender accepts, and how long is it valid before closing?
The honest part. An inspection reports what is visible and reachable that day. It does not promise there are no termites behind finished walls, and a company that inspects and also sells the treatment has a reason to find something, so a second opinion on a large treatment quote is reasonable.
Rodent exclusion
Finding and sealing the gaps mice and rats use to get in, at the foundation, roof line, vents, garage doors and utility lines, then trapping what is already inside. Sealing is what ends the problem. Trapping alone only thins it out.
Both mice and roof rats are on the pest list for this area, and they use different entry points. Mice squeeze through gaps at the foundation and around utility lines at ground level, while roof rats enter higher up through roofline gaps and open soffits. A proper exclusion quote should address both levels and include the actual sealing work, not just trapping.
What moves the price. How many entry points there are, roof and attic access, the sealing materials, and the number of follow-up visits to check traps.
Ask before booking. Is sealing the entry points part of this quote, and is the work guaranteed if they get back in?
The honest part. Bait boxes on a recurring plan manage rodents outside but do not stop them coming in. If a quote has no sealing work in it, it is a monitoring service, not exclusion.
Mosquito and tick programs
A seasonal program that treats the shaded foliage where mosquitoes rest and the yard edges where ticks wait, and deals with standing water where mosquitoes breed. It is repeated through the season because each treatment wears off.
When comparing mosquito and tick program quotes in St Augustine, ask each company how many visits are included in the season and what triggers a return visit between scheduled treatments. Also confirm whether standing water sources on your property are part of the service, because treating resting areas without addressing breeding sites leaves a significant part of the problem in place.
What moves the price. Yard size, how much dense planting there is, the number of treatments in the season, and whether ticks are included.
Ask before booking. How many visits does the season include, and what do you do about standing water on my property?
The honest part. Barrier treatments reduce mosquitoes in the yard, they do not eliminate them, and mosquitoes from neighbouring yards keep arriving. Emptying standing water is the part that stops breeding, and you can do it yourself between visits.
One-time treatments
A single visit for a specific problem, such as a wasp nest, a pantry infestation or an isolated ant problem, without signing up for a plan.
A one-time visit is a practical choice for an isolated problem like a single wasp nest, a pantry moth infestation or a visible ant trail with no sign of a larger colony. Before booking, confirm with the company that your specific pest is one that a single visit can actually resolve, because committing to a one-time price for German cockroaches or bed bugs almost always means paying again.
What moves the price. The pest, how established it is, how many rooms or nests are involved, and whether a follow-up visit is included.
Ask before booking. Is a follow-up visit included if the problem comes back within a few weeks?
The honest part. One visit fits some pests and not others. German cockroaches, bed bugs and most ant colonies take follow-up visits to finish, so a one-time price for those usually means paying again.
What the St Augustine climate means for pests
- The climate here is humid for most of the year, and warm humid conditions favour cockroaches, termites and moisture pests, and there is no real seasonal break in activity.
Climate class from DOE Building America county zones.
Six checks before you sign a pest control contract
Pest control is a licensed trade, so the first check is a real one with the state. The rest are about what the contract commits you to, which matters more than the price on the first page.
Check the applicator license
Commercial pesticide application is regulated in every state, and in this state applicator certification is handled by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Ask the company for its license number and the name of the certified applicator, then confirm both with the state.
Find the agency's contact details (NPIC)Get an inspection before a termite or rodent price
A recurring plan can be quoted from the size of the house, but termite and rodent work cannot. A price given on the phone before anyone has looked at the foundation, attic and entry points is a guess.
Compare the first visit and the recurring price separately
The first service is usually heavier and priced higher than the routine visits that follow. Two plans with the same quarterly price can cost very different amounts in the first year.
Read the contract length and how to cancel
Many plans renew automatically or carry a minimum term. Ask how you cancel and whether any fee applies before you sign, not after the second visit.
Ask about free return visits
Most recurring plans send a technician back between scheduled services if covered pests return. Ask whether that is included and how soon they come out once you call.
Ask what product is being used
Ask for the product name, and follow the directions the technician gives you, which come from the product label, on when people and pets can go back into treated areas. The label, not a sales line, governs how a pesticide is used.

Frequently asked questions
Should I contact more than one St Augustine company?
Yes, and one request here does that work for you automatically. Up to three pros from this St Augustine list see your request at once, so you get multiple prices without filling out three separate forms. Comparing quotes also shows you differences in what each plan covers, not just the price, which matters more than most people expect before they sign anything.
What does a quarterly pest control plan cover?
A quarterly general pest plan covers the perimeter, entry points and interior activity, and most include free return visits if covered pests come back between scheduled services. The honest part is that four of the pests on this page, German cockroaches, mice, roof rats and fire ants, usually need a recurring plan, yet termites and bed bugs are almost always a separate contract with a separate price.
Does homeowners insurance cover termite damage?
Standard homeowners insurance excludes termite damage in virtually every policy, so the warranty your pest control company sells is the only financial protection you have. There are two kinds, retreatment only, which means the company treats again if termites return but leaves every repair bill with you, and repair and retreatment, which also covers new damage up to a stated dollar limit. Always ask for the actual warranty document.
Can I get a one-time pest control visit in St Augustine?
A one-time visit works well for an isolated problem like a wasp nest or a pantry infestation. However, German cockroaches, mice, roof rats and fire ants, four of the pests on this page, almost always need follow-up visits to actually finish the job. Bed bugs are the same way. If a company quotes a single visit for any of those, ask directly how they handle it when the problem is still there a week later.
What is a fair price for pest control in St Augustine?
Based on our research, a typical pest control visit in the US runs between $100 and $300, and the first visit is usually priced higher than the routine visits that follow. Your exact number depends on the pest, the size of your home and what the technician finds. Submit a free quote request on this page and up to three local pros will send you real numbers for your specific situation.
Does a VA loan require a termite inspection?
VA loans require a wood destroying insect inspection in areas where termite infestation probability is rated moderate to heavy, and many buyers order one regardless of loan type. The inspection documents evidence of termites and other wood-destroying insects on the standard NPMA-33 form. Keep in mind the report only covers what is visible and reachable on the day of the visit, not anything behind finished walls.
