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 Highland Village 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 Highland Village
What companies here get called for. 6 of these 8 usually need a recurring plan.
Subterranean termites
Highland Village's consistently humid conditions mean the soil around foundations rarely dries out enough to slow subterranean termite activity for long. That persistent moisture keeps colonies active and foraging close to structures throughout much of the year, which makes a yearly inspection more than a formality here.
What treatment involves. Liquid soil barrier or a monitored bait system, plus an annual inspection.
German cockroaches
German cockroaches in Highland Village homes tend to show up first in kitchens and bathrooms, particularly under sinks, behind appliances, and inside cabinet hinges. Small dark droppings along the back of a drawer or a faint musty smell in a cabinet are early signs. Telling a pro right away limits how far they spread.
What treatment involves. Gel baiting with follow-up visits. One spray rarely finishes it.
Mice
Mice in Highland Village homes most often turn up in garages, attics, and kitchen cabinets, leaving behind small dark droppings and gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring insulation. If you hear scratching in walls or ceilings at night, that is a strong sign of activity. Identifying how they got in is the critical first step.
What treatment involves. Exclusion first, sealing entry points, then trapping and monitoring.
Bed bugs
In Highland Village homes, bed bugs are most often found along mattress seams, inside box spring corners, and behind headboards. Rust-colored stains on bedding or tiny shed skins near the sleeping area are early indicators. Check luggage and secondhand furniture before bringing them inside, since that is the most common way an infestation starts.
What treatment involves. Heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical program, with follow-up inspection.
Roof rats
Roof rats in Highland Village homes typically enter through gaps at the roofline, around vents, and where utility lines pass through exterior walls. Gnaw marks on wood trim near the eaves, scratching sounds in the attic at night, and dark smear marks along rafters are common signs that they have already moved in.
What treatment involves. Attic and roofline exclusion plus trapping. Baiting alone leaves the entry open.
Fire ants
Highland Village's humid conditions keep the soil workable for fire ant colonies through a long active season, which means mounds can appear quickly in lawns, along driveways, and near air conditioning units. Because the ground rarely hardens for extended periods, colonies can relocate and re-establish after a single mound treatment if the broader yard is not addressed.
What treatment involves. Broadcast bait across the yard plus individual mound treatment.
Scorpions
Scorpions in Highland Village homes are most often found near ground-level entry points such as weep holes, gaps around plumbing, and door thresholds. Inside, they tend to hide in closets, under piles of stored items, and in bathrooms. Shaking out shoes and checking towels on the floor are practical daily habits if scorpions have been spotted.
What treatment involves. Perimeter treatment plus sealing at plumbing and weep holes.
Mosquitoes
In Highland Village yards, mosquitoes rest in dense shrubs, tall grass, and shaded areas along fences during the day and move toward people in the evening. Birdbaths, clogged gutters, and low spots in the lawn that hold water even briefly are the most common breeding sites. Removing standing water between professional treatments makes a measurable difference.
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 Highland Village, specifically German cockroaches, mice, roof rats, fire ants, scorpions, and mosquitoes, usually require a recurring plan rather than a single visit. A quarterly plan keeps coverage continuous across all six, which is more cost-effective than booking separate one-time jobs each time a new pest appears.
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 termite species on the pest list for this area, and they are the target of both liquid barrier and bait system treatments used here. Because subterranean termites work from the soil, the treatment has to address the ground around and under the structure, not just the visible wood.
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.
When comparing termite warranty quotes in Highland Village, ask each company to hand you the actual warranty document rather than a summary sheet. Confirm the renewal date, what voids coverage such as adding a deck or missing an annual inspection, and whether the warranty is retreatment only or also covers repair costs up to a stated limit.
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 a home in Highland Village, ask for the inspection report on the NPMA-33 form and read the conditions noted section carefully, not just the active infestation finding. A clean report still documents conducive conditions that could lead to a treatment recommendation, and getting a second opinion before signing a large treatment contract is a reasonable step.
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.
Both mice and roof rats appear on the pest list for this area, and they require different exclusion strategies. Mice can enter through gaps as small as a dime at the foundation and door sweeps, while roof rats need attention at the roofline, vents, and where tree branches overhang the structure. A quote that addresses both entry zones is more complete than one focused on trapping alone.
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 on the active pest list for this area, and a seasonal program is the standard approach because barrier treatments wear off and need repeating through the warm months. Ask the company whether their program includes a standing water assessment on your property, since source reduction and barrier treatment together produce better results than barrier treatment on its own.
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 treatment in Highland Village makes practical sense for an isolated problem like a single wasp nest, a pantry moth infestation, or a small ant trail with no sign of a larger colony. Before booking, confirm that the pest you have is actually one that a single visit can finish, and ask what the callback policy is if activity continues after the treatment.
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 Highland Village 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.

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 Highland Village
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long after pest control can kids and pets go back inside?
Re-entry timing depends entirely on the product the technician uses, and no two products carry the same directions. Before leaving your home, the technician should tell you specifically when people and pets can return to each treated area. Those instructions come from the product label, which legally governs how it is applied. If you do not receive that guidance before the technician leaves, ask for it.
Do these companies serve the area around Highland Village?
Most of the companies on this list are based in the broader Denton County area, so many of them already work in communities surrounding Highland Village. That said, each company sets its own service boundaries, and coverage can vary by the type of job. The best way to confirm is to send a quote request through this page and ask each company directly whether your specific address falls within their range.
Is pest control expensive in Highland Village?
Pest control around Highland Village typically runs between $100 and $300 per visit based on our research, though the actual price shifts depending on the pest, the size of your home, and whether you choose a one-time visit or a recurring quarterly plan. Termites and bed bugs usually fall outside that general range. Submit one free quote request here and you will get exact local pricing from up to 3 pros.
Will my termite warranty transfer if I change companies?
Before switching companies, pull your existing treatment records from your current provider so the incoming company knows what products were used and when. Then read your current contract for any minimum term or cancellation fee. A termite warranty tied to the original company often does not transfer automatically, so ask the new company whether they will honor it, re-inspect, or issue their own warranty before you cancel.
What time of year is best to start pest control?
Spring is the highest-priority time to act in Highland Village because subterranean termites begin swarming and fire ants become aggressive as temperatures rise. Because the local climate stays humid through most of the year, cockroaches and moisture pests stay active well beyond summer. Mosquitoes peak through the warm months, and rodents push indoors once fall nights cool, so there is genuinely no off-season here.
What does a termite warranty actually cover?
A termite warranty comes in two forms. A retreatment-only warranty means the company will treat again if termites return, but every repair bill stays with you. A repair and retreatment warranty also covers damage up to a stated dollar limit. That distinction matters because standard homeowners insurance policies exclude insect and termite damage entirely, so the warranty document itself is the only financial protection you have.
