For example, you can expect to pay about $500 – $1,000 for a small house and $1,000 – $2,000 for a medium house and it can go up. But the average price for a medium-sized house is around $1,300 – $2,500. I have a 900 square foot house and because two sides of my house are connected with other houses, I had Termidor applied to the front and backyard only. It cost me about $400.
According to Forbes Home, the average termite treatment cost in the U.S. is around $575. The average cost for bait station treatment ranges from $7 – $11 per linear foot, and $1 to $4 per square foot for gast fumigation treatment.
You will notice that a termite treatment professional you hired will ask you if you’d like to signup for yearly renewals as insurance. It will cost you anywhere between $150 – $300 for chemical treatment and $300 – $500 for baits. So before you signup for a termite control service, always compare with other companies and ask how much does termite control cost.
