Pest control costs in Phoenix (2026)
Updated July 2026
Pest control pricing in Phoenix depends heavily on which pest you are dealing with and whether you need a one-time treatment or an ongoing plan. Scorpions and termites, both common in the Valley, have their own pricing patterns worth knowing separately from general pest control. Below are 2026 Phoenix-area ranges by service type. For an exact figure, get a few free quotes from local pros.
One-time general treatment (ants, roaches, spiders)
A one-time general pest treatment in the Phoenix area typically runs $150 to $300, with some quotes for a standard-size home landing around $200 to $340. Smaller or lighter jobs can run less, sometimes closer to $60 to $150. This covers common household pests like ants, roaches, and spiders.
Ongoing service plans
In the Phoenix area, a monthly pest control visit typically runs $20 to $40 per visit (roughly $240 to $480 per year), and a quarterly visit typically runs $60 to $170 per visit (roughly $240 to $680 per year across four visits). An initial visit to start an ongoing plan commonly runs $80 to $170, separate from the recurring per-visit price. Which cadence makes sense often depends on the specific pest, covered further below for scorpions specifically.
Termite and scorpion treatment
Termite inspections in the Phoenix area typically run $50 to $150, and many companies offer free inspections; annual inspections specifically run about $75 to $150. Termite treatment itself varies widely, from about $250 to $1,500 depending on method, averaging around $575, with liquid barrier treatment around $250 to $800 and bait station systems (installation plus first-year monitoring) around $800 to $1,500. Scorpion control is its own category: a one-time treatment typically runs $150 to $400, and ongoing monthly scorpion-specific plans run about $40 to $75 per month, priced monthly rather than quarterly because scorpions continually re-enter homes from the surrounding desert.
Frequently asked questions
How much does pest control cost in Phoenix?
A one-time general treatment typically runs $150 to $300 in the Phoenix area. Ongoing plans run about $60 to $170 per quarterly visit or $20 to $40 per monthly visit, and termite or scorpion treatment is priced separately given how different those pests are to treat.
Why is scorpion control priced by the month instead of quarterly?
Scorpions continually re-enter homes from the surrounding Sonoran Desert terrain, so a monthly treatment cadence is the Phoenix-area standard for scorpion-specific plans, unlike general pest control which is often handled quarterly.
