🐜 Pest
Pest control costs
Treatment plans, termite work and recurring contracts.
We can price pest work from real material and wage data. We have not built the pest compliance checks yet, so nothing here says the work itself is correct or lawful — only what it should cost. Why those are different jobs.
1 pest job we can price
Each is costed from its own parts, at the wage for that trade in your metro.
What the labor actually costs
Median hourly wage from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics program. This is what the trade earns, not what a contractor bills — the bill also carries insurance, vehicles, warranty, unbillable time and the business itself.
| Trade | National median wage | Metros where BLS publishes it |
|---|---|---|
| pest | $21.04/hr | 325 of 530 (61%)sparse |
Where BLS suppresses a trade in your metro we substitute the national figure and label it a substitution rather than passing it off as local.
