Dealing with a mice infestation is stressful, and the cost of professional mice extermination is a common concern. Understanding typical pricing helps you budget and avoid overpaying. Here’s a realistic breakdown for the USA.
Typical Cost Ranges:
- Initial inspection and consultation: $75–$200, often credited toward treatment if you proceed.
- Single treatment visit: $150–$400 depending on the severity and size of the home.
- Full mice extermination service (multiple visits): $300–$800+. This usually includes sealing entry points, setting traps or bait stations, and follow‑up visits.
- Monthly or quarterly pest control plans: $40–$100 per month, often including mice and other common pests.
Factors That Affect Cost: The extent of the infestation, home size, accessibility of affected areas, and whether structural exclusion (sealing holes) is needed. Severe infestations or hard‑to‑reach areas cost more. For understanding what the service includes, see what to expect during a professional mice extermination service.
DIY vs. Professional Cost: DIY traps and bait cost $20–$100, but they rarely address the root cause. If the infestation persists or the entry points aren’t sealed, you’ll spend more in the long run. See DIY vs. professional mice extermination for a comparison.
