Wasp nest, bed bugs, or a swarm right now?
- 1Do not spray a wasp or hornet nest in daylight; colonies sting in numbers and survive.
- 2For bed bugs, stop moving mattresses and luggage between rooms, which spreads them house-wide.
- 3For a termite swarm indoors, bag a few insects for identification and leave the rest.
- 4Then call the companies above and ask for same-day or next-day treatment.

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. U.S. research ranges, not Dallas quotes.
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 companies to confirm these in writing. One request above reaches up to three.
Common pests in Dallas
What companies here get called for. 6 of these 8 usually need a recurring plan.
Subterranean termites
Humid conditions for most of the year mean the ground stays moist enough for subterranean termites to keep working long after spring swarms fade. In Dallas there is no cold season that shuts them down, so a yearly inspection matters even when you see nothing.
What treatment involves. Liquid soil barrier or a monitored bait system, plus an annual inspection.
German cockroaches
In a Dallas home, German roaches gather in kitchens and bathrooms, near the dishwasher, under sinks, and behind the fridge. Small dark droppings and a musty smell give them away. Start by cleaning up crumbs and grease and fixing drips, then call a pro.
What treatment involves. Gel baiting with follow-up visits. One spray rarely finishes it.
Mice
Mice slip through gaps as small as a dime. In Dallas homes, check the garage door seals, the gaps around pipes under sinks, and the pantry. Droppings in drawers and gnawed food boxes give them away. Seal what you can find and call a pro.
What treatment involves. Exclusion first, sealing entry points, then trapping and monitoring.
Bed bugs
Dallas travelers and renters can bring bed bugs home from hotels, used furniture, or shared walls. Look for tiny blood spots on sheets and dark specks along mattress seams and headboards. Wash bedding hot, keep items in place, and call a pro before moving anything.
What treatment involves. Heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical program, with follow-up inspection.
Roof rats
In Dallas, roof rats are heard before they are seen, with scratching in the attic at night. Look for gnawed fruit, greasy rub marks along rafters, and droppings near vents. Trim branches that touch your roof and call a pro for sealing.
What treatment involves. Attic and roofline exclusion plus trapping. Baiting alone leaves the entry open.
Fire ants
Humid conditions for most of the year keep Dallas lawns damp enough for fire ant colonies to stay active across a long stretch of the calendar. After rain, new mounds appear fast. Keep kids and pets off the yard and do not disturb a mound.
What treatment involves. Broadcast bait across the yard plus individual mound treatment.
Scorpions
In Dallas, scorpions hide in woodpiles, under landscaping rocks, and around plumbing gaps. Indoors, shake out shoes and check bedding before use. A blacklight shows them glowing at night, which helps a Dallas homeowner find where they come in.
What treatment involves. Perimeter treatment plus sealing at plumbing and weep holes.
Mosquitoes
Dallas mosquitoes breed in flower pot saucers, clogged gutters, bird baths, and kids' toys that hold water. Walk your yard once a week and tip out anything that pools. Bites on ankles at dusk point to breeding spots close to your back door.
What treatment involves. Source reduction plus barrier treatment on resting sites, repeated through the season.
Pest control plans and what they cover
Two pest control quotes rarely cover the same thing. Each service below has the one question that makes quotes comparable.
Recurring general pest plans
A technician treats the outside perimeter and entry points, refreshes bait stations, and treats inside only where pests are active. Most plans include free return visits.
Six of the eight pests most common in Dallas usually need a recurring plan. That includes German cockroaches, mice, roof rats, fire ants, scorpions, and mosquitoes. Compare what each quote covers for those pests, then ask which ones are left out.
What moves the price. Home size, which pests are covered, how often visits come, and the heavier first visit.
Ask before booking. Which pests does the plan cover, and which ones, like termites or rodents, cost extra?
The honest part. Most general plans leave out the expensive problems. Termites, bed bugs and rodent exclusion are usually separate contracts, so read the exclusions before comparing prices.
Termite treatment, liquid or bait
A liquid treatment puts termiticide in the soil so termites cannot reach the wood. A bait system uses monitored stations that termites carry back to the colony.
Subterranean termites are the one termite on this state's list, so your choice is between a liquid soil barrier and a monitored bait system. Ask each Dallas company which it would use on your house and why. Get the inspection findings in writing first.
What moves the price. The perimeter length, slab or crawlspace, any concrete drilling, and the bait monitoring visits after.
Ask before booking. Which method suits this house, and what does the warranty require me to pay each year?
The honest part. University of Florida research found baits eliminate the colonies that feed on them, while liquids mainly keep termites out. Bait stations nobody services protect nothing.
