You saw one on the counter. The question is how many you did not see.

Tell us the size of the house, what is under it and what you have been seeing. You get a price for the first treatment and a price for a regular visit, in about a minute, before anybody rings your doorbell.

Registered, licensed technicians We tell you what we found, in writing No term, no cancellation fee
Instant price range

Two prices, and the form tells you which one you are looking at. Initial pest treatment quotes the first visit. Pest control plan visit quotes one regular visit — not a month, not a quarter and not a year.

You see the number, not a salesmanBoth prices are on this page. Nobody has to sit at your kitchen table before you find out what it costs.
Per visit means per visitThe plan price is one visit. We do not quote you a month and send a quarterly truck, and we do not print a yearly total you never agreed to.
No term and no cancellation feeThe discount holds while the plan runs. Stop it with a phone call and nothing claws back.
One price all yearMice in November cost what ants in April cost. Nobody chooses the month a problem starts, so we do not charge for it.
What we do

Most of pest control happens outside, which surprises people

The band around the foundation, the eaves swept for webs, the wood pile treated and the gaps sealed are what actually keep things out. What we do inside is the part you asked for; what we do outside is the part that stops you asking again.

Priced on this page

Initial pest treatment

The long visit: the whole house walked, the crawlspace and the attic hatch opened, the outside banded, baits placed, and a written list of the ways in we found.

Priced on this page

Pest control plan visit

The stop that follows: the band refreshed, the eaves swept, the baits checked and anything new dealt with. Priced per visit, with the frequency discount already in it.

Fixes it, rather than treats it

Sealing the ways in

Door sweeps, vent screens, copper mesh and foam round the pipes. A mouse needs a quarter of an inch, and nothing you spray keeps out something that can still walk in.

On the form

Mice, rats and the stations

Traps and baits in the garage, the crawlspace and the utility room, logged and rebaited each visit. Worth it for a year after any mouse problem you have already had.

On the form

German roaches

They breed indoors and they do not come from the yard, so one visit is never enough. The price you see is the first of a course of three, two weeks apart, and we say so at the door.

Site visit

Termites, bed bugs and wildlife

Priced after we look, and there is no charge for looking. None of these three can be quoted honestly from a form, and this page does not try.

How we price

Two numbers, and we tell you which is which

The form at the top of this page uses our real rates. It shows a range rather than a single number because what is actually under the house is something we settle when we are under it.

The house, not the bug

Size, what is under it, how much of the outside we treat. A slab and a crawlspace are two different afternoons, and that difference is bigger than the difference between ants and spiders.

See both ranges

Midpoint plus or minus 9% on a plan visit, with the $28 stop inside it. Nothing quotes under our $45 per-visit minimum or under $295 for an initial. Past $185 a visit it is a job rather than a route stop, and it gets a person instead of a number.

Pick how often

The discount is a per-visit discount and it is already in each option, so you read the saving while you choose. Nothing here moves with the calendar: there is no seasonal rate on either service, because nobody decides to have mice in November.

What the frequency question actually does

Off the price of each visit. A quarterly visit costs more than a monthly one, because the tech was here thirteen weeks ago instead of four — so we do not divide it by three to show you a smaller number.

Service area

Based in Culpeper. We say what the trip costs before we make it.

Your ZIP code sets the travel line on your estimate. On a plan visit a trip fee is a big share of the number rather than a rounding error — which is exactly why our plan territory is the first two rows here and the rest is mostly initial treatments and termite work.

