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 Garland 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 Garland
What companies here get called for. 6 of these 8 usually need a recurring plan.
Subterranean termites
Garland's humid conditions for most of the year suit subterranean termites, because they depend on moist soil to survive. With no real seasonal break in activity, damage can build quietly in any month. Schedule an inspection instead of waiting for a spring swarm to show itself.
What treatment involves. Liquid soil barrier or a monitored bait system, plus an annual inspection.
German cockroaches
Check under kitchen and bathroom sinks, behind the refrigerator, and inside cabinet corners near plumbing. Small dark specks and a musty smell are common giveaways. Start by cleaning up food and water sources and sealing gaps around pipes, then call a pro, since these hide in tight spots.
What treatment involves. Gel baiting with follow-up visits. One spray rarely finishes it.
Mice
Mice often turn up in garages, pantries, and the cabinets under your sink. Droppings, gnawed packaging, and scratching in the walls at night are the usual clues. Before you set traps, walk your foundation and look for gaps about the width of a pencil.
What treatment involves. Exclusion first, sealing entry points, then trapping and monitoring.
Bed bugs
Look for small dark spots on mattress seams, tiny rusty stains on sheets, and bites in a line on skin. They hide in headboards, baseboards, and couch seams. Wash bedding on high heat and avoid moving items between rooms until a pro has inspected.
What treatment involves. Heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical program, with follow-up inspection.
Roof rats
Roof rats nest high, so listen for scratching in your attic or ceiling at night and look for gnawed wires or greasy rub marks along rafters. Trim tree limbs that touch your roof and check vents and rooflines for gaps. Fix entry points before any trapping.
What treatment involves. Attic and roofline exclusion plus trapping. Baiting alone leaves the entry open.
Fire ants
Garland's humid conditions keep soil moist and workable for fire ants, so mounds can pop up in lawns, flower beds, and along foundations with little seasonal break. Walk your yard after rain, watch where kids and pets play, and never poke a mound.
What treatment involves. Broadcast bait across the yard plus individual mound treatment.
Scorpions
Scorpions hide by day in cool, dark spots like shoes, laundry piles, woodpiles, and gaps around plumbing. Shake out shoes and bedding before use, and clear stacked wood and debris from along your foundation. Seal the cracks near pipes and weep holes.
What treatment involves. Perimeter treatment plus sealing at plumbing and weep holes.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes breed in standing water you may overlook, like flower pot saucers, clogged gutters, birdbaths, and old tires. Walk your yard weekly and dump anything holding water. They rest in shaded, leafy spots, so trimming dense shrubs near patios also helps.
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 on this page, including German cockroaches, mice, roof rats, fire ants, scorpions and mosquitoes, usually need a recurring plan. That makes a quarterly plan a sensible fit for most Garland homes. Ask which of your pests the plan actually covers.
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 a Garland homeowner is really comparing two ways to stop them. Ask each company to explain its bait or liquid approach, and get the inspection findings in writing before you sign.
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.
Compare warranties as carefully as prices. Ask whether the warranty is retreatment-only or also covers repairs, what the yearly renewal costs, and what voids it. Get the document in writing, because a low first price can hide a weak warranty.
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.
If you are buying or selling in Garland, book the inspection early so any findings do not delay closing. Ask who performs it and get the report in writing. Remember it only covers what is visible that day, not what sits behind finished walls.
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 rodents on this state's list, and they enter differently. Mice slip through low foundation gaps while roof rats use rooflines and attics. A good quote covers both ground level and roof level sealing, not just traps.
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 pest on this state's list that a seasonal program targets. Ask how often treatments repeat through the warm months, and empty standing water around your yard yourself. That step costs nothing and stops breeding at the source.
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 makes sense for a wasp nest or a single ant trail near your door, but not for roaches or bed bugs, which need follow-ups. Ask exactly what the price covers and whether a return visit costs extra.
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 Garland 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 Garland
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 Garland
