- How much does an exterminator cost in Washington?
- A one-time general treatment runs $131–$341 in the Washington area, with most visits around $244. Ongoing quarterly plans run $325–$1,200 per year plus an initial clean-out visit at $154–$303. The pest changes everything, though: a wasp nest is a $100–$500 call, while a termite job runs $800–$3,400 — get the problem identified (usually free) before comparing prices.
- How much does it cost to get rid of mice in Washington?
- A baseline trap-and-bait program runs $150–$350. The lasting fix is exclusion — sealing the gaps, utility penetrations, and foundation cracks mice use — which can push the job toward $700. In Washington's older housing stock, exclusion is usually the difference between solved and recurring: treatment without it is a subscription, not a cure.
- How much does bed bug treatment cost?
- Chemical treatment runs $200–$425 per room, so a two-to-three-room apartment lands around $400–$1,275 over the required visits. Whole-home heat treatment runs $1,100–$5,200 and kills every life stage in a single day, which is why severe or recurring cases usually justify it. Either way, treat every room with activity — skipping rooms is the most common reason treatments fail.
- How much does termite treatment cost in Maine?
- Termite treatment runs $800–$3,400, with most jobs at $1,500–$2,300 for liquid soil treatment or a bait system, plus an optional monitoring bond at $100–$600 per year. Maine, like the rest of New England, only has eastern subterranean termites. There are no drywood termites here, so tent fumigation is never the right prescription. If a company pitches tenting, get a second opinion.
- When are carpenter ants active in Maine?
- Carpenter ants swarm May through July in New England — that's when winged ants indoors mean a nest in the structure. Treatment runs $175–$1,300, typically $375–$500. They excavate moisture-damaged wood rather than eating it, so the ants are a symptom: a good treatment plan finds the leak or damp sill that invited them, not just the trail.
