Best Pest Control Specialist in San Francisco, CA

One-time pest treatments cost $150-$500 depending on the pest type and home size. Monthly service plans run $40-$70/month, quarterly plans $100-$300 per visit. Termite treatment costs $500-$2,500 for a standard home, while bed bug treatment runs $1,000-$3,000. Many companies offer free inspections and guarantees.

For preventive maintenance, quarterly treatments (every 3 months) are most effective for most homes. Monthly service is recommended in areas with heavy pest pressure or tropical climates. After an active infestation, monthly treatments for 3-6 months followed by quarterly maintenance is the standard approach.

Licensed pest control companies use EPA-registered products applied at safe concentrations. Most treatments are safe once dry (typically 2-4 hours). Inform your technician about pets, children, and any health sensitivities. Many companies now offer eco-friendly and low-toxicity options. Always follow the technician's safety instructions.
