The main factors that affect pest control cost include the type of pest, the type of treatment, the service frequency, the size and geographic location of the home, the size and accessibility of the infestation, and repair or cleaning costs. Some common signs of a pest infestation include droppings, nests, gnaw marks, excessive dirt and grime, hollow wood, unusual noises, unpleasant smells, and visible pest sightings. A homeowner or renter may be able to handle a minor pest infestation with store-bought products, but some types of infestations and those that have reached severe levels will require a professional from one of the best pest control companies like Orkin or Terminix.
