Pest control pricing in the valley is all over the map, partly because so much of it is a low teaser number that climbs once a technician is standing in your kitchen. Here is what the work actually costs.
A first general pest control visit in Las Vegas usually runs $125 to $200. That covers the everyday valley pests, ants, German and American roaches, crickets, spiders, silverfish, and earwigs. The work is more than a spray: a real first visit seals and treats the perimeter so the desert stays outside. General pest control on a small, tight home trends toward the lower end, and a larger lot with an established problem trends higher.
Why the spread? Square footage, how bad the infestation already is, and how much sealing the structure needs all move the number. A 1,200 square foot condo with a few sugar ants is a quick job. A 3,000 square foot home backing onto open desert with roaches in the kitchen and crickets in the garage is not. We quote the real figure after a few questions, not a bait number designed to get a foot in the door.
A recurring quarterly plan usually runs $90 to $150 a visit, which works out to about $40 to $55 a month or $110 to $150 a quarter. That keeps the perimeter barrier intact through the summer push, which matters more here than in most of the country. The Mojave does not freeze pests off the way a real winter does, so the pressure never fully resets.
Here is the part the cheap teaser pricing skips: in the desert, the maintained perimeter is the product. A single spray fades, the barrier breaks down in 110-degree heat, and the next wave walks back in. Quarterly service is not an upsell, it is how you keep scorpions, roaches, and crickets from re-establishing every summer. We run these plans month to month, so you can cancel when the problem is solved.
Specialty work costs more than general service because it solves a harder problem. Scorpion and termite jobs in particular involve sealing, food-source treatment, or barrier installation that a baseboard spray never touches. Here is what each one usually runs across the valley.
| Service | Usual range | What drives the number |
|---|---|---|
| General pest control (first visit) | $125 to $200 | Home size, perimeter length, severity. |
| General pest control (recurring quarterly) | $90 to $150 | Keeps the summer barrier intact. |
| Scorpion control (first visit) | $150 to $300 | Treats the food source and seals entry points. |
| Cockroach treatment | $150 to $350 | Gel baiting plus follow-up visits. |
| Rodent control with exclusion | $250 to $600 | How much sealing the structure needs. |
| Termite inspection | $75 to $150 | Home size and access to crawl areas. |
| Subterranean termite treatment | $900 to $2,500+ | Linear footage and method. |
| Bed bug treatment (per room) | $400 to $700 | Spread and whether heat is needed. |
| Whole-home bed bug heat | $1,200 to $2,500 | Heavy or whole-house spread. |
Scorpion control usually starts at $150 to $300 because it targets the insects scorpions hunt and seals weep screeds and utility gaps. Rodent control with exclusion runs $250 to $600 because trapping without sealing just invites the next rat in. Bed bug treatment runs $400 to $700 per room, or $1,200 to $2,500 for whole-home heat when the spread is heavy.
A lot of pest control advertising here leads with a number that sounds great and a contract that does not. The $39 special gets a technician to the door, and the real cost arrives once they are inside and the scope is suddenly bigger than the ad. Sealing, follow-ups, and the actual problem cost what they cost, and a teaser does not change that. It just changes when you find out.
We post ranges instead, because a homeowner deciding between scorpion plans should be able to compare before anyone knocks. The figure quoted on the phone is the figure on the invoice, and if the infestation turns out worse than described, we tell you what changes and why before we treat. That is the whole pitch. No surprise add-ons.
Yes, a little, because the pest mix shifts by neighborhood. Homes in Summerlin and the Henderson foothills back onto open desert, so scorpion and cricket pressure runs high and most owners want a sealed-perimeter recurring plan rather than a one-time spray. Those jobs lean toward the upper end of the general range and add scorpion-specific work on top.
Older central neighborhoods near mature trees carry heavier roof-rat and German cockroach pressure, which can push toward rodent exclusion or roach baiting instead of a simple perimeter treatment. New stucco tracts on disturbed desert lots see the worst scorpion intrusion in their first two summers until the perimeter is established. The base ranges hold across the valley, but the right service for your address is what sets the final number.
A first general pest control visit usually runs $125 to $200, with recurring quarterly service around $90 to $150. Scorpion control usually starts at $150 to $300, rodent control with exclusion runs $250 to $600, and termite treatment runs $900 to $2,500 or more. We quote the real number before we treat.
It depends on the pest. A one-time visit can knock down a sudden ant trail or a single wasp nest. But scorpions, roaches, and the summer desert push come back without a maintained perimeter, so most valley homes do better on a quarterly plan that keeps the barrier intact. We will tell you honestly when a single visit is all you need.
Scorpions are hunters, so treating them means treating the insects they eat and sealing the cracks they enter through, not just spraying a baseboard. That is more labor and a more thorough perimeter, which is why scorpion service usually runs $150 to $300 up front. A cheap one-time spray rarely makes a dent in a bark scorpion problem.
No. Recurring plans run month to month or quarter to quarter, and you can cancel once the problem is handled. A specialty job like a termite warranty has its own written term, and we spell that out before you sign. We would rather keep you because the service works than because a contract traps you.
For general service, scorpions, and most roach jobs, yes. The posted range covers most homes, and we narrow it with a few questions about size and severity. Termite treatment and whole-home bed bug heat depend on an inspection, so we confirm the exact figure after we see the structure and before any work begins.
We post real ranges and quote the figure before we treat, not after. Licensed and insured, local crew, products chosen for your home and any kids or pets on site.