Termite warranties and renewals
An annual renewal keeps the warranty in force with a yearly inspection. Retreatment-only means treating again; repair-and-retreatment also pays for new damage up to a limit.
Before you sign, ask for the warranty document and read what voids it. Compare retreatment-only against repair-and-retreatment, since only the second helps pay for new damage. Ask what the yearly renewal costs and what the annual inspection includes.
What moves the price. The warranty type, its repair limit, the size of the structure, and whether it transfers on sale.
Ask before booking. Is this retreatment only, or does it pay to repair new damage, and up to what amount?
The honest part. With retreatment only, every repair bill is yours, and homeowners policies exclude termite damage. Ask for the warranty document itself and what voids it.
Termite inspection for a home sale
A wood destroying insect inspection documents termite evidence, damage and conducive conditions, usually on the NPMA-33 form. VA loans require one in moderate to heavy termite areas.
Book the inspection early enough that any findings can be handled before closing. Ask who performs it, and whether that company also sells treatment. Get the NPMA-33 report in writing, and ask the inspector to point out any conducive conditions around your foundation.
What moves the price. House size, crawlspace and attic access, detached structures, and how fast the report is needed.
Ask before booking. Will the report be on the form my lender accepts, and how long does it stay valid?
The honest part. An inspection covers what is visible that day, not what sits behind finished walls. A company that also sells the treatment has a reason to find something.
Rodent exclusion
Finding and sealing the gaps mice and rats use at the foundation, roof line, vents and utility lines, then trapping what is inside. Sealing ends the problem.
Mice and roof rats are the two rodents on this state's list, and they get in differently. Mice come through low foundation gaps, while roof rats use the roof line and attic. Make sure your quote covers both ground level and the roof.
What moves the price. The number of entry points, roof and attic access, sealing materials, and follow-up trap checks.
Ask before booking. Is sealing the entry points in 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. A quote without sealing work is monitoring, not exclusion.
Mosquito and tick programs
A seasonal program treats the shaded foliage where mosquitoes rest and the yard edges where ticks wait, and clears standing water. Each treatment wears off, so it repeats.
Mosquitoes are the one pest on this state's list that a seasonal program targets. Ask how many treatments the season includes and how far apart they fall. Dump standing water around your own yard, since that part is free and does the most.
What moves the price. Yard size, how much dense planting there is, the number of visits, and whether ticks are included.
Ask before booking. How many visits does the season include, and what do you do about standing water here?
The honest part. Barrier treatments reduce mosquitoes but do not eliminate them, and neighbouring yards keep supplying more. Emptying standing water stops breeding, and you can do it yourself.
One-time treatments
A single visit for one specific problem, such as a wasp nest, a pantry infestation or an isolated ant trail, without signing up for a recurring plan.
A one-time visit suits a wasp nest, a pantry infestation, or one ant trail. Ask the company whether the price includes a return visit if the pest comes back. If it does not, compare that cost against a plan before you decide.
What moves the price. The pest, how established it is, how many rooms or nests are involved, and any follow-up.
Ask before booking. Is a follow-up visit included if the problem comes back within a few weeks?
The honest part. One visit suits some pests and not others. German cockroaches, bed bugs and most ant colonies need follow-ups, so a one-time price there usually means paying again.
What the Dallas 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 start with the state license. The rest is what the contract commits you to.
Check the applicator license
Applicator certification here is handled by the Texas Department of Agriculture. Ask for the license number and the certified applicator's name, then confirm both.
Find the agency's contact details (NPIC)Get an inspection before a termite or rodent price
Plans can be quoted from house size, but termite and rodent work cannot. A phone price before anyone inspects the house is a guess.
Compare the first visit and the recurring price separately
The first service usually costs more than routine visits, so two equal quarterly prices can mean very different totals 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 a fee applies before you sign, not after.
Ask about free return visits
Most plans send a technician back between services if covered pests return. Ask whether that is included and how soon they come.
Ask what product is being used
Ask for the product name, and follow the technician's directions from its label on when people and pets can go back into treated areas.
When to book pest control in Dallas
Spring
Termite swarm season and ant season kick off; the best month for a preventive perimeter treatment.
Summer
Peak mosquitoes, wasps, and roaches; recurring plans earn their keep now.
Fall
Rodents move indoors as nights cool; seal entry points before the first cold week.
Winter
Quietest booking season; good time to negotiate an annual plan.
How to choose a pest control company in Dallas
Look at the review count next to the stars. Haven Pest Solutions and The CanMan Pest Control both hold 5.0 stars on 367 and 308 reviews. A tenth of a point matters less than hundreds of extra customers behind a score, so weigh both numbers together.
