Most recurring plans run $45–$65/month depending on home size and pest pressure; one-time visits for a specific problem like ants or rodents typically fall between $150–$450. Bigger projects like termite treatment or full home exclusion range $500–$3,500. We give you a written price before any work starts — no surprises at the door.

We cover Washington, D.C. and the Maryland suburbs: Silver Spring, Rockville, Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Bowie, College Park, Hyattsville, Wheaton, Takoma Park, Greenbelt, Laurel, and Upper Marlboro. Just outside that list? Call us — we often make exceptions for nearby addresses.

You'll get a text or call back in under 5 minutes during business hours confirming your estimate and available appointment times. For straightforward jobs we can often schedule on the spot; larger projects like termite or exclusion work get a free in-person inspection first so the quote is exact, not a guess.

Ants and mosquitoes ramp up April through September, so spring treatment prevents the worst of it — but rodents and termites are active year-round and don't wait for a "season." If you're already seeing activity, the best time to call is now; if you're being proactive, spring and early fall checkups catch the most problems before they spread.

Yes — we use EPA-registered products applied per label instructions, and most treatments (interior baiting, exterior barriers) are dry and safe for pets and kids within a couple of hours. For anything with a longer re-entry time, like certain heat treatments, your technician will tell you the exact wait before you go back in.
