How Much Does Termite Treatment Cost?

Termites cause $5 billion in property damage across the U.S. every year — and most homeowners discover the infestation only after structural damage is already done. The average termite treatment cost runs between $250 and $1,000 for a standard home, but that number shifts fast depending on infestation size, treatment method, and the pest control company you choose. Know the numbers before you pick up the phone.

What Is the Average Termite Treatment Cost?

Termite treatment cost in the United States averages between $250 and $1,000 for a typical single-family home, with whole-structure fumigation reaching $1,200 to $2,500 or higher depending on square footage, infestation severity, and the specific treatment method a licensed exterminator recommends.

Most homeowners land somewhere in the middle — around $575. But "average" can be misleading. A small, localized colony caught early costs far less than a multi-colony infestation that has spread through floor joists and wall studs. The difference between catching it early and catching it late can mean thousands of dollars in additional pest control cost and structural repairs.

Treatment type drives cost more than any other single factor. Here's how the most common methods break down:

How Much Does Orkin Charge for Termite Treatment?

Orkin Pest Control charges for termite treatment typically start around $200 for an initial inspection and basic spot treatments, scaling to $1,500 or more for comprehensive barrier or fumigation programs — exact pricing depends on home size, infestation level, and the treatment plan a certified Orkin technician recommends after an on-site assessment.

Orkin does not publish a flat rate price list. Each quote is custom. That is intentional — a 900-square-foot condo with a localized infestation in one wall costs very differently than a 2,800-square-foot house with subterranean termites working through the crawl space. Orkin sends a licensed technician to inspect first. Then you get a written quote.

What Other Pest Treatments Cost: A Full Comparison

Termites are not the only pest worth budgeting for. Homeowners calling Orkin frequently ask about other common treatment costs alongside termite service.

Bee Hive Removal Cost

Bee hive removal cost ranges from $75 to $2,000 depending on hive location, colony size, and whether live removal or extermination is required — hives inside wall voids or attics sit at the higher end due to access difficulty and required repairs.

A hive hanging from a tree branch is a $75–$150 job. A hive inside a soffit that requires cutting access points? That's $500 to $2,000 before any structural repair.

Spider Exterminating Cost

Spider exterminating cost averages $100 to $300 per treatment visit, with recurring quarterly service plans running $400 to $700 annually — black widow and brown recluse infestations often require multiple targeted treatments due to harboring behavior in wall cavities and storage areas.

One-time treatments work for mild cases. Recurring plans work better for garages, basements, and homes near wooded areas where spiders re-enter seasonally.

Bed Bug Extermination Cost

Bed bug extermination cost ranges from $300 to $5,000 depending on room count and treatment method — heat treatment for a full home runs $2,000 to $4,500, while chemical treatment for a single bedroom averages $300 to $700 per room.

Bed bugs are the most labor-intensive pest to eliminate. A single missed egg batch restarts the cycle. Professional bed bug extermination cost reflects that difficulty — and cutting corners here almost always means paying twice.

Key Factors That Change Your Final Pest Control Cost

Several variables push termite treatment cost up or down significantly:

• Home size — Most companies price by linear foot of foundation or total square footage.
• Infestation severity — A colony caught in year one versus year three is not the same job.
• Treatment method — Fumigation costs 3–4x more than spot treatment but covers the full structure.
• Geographic location — Labor rates vary by region. Southern states with higher termite pressure see higher base pricing.
• Annual service plans — Orkin and similar providers offer inspection and warranty plans that reduce long-term pest control cost versus emergency one-time calls.
• Repair requirements — Treatment and wood damage repair are separate line items. Severe infestations require both.

Scheduling an annual inspection before a problem starts is the smartest financial move a homeowner can make. Early detection keeps costs predictable — and keeps structural repair bills where they belong: off your plate entirely.
