Pest control prices in Lafayette
No price is published here, and none is given over the phone before an inspection. The quote depends on the size of the property, the pest or the sign found, the work needed and the access. It is agreed in writing before the work starts.
Two calls that sound the same can produce very different quotes. A swarm at a porch light on a small lot is a different job from the same swarm on a large yard with stumps and a crawl space, and the inspection is what shows which one it is.
On the phone the team takes the basics: the place, the sign, when it was seen and whether anyone is at risk. No price is given at that stage, because a number before the inspection would be a guess.
| Job | What moves the quote |
|---|---|
| Swarm inspection | How many areas need checking, whether the trees and stumps are included, and whether a sample needs testing |
| Termite inspection | The size of the foundation, the access to the crawl space or slab edge, and the number of outbuildings |
| Soil or bait plan | The length of the foundation, the number of gaps, and the number of stations needed |
| Rodent control | The number of entry points, the storage buildings and the amount of sealing |
| Rental visit | The number of units, the shared routes and the split of work agreed in the plan |
| Commercial survey | The size of the premises, the number of devices and the follow-up schedule |

Five things that move your quote
Size and layout of the property
A larger lot, more outbuildings and more of the foundation take longer to check and to treat, and the quote follows the time.
The pest and the evidence
A swarm trail that leads to a stump needs a different plan from mud tubes on one pier, and the inspection decides which applies.
Access
A crawl space with stored items or a locked gate can add time, and the quote should say so in writing.
The method chosen
A soil barrier, a bait system, sealing or a combination each have a different cost, and the plan states which one is recommended.
Repairs outside the pest work
Repairs to walls, slabs, roofs and pipes are quoted by the trade that does them, not by the pest plan.
Follow-up visits
A plan with several checks costs more than a single visit, and the schedule of checks is written into the plan.
Want an exact number?
Call, describe the problem, and we will give you a realistic range on the phone, then a firm price on site before any work starts.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a rough figure over the phone?
No, and you should be wary of one. The information on the phone is not enough to price the work, and a figure given before an inspection is a guess.
When do I find out the cost?
After the inspection and before any work begins, in writing.
Is there a charge for the call?
Calling is free. Any charge for the inspection or the work is agreed in writing first.
Can I see the figures used for the cost?
The written quote states what it covers, the method chosen and the checks included, so the figures can be read against the work.
Does the price include repairs?
The pest plan does not include structural repairs. Those are quoted separately by the trade that carries them out.
