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 Roanoke 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 Roanoke
What companies here get called for. 6 of these 8 usually need a recurring plan.
Subterranean termites
Warm, humid conditions with no real seasonal break mean subterranean termites are not a spring-only worry in Roanoke. Moisture near the foundation, a leaky hose bib or soil touching siding can invite them, so fix those first and schedule an inspection.
What treatment involves. Liquid soil barrier or a monitored bait system, plus an annual inspection.
German cockroaches
Check under the kitchen sink, behind the refrigerator and around the dishwasher, where they hide close to water and food. Small dark specks and a musty smell are early signs. Wipe up crumbs, fix drips and keep pantry food sealed.
What treatment involves. Gel baiting with follow-up visits. One spray rarely finishes it.
Mice
Mice squeeze through gaps about the width of a pencil, so check around garage doors, dryer vents and pipe openings. Droppings in drawers, gnawed boxes or scratching in the walls at night are the usual clues. Seal gaps before you set traps.
What treatment involves. Exclusion first, sealing entry points, then trapping and monitoring.
Bed bugs
Look for tiny dark spots and shed skins along mattress seams, headboards and bed frames, plus itchy bites in a line. Stay calm and avoid moving bedding or luggage to other rooms. Wash fabrics hot and call a pro before the problem spreads.
What treatment involves. Heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical program, with follow-up inspection.
Roof rats
Listen for scratching or running overhead in the attic at night, and look for gnawed vents, rub marks along beams and droppings near insulation. Trim tree limbs that touch the roof, since those branches act like bridges. Then get the roofline inspected.
What treatment involves. Attic and roofline exclusion plus trapping. Baiting alone leaves the entry open.
Fire ants
Warm, humid conditions keep fire ants working in Roanoke yards for much of the year. Mounds pop up after rain in sunny lawn spots, along sidewalks and near foundations. Keep kids and pets off a fresh mound and never pour gasoline on it.
What treatment involves. Broadcast bait across the yard plus individual mound treatment.
Scorpions
Scorpions hide in shoes, towels and stacked firewood, and they climb walls to reach bedrooms. Shake out shoes and clothes before you put them on, and keep a flashlight handy. Seal cracks around plumbing lines and weep holes where they slip in.
What treatment involves. Perimeter treatment plus sealing at plumbing and weep holes.
Mosquitoes
Walk your yard and tip out anything holding water, like plant saucers, buckets, clogged gutters and toys. Mosquitoes bite hardest near shady, damp spots close to the patio or back door. A fan on the porch also helps keep them away.
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 common in Roanoke usually need a recurring plan, including German cockroaches, mice, roof rats, fire ants, scorpions and mosquitoes. Compare the first-visit price and the routine price separately, since they rarely match.
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 type on this page for Roanoke, so your quotes should center on liquid soil treatment or monitored bait stations. Ask for a written inspection first, then compare both methods before signing a multi-year contract.
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.
Ask each company for the actual warranty document before you compare prices. Look for whether it covers retreatment only or repairs too, what the yearly renewal costs and what actions void it, such as ignoring a moisture issue or skipping a renewal.
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 negotiated before closing. Ask for the NPMA-33 form in writing, and remember a company that also sells treatment has a reason to find something, so consider a second opinion on big findings.
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.
Roanoke's list includes mice and roof rats, and they use different routes. Mice come in low at foundations and door gaps, while roof rats travel the roofline into the attic. A good quote names every gap to be sealed, 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 one pest on Roanoke's list that a seasonal program targets directly. Ask how often visits repeat through the warm months, and empty standing water around your own yard, since neighbors' yards will keep sending more your way.
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 fits a single wasp nest or an isolated ant trail, and you skip the contract. Ask exactly what is covered and whether a return visit is included, because a cheap one-off price can mean paying again if the pests come back.
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 Roanoke 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 Roanoke
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.
