How Much Does Ant Control Cost?

Various factors determine the cost of ant control. The location of the ants, type of ant, and size of the property all impact the costs.

A basic inspection for ants costs $150-$300, depending on the species and level of infestation. This includes the travel costs and employee time spent working.

A preventative application such as an eaves and overhang spray will cost less. This creates an eight foot continuous barrier around the property perimeter.

For a more serious infestation, treatment may cost up to $1,200. This includes several visits and repeat applications. An annual contract can reduce the cost by $480 to $400 a year.

For a large, lush lawn, treatment costs can increase. The cost may also be higher if the ants are underground or inaccessible.

A single room extermination can cost up to $500. An infestation that spreads to multiple rooms can cost up to $1,400. For a 2,000-square-foot home, an initial visit can cost up to $150 and follow-up visits can cost $100-$120.

Large properties require more chemicals and employee labor. A serious ant infestation may require more than four treatments. This is because the chemicals need to be applied for some time before they work.

An annual contract with a pest control service can help to reduce the cost of ant control. This includes monthly applications to keep the home ant-free.

These types of treatments will kill most types of ants and other insects. However, they will not prevent them from coming back.
