Our recurring pest plans start at $42 a month for quarterly service, with an initial visit of $149 instead of the usual $199. Bi-monthly service runs $55 a month and monthly runs $75, both with a $199 initial visit. What moves the number on a rodent job is the house more than the treatment: how many openings need sealing, whether the work is in a crawl space or an attic, and how long the mice have been in. We give you the figure after we look, not before.
Most people call us after a couple of weeks of snap traps and moving them from one corner of the pantry to another. The treatment is the predictable part of a mouse job and the house is the variable, so anyone quoting a flat number over the phone before seeing your place is guessing.
What Our Pest Plans Cost
We publish our pricing because we would rather you know it going in. Our recurring residential plans work out like this:
- Quarterly service, four visits a year, $42 a month, initial visit $149 instead of $199
- Bi-monthly service, six visits a year, $55 a month, initial visit $199
- Monthly service, twelve visits a year, $75 a month, initial visit $199
- Every plan covers the inside and the outside of the home, with fire ants, fleas, ticks and stinging insects among more than 50 pests handled at no extra charge
Quarterly is what most Upstate families choose. The full breakdown of what each visit covers sits on our plans and pricing page.
What Moves the Number on a Rodent Job
Rodent sealing is quoted separately from the recurring plans above, because the part that actually ends the problem is carpentry as much as treatment. Sealing a 1970s ranch is a different job from sealing a 2015 build with tight, well-finished roof overhangs. The older house usually has a vented crawl space, the low open area under the floor, and brick that has shifted enough over the years to leave gaps.
The things we are looking at during an inspection:
- How many entry points there are, and whether they sit up at the roof edge or down at ground level
- Whether the work is reachable or needs ladder access up under the roof overhang
- How long the mice have been in, since nesting in insulation adds cleanup
- Whether it is mice at all, because rat-sized openings need heavier materials
Why a Single Visit Is Rarely the Cheaper Route
A one-time treatment knocks down the mice that are in the house when we come. It does nothing about the gap they used to get in.
Mice push into Upstate houses every fall, and they keep coming. The population outside your house does not drop because we emptied the inside of it, and an unsealed gap no wider than a pencil at the trim board behind the gutter gets found again within weeks. Pay for a one-time visit each fall for three years running and you have paid three times for the same problem, with nobody checking the outside of the house in between.
The products we apply also break down within about 90 days in our climate. That is the reason quarterly is our minimum rather than an upsell.
Where Recurring Service Helps Catch Mice Early
Ongoing service does not replace the sealing work, and the rodent side is still quoted on its own after we look. What it does is catch a problem while it is still small. A technician who visits your home four times a year is looking at the base of the house, the crawl space door and the roof edge on every visit, so a new opening gets caught in October rather than in February after something has already nested in the attic.
It also means the same few people learn your house. Our reviews often name individual technicians, and there is a practical reason for that beyond friendliness. Somebody who has been in your crawl space three times knows where the trouble spot is.
Our mice extermination page covers the treatment side in detail.
Questions to Ask Whoever You Call
Not every quote covers the same work, and the cheap one often covers less.
- Does the price include sealing the entry points, or only setting traps
- Will someone come back to check and reset, and is that visit included
- Who handles removing soiled insulation if the attic needs it
- What happens if mice return next month
Get the answers in writing. A quote that covers trapping alone reads lower than one that covers sealing, and it leaves you holding the expensive half of the job a few months later.
Why Two Quotes Can Be So Far Apart
Two companies looking at the same house can come back with quotes that are far apart, and the gap is usually what the quote covers rather than what the company charges for the same work. One has quoted a trap-and-return job. The other has priced the sealing work, the follow-up visits, and the section of insulation under the nest.
Follow-up is the other place quotes diverge. A price that includes two return visits in the first month reads higher on paper and finishes the job, because the first round of traps rarely catches everything and a mouse that survives the first week keeps breeding.
Ask for the scope written out line by line. If sealing is missing from that list, the number you are comparing is not a full price.
What You Are Really Paying to Prevent
Mice chew the covering off electrical wire because their teeth never stop growing. They flatten the insulation they nest in, so that part of the attic stops doing its job. They contaminate the insulation directly under a nest, and that section gets replaced rather than cleaned.
None of that shows up on day one. It shows up later, as repair work you did not plan for, and it is the reason we push people toward sealing rather than trapping.
Get a Real Number for Your House
October is when mice move indoors across the Upstate, and sealing a house now heads off most of what would otherwise get in over the winter. Let us come out, look at your roof edge and crawl space, and give you an actual figure rather than a range. We have been pricing this honestly for Upstate families since 1974, our products are chosen to be safe around your family and pets, and if pests come back between visits, we come back too. Call (864) 399-9262 or reach us through our contact page to set up the inspection.