Notes for anyone evaluating the demo
  • Priced path, and it is the recurring one. Pick Pest control plan visit, then: general pests plus mice and rats, 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft, every month, a crawlspace, the foundation line and the doors, no outbuilding, no stations. Use ZIP 22701. The live pricing engine returns $59 – $71 per visit, midpoint $65.10, and the lead lands in the demo account’s inbox. The arithmetic is worth following once: the $28 stop plus $34 for the mice-and-general scope is $62 of dollars, and the size band (+12%), the monthly plan (−25%) and the crawlspace (+18%) pool to +5% — a discount and two uplifts on one form, cancelling almost exactly.
  • The frequency discount, which is the only thing on this page carrying the recurring story. Change that one answer and nothing else. Every month is $59 – $71; every other month $64 – $77; every quarter $69 – $82; one visit with no plan at all $73 – $88. Three commands differing in one slug. The ladder is the right way round: a quarterly visit costs MORE per visit, because a tech who was here thirteen weeks ago is doing the whole house again where a monthly one is topping up. This page will not divide that by three to show you a monthly figure, and it prints no yearly total either — the engine has no concept of a term, and inventing one is how a demo starts lying.
  • Negative percentages in a pool, which most demos do not have. The frequency options are the only negative amounts in this fixture and they are pooled with the positive ones rather than applied after them: +12 and +18 and −25 add to +5%, not 1.12 × 1.18 × 0.75 (which is −0.88%, and $3.65 a visit lower here). Pooling is what makes a discount legible on a napkin, and it is why the monthly option can visibly cancel a crawlspace.
  • One answer at a time, everything else held still. From the priced path: a slab instead of a crawlspace is $49 – $59; a crawlspace to crawl the length of is $66 – $79; 2,500 to 4,000 sq ft is $67 – $80; adding the fence line and the wood pile is $72 – $86; adding a detached garage or shed is $76 – $92; adding rodent stations is $73 – $87. General pests only, on the same house, is $46 – $55 monthly and $50 – $60 every other month — which is the plan most homes in this county actually buy.
  • Nothing on this service multiplies, and that is unusual here. Every other fixture in the estate has a per-unit rate — squares, flues, doors, linear feet. A pest visit is priced by what the house IS rather than by how many of something it has, so this form carries no multiply rule at all: two dropdowns of dollars, four of percentages and two yes/no fees. It is the estate’s proof that a service can be complete without one.
  • The floor, and the ceiling, both reachable. The cheapest answer set possible — outside only, under 1,500 sq ft, monthly, a slab, the foundation line, nothing added — works out at $30 (the $28 stop plus $12, less the 25% monthly discount) and quotes $45 – $49: the low end is the $45 floor itself, not 9% below it, and the floor is doing real work rather than sitting under every answer set unreached. The most expensive — German roaches, over 4,000 sq ft, no plan, a long crawl, the full exterior, an outbuilding and stations — reaches $209.52, clears the $185 ceiling and routes rather than printing a number. Put that same house on a monthly plan and the discount brings it back under: $166 – $199, quoted. The ceiling is set where it is genuinely reachable rather than at a comfortable round number — a ceiling no answer set can hit is decoration, not a safety rail.
  • Travel zone, and why it decides the sales territory. Repeat the priced path with ZIP 20186 (Warrenton): $68 – $82. With 22401 (Fredericksburg): $79 – $95. Any ZIP outside the listed prefixes, whether 21201 (Baltimore) or 75001 (Texas), falls to the catch-all: $97 – $116, the percentage first and then the flat fee. That is 63% above the same visit at home, and on the $45 floor job the catch-all gives $63 – $76 — the trip is then more than a third of the ticket. Honest arithmetic, and also the reason this business does not sell plans up the interstate.
  • Out of area. Use ZIP 99901. The visitor gets a polite decline instead of a price, on either priced service, and the lead is still captured.
  • The other instant service: the initial treatment. Pick Initial pest treatment: mice or rats in the house, 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft, a crawlspace, the foundation line and the doors, no sealing, no attic, ZIP 22701. $403 – $493 for the first visit, with the $115 trip and inspection inside it rather than added at the door. Same house for general pests only is $300 – $366; for German roaches $472 – $577; for a wasp nest $295 – $331, where the low end is the service’s $295 floor. Add the sealing work and it is $593 – $725; add the attic instead, $530 – $648; add both, $720 – $880. Its ceiling is $1,200, which the worst answer set clears at $1,288 and routes, while a big but perfectly ordinary job — German roaches in a 3,000 sq ft house on a crawlspace with the sealing and the attic — still quotes at $974 – $1,191. Its band is 10% rather than the plan visit’s 9%, and WIDER on purpose: the first visit is the one with surprises in it.
  • The two services deliberately share two questions. Size and what is under the house are asked on both, with the same four options — but the crawlspace percentages differ (+18% on a plan visit, +16% on an initial) and the help text says why rather than leaving it to be noticed: a crawlspace is most of a forty-minute route stop and a smaller share of a three-hour first visit. That is a rate card being honest about its own shape, which is the sort of thing an owner can only get right if the tool lets him say it.
  • A question that moves no money, on purpose. On the initial treatment, “anyone pregnant or immune-compromised, or a fish tank, reptile or bird in the house” carries no rule at all. Answer it Yes and the quote is unchanged at $403 – $493. It changes what goes on the truck — baits and dusts instead of a liquid band indoors, nothing aerosolised near a tank — and the help text says exactly that, so nobody hesitates over it thinking it will cost them.
  • No season on either priced service, which is a decision and not an empty field. This trade looks seasonal from outside — ants in April, wasps in July, mice on the first frost — and every one of those is a reason a homeowner calls rather than a reason to charge her more. The fixtures that DO carry a season (gutters, chimney) price a capacity constraint on scheduled work: a choice to book inside the weeks when every crew is full, avoidable by booking in July. Pest work is triggered by the animal, so a season would charge the most to the person with the worst problem in the week she has it. And a plan cannot carry one at all: a price that moves with the calendar is not a plan. So this page exercises the engine’s $season === null branches, which only demo/garage-doors.php otherwise does, and every command in these notes is stable on any date.
  • Routing mode, and the three numbers this page will not print. Pick Termites, bed bugs and wildlife. That service is in site-visit mode, so it never shows a price; the visitor sees “we like to see it first”. None of its questions carries a pricing rule — including the one asking roughly how many feet it is around the outside of the house, whose help text says out loud that the answer is for loading the truck and not for the price. Termites run $1,200 to $3,500 in this market and bed bugs $1,200 to $2,500, and this page never prints either as an engine figure, because the fixture cannot compute one. A termite job is priced by that linear footage, by how the house is built and by liquid versus bait; bed bugs by room, by method and by how far they have already gone. Neither is knowable from a form, which is exactly the condition site-visit mode exists for.
  • Where this account stops, and it agrees with the fixture on the other side of the line. The animals in an attic are ours: we trap them under a state permit and we close the hole. The insulation they fouled is not — Warmshell Insulation, the insulation demo, already prices that as its own job (its tear-out question carries “+80% when there is rodent contamination to clean and sanitize”). So the wildlife question’s help text hands the attic to an insulation contractor in as many words rather than quoting it, and neither account can sell the other’s work.
  • The photo question carries no rule. Photos never move the price — the engine skips them entirely. Nothing is uploaded either: on a demo the visitor can tick “I have photos I can send” and the lead records “Has photos to send, not uploaded”, which is the owner’s cue to ask for pictures on the call. On this trade that matters more than most, because identification is most of the job: half the “termites” anybody gets sent are flying ants, and the two need completely different visits.
  • The missed-call text-back. The CallMitt page replays which of five messages a missed caller would get and why. Straight about where it stands: nothing on this platform delivers a text message yet, because there is no SMS gateway and no carrier registration, so the reply becomes an outbox row marked queued and stops there. The rules, the hours, the quiet hours and the opt-out handling are built and running.
  • The widget’s violet matches this site because the account’s key carries a theme color; the same script on an agency’s client site would carry the agency’s color.
