The table below shows only prices with a named publisher behind them. Most are national, and only the first row is for New York, NY.

These are estimates, not quotes. The technician confirms the exact price after inspecting the space, explains what it covers, and nothing is applied until you approve it. For the reasons behind a higher or lower number, read the New York pest control cost guide.

Five things that move your quote
The pest and how far it has spread
A few roaches caught early cost less than a building-wide problem, and heavy bed bug infestations with clutter cost more than light ones, as the table shows.
One apartment or the whole stack
Pests move between units, so treating neighbors' apartments or the cellar changes the scope and the price, and often the result.
Access and building type
Pipe chases, cellars, tenement walls and co-op rules affect time on site, as do permission and access from the owner or managing agent.
Preparation and follow-up visits
Roaches and bed bugs often need preparation by the resident and a follow-up, which should be stated in the price you approve.
Sealing and exclusion
Closing gaps around pipes and conduits is separate from killing rodents, and a scope for sealing is agreed on site.
A New York price premium
Costs in New York often run higher than the national numbers. Treat the national rows as a comparison point, not a quote.
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
How firm are these prices?
They are estimates from named publishers, not quotes. The technician confirms the exact figure on site and you approve it before any treatment starts. Quotes in a multi-unit building may change if neighboring units are added.
Why is there no price for rats, termites or pigeons?
We could not source a range for them from an established publisher. We would rather leave them off than publish a guess. Call and describe the situation, and the price is explained before work begins.
Does the table include a trip or after-hours fee?
No fee is shown because none is sourced. Any extra charge, such as for evening visits, is stated before you approve the work. Phones are answered 24/7 and same-day visits depend on when a technician is free.
Is the HomeAdvisor number for my whole building?
It is for general bug and insect extermination in New York, NY, so it does not describe a building-wide program. A multi-unit job is priced by scope. See multi-unit building pest control.
Where can I see the prices for a landlord's HPD violation?
Violation response is priced by scope after inspection, and the table does not include it. See landlord pest violation response and the landlord and tenant guide.
