Bites alone cannot confirm bed bugs; look for live insects, shed skins, or dark spotting near mattress seams and bed-frame joints. A bed bug inspection can check those hiding places, and eggs commonly hatch within 6–10 days, so follow-up timing should account for the life cycle.

A rodent inspection looks for droppings, gnaw marks, nesting material, and entry points around roof edges and utility lines. Mouse droppings are commonly 3–6 mm long; document their locations and provide unobstructed attic access so the technician can assess trapping and exclusion needs.

Initial general pest service is typically $150–$400; the main cost drivers are the pest mix and home size. An inspection and pest identification help determine whether targeted crack-and-crevice treatment or a broader perimeter treatment is appropriate.

Bed bug treatment for one bedroom typically costs $500–$1,500, depending on treatment method and preparation. Before service, wash bedding and follow the written preparation checklist; mattress encasements are available in sizes from Twin through California king.

Rodent exclusion for a typical home is usually $300–$1,500, with entry-point count and repair scope driving the cost. A mouse can fit through a gap about ¼ inch wide, so ask for documented entry points and a clear scope for sealing them.

Termite treatment for a typical home is generally $800–$2,500; foundation access and treatment type are key cost drivers. A liquid barrier treats soil around the structure, while termite bait stations monitor colonies and require inspection and replenishment.
