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 Lexington-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 Lexington, SC 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. 5 of these 8 normally need recurring service.
Formosan termite control in Lexington, SC
Formosan termites often show up first as discarded wings near windows or light fixtures after an evening swarm. If you spot that, bag a few insects for identification and leave the rest alone. Call a Lexington pro for a full inspection before you touch anything.
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 Lexington, SC
Lexington's humid summers keep soil moist, which is exactly what subterranean termites need to stay active and tunnel toward wood. Drier winters slow them but don't end the threat. That's why a yearly inspection matters, even in the months you see nothing.
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 Lexington, SC
German cockroaches hide in kitchens and bathrooms, especially behind appliances, under sinks, and inside cabinet hinges. Seeing one in daylight often means there are many more. Clean up crumbs and fix leaks, then ask a Lexington pro about a baiting and follow-up plan.
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 Lexington, SC
Lexington's dry winters and cooler nights send mice looking for warm, sheltered spots, and your garage, attic, and kitchen cabinets fit the bill. Scratching in walls or droppings near the pantry are early signs. Seal gaps before the first cold snap.
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 Lexington, SC
Bed bugs hide in mattress seams, headboards, and bed frames, and tiny dark spots on sheets are a common giveaway. If you suspect them, don't move bedding or luggage between rooms. Wash nothing yet, and call a Lexington pro for a proper inspection first.
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 Lexington, SC
Roof rats climb, so look for them in attics, along fence tops, and where tree limbs touch your roof. Scratching overhead at night is a common clue. Trim branches back from the house and ask a Lexington pro to check the roofline for entry gaps.
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 Lexington, SC
Fire ants build mounds of loose, crumbly soil in sunny lawns, along driveways, and near foundations. Never step on one or poke it, especially with kids and pets nearby. Mark the spot and have a Lexington pro treat the whole yard, not just one mound.
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.
Mosquito control in Lexington, SC
Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so check flowerpot saucers, clogged gutters, birdbaths, and tarps around your Lexington yard. Dump anything holding water every few days. That one habit cuts breeding right where your family spends time outside.
Breeds in standing water within a few feet of where people are bitten.
What treatment involves. Source reduction plus barrier treatment on resting sites, repeated through the season.
Pest control plans in Lexington, SC, 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.
In Lexington, 5 of the 8 most common pests, including German cockroaches, mice, roof rats, fire ants, and mosquitoes, usually need a recurring plan. Before you sign, check which of those the plan actually covers, because many leave some out.
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.
Lexington homes face both Formosan and subterranean termites, and Formosan colonies can be much larger. Ask the inspector which species they found and why they recommend liquid, bait, or both. Get the plan and the inspection report in writing.
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.
Ask for the warranty document itself, not the sales sheet, and read what voids it, such as a missed renewal. Find out whether it covers retreatment only or repairs too. Compare that fine print across your Lexington quotes, not just the yearly renewal fee.
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.
Order the inspection early enough that any findings don't squeeze your closing date. Ask for the standard NPMA-33 form and read it closely. If a Lexington company that inspects also sells treatment and hands you a big quote, get a second opinion.
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.
Lexington deals with both mice and roof rats, and they get in differently. Mice use low gaps at the foundation, while roof rats use the roofline and attic. Ask any Lexington pro to show you every entry point they plan to seal.
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.
Mosquitoes are the main warm-season concern on this list for Lexington, and each treatment wears off, so a program runs repeated visits. Ask how many visits are planned and when they start. Emptying standing water between visits boosts the results.
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 suits a wasp nest or a single ant trail in your Lexington home, with no contract needed. For roaches, bed bugs, or big ant colonies, ask whether follow-up visits are included, or you may end up paying twice.
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 Lexington climate means for pests
- The climate here is humid in summer and dry in winter, and pressure is seasonal, building through humid summers and pushing indoors as the weather turns.
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 Clemson University's Department of Pesticide Regulation. 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.

Winter
Quietest booking season; good time to negotiate an annual plan.

Frequently asked questions
What time of year is best to start pest control?
Start in spring, when termite swarms and ants show up first, and a preventive perimeter treatment works best then. Lexington's humid summers push roaches, wasps, and mosquitoes to their peak. Mice move indoors in fall and winter as nights cool. Winter is the quietest booking season, so it's a good time to set up an annual plan.
Do these companies cover areas near Lexington?
Many homeowners near Lexington ask this, and the answer depends on the company. Each of these businesses sets its own service area, so one that works in town may not drive out to every part of Lexington County. The easiest way to find out is to send your address in the free quote request, since up to 3 pros will reply.
How do I check a pest control company's license in Lexington?
Ask the company for its pesticide applicator license number and the name of the certified applicator, then confirm both with the state regulator linked further down this page. Ask whether the technicians who visit your home are certified too, not just the owner. Reputable companies hand over this information without any fuss.
How do termite bait stations work?
Bait stations are placed around your house, and termites feed on the bait and carry it back to their colony. University of Florida research found baits eliminate the colonies that feed on them, while liquid barriers mainly keep termites out of the treated soil. Both target subterranean and Formosan termites, and neither is guaranteed. Baits only work if someone services the stations.
Does homeowners insurance cover termite damage?
Usually not. Standard homeowners policies exclude insect damage, termites included, so repair bills often land on you. A termite warranty may help, but check which kind you have. A retreatment-only warranty just pays to treat again, while a repair and retreatment warranty also covers new damage up to a stated limit.
How are pest control prices set in Lexington?
Pest control typically runs about $100 to $300 per visit across the U.S. In Lexington the final number depends on the pest, since ants and roaches cost less than termites or bed bugs. A quarterly plan usually costs less per visit than a one-time treatment. Square footage and follow-up visits matter too. One free request gets you exact local prices.
