How Much Does Pest Control Cost in 2024?

When asking the cost of anything, the answer is rarely straightforward. It often depends on the size of a job, what it involves and how long it will take.

That’s true of pest control costs in Dubbo where the size of your property, the type of pest infestation you have, and the extent of the problem will all affect the price you pay. There are also various other factors that need to be considered before a reasonable price can be established.

PEST CONTROL COSTS EXPLAINED

The cost of pest control largely depends on the amount of work that needs to be done and the equipment and materials that are to be used. These, in turn, are affected by the type of pest you have:

• Termites can cause the most damage and an inspection to assess the problem typically costs $ After that, full treatment for a property can be anything from $1,500 to $5,000 while a small infestation
• Possums have to be trapped and removed, then entry points blocked at a cost of $200-250.
• Rodents such as rats and mice can cause structural damage and pose health risks. Eradication typically costs $250-350.
• Ants can cost $200-250 to deal with a large infestation.
• Cockroaches typically incur a cost of $220-320.
• Fleas and ticks can transmit diseases and fumigation costs are usually $160-320.

These costs are averages and actual costs for treatment can only be established once an initial survey has been completed. The full treatment of a house, for example, can cost anything from $2,000 to $5,000.
