Methodology & sources
Pricing reflects typical 2026 U.S. ranges a homeowner pays for a common treatment, synthesized from published pest-control cost research and normalized to one-time-treatment and recurring-plan units. Figures are ranges, not quotes, the price for any home depends on the pest, severity, home size, region, and treatment method.
Provider supply is compiled exclusively from official state licensing boards, the authoritative record of legally operating pest-control businesses. We count distinct businesses (not license rows), include only companies with an active, verified license, re-check the full rosters daily, and drop companies whose license lapses. We never estimate or fabricate counts. See the licensing report for state-by-state coverage and lapse rates.
