Published price ranges for every common residential and commercial service, what you pay for, and what moves the number up or down. No quotes, no upsell, just the ranges.
Pest control pricing is quoted, rarely published, which is exactly why homeowners overpay. A company can name any number when you have nothing to compare it against. This guide fixes that, with the real ranges for each service across the Austin metro.
Every range below is Austin and Central Texas pricing, drawn from local cost data and published rates from Austin-area operators. The one exception is commercial service, where local providers quote per site rather than publish a rate. That row is labeled and handled honestly. Everything else is local.

1 Full subterranean liquid-barrier treatment for a typical Austin home; localized spot treatments run lower, from roughly $488. 2 The 7-treatment seasonal span is a regional figure echoed on Austin pages, not a single local quote. 3 Chiggers have no standalone local price; Austin operators treat them inside outdoor flea and tick yard applications. 4 No Austin-specific small-business commercial rate is published, so this monthly figure is a national reference, shown only because local providers quote per site.
Central Texas prices tend to run above national averages, and many Austin companies bill monthly rather than quarterly. The reason is scorpions: an eight-week quarterly gap lets limestone-country scorpion populations rebuild, so the tighter monthly cadence is a regional necessity, not an upsell. Fire ants in the eastern clay soils similarly extend treatment plans.
Ranges are drawn from Austin and Central Texas cost data, corroborated across multiple local sources (pestcontrolpricing Austin, Angi Austin, ProMatcher Austin, pestextinct Austin) and published rates from Austin-area operators. Six of the seven categories use Austin-specific figures. Commercial service has no published local small-business rate, so that row is quote-based with a national reference, labeled as such. Ranges reflect typical single-family residential jobs and vary with the factors above. This guide recommends no provider.
Ranges tell you whether a quote is reasonable, not what your specific home will cost. For that, get an on-site inspection from a Texas Department of Agriculture licensed company, and ask them to itemize one-time versus recurring cost. See our guide to reading a pest control quote.
