How much is pest control in Phoenix?
In the Phoenix area, a one-time general treatment typically costs $150 to $300, and recurring plans run about $40 to $80 per visit. Two Phoenix companies publish their prices. Budget Brothers Termite & Pest lists plans at $39.95, $56.95 and $84.95 a month, with service every other month, and ACTION Termite & Pest Control lists a plan from $49 a month with four seasonal services. Termite treatment is separate and usually runs $500 to $2,500 for a liquid barrier.
The short version: $45 to $60 a month for general pest with scorpion coverage is a normal Valley price. Comparing towns statewide? See the Arizona pest control cost benchmark.
What Phoenix companies actually charge
Most Phoenix pest companies don’t publish prices. Search their sites and you’ll find a quote form, not a number. That’s partly fair, since price depends on square footage, lot size and whether you back onto desert, but it means the few companies that do publish are worth knowing as a benchmark.
| Budget Brothers plan | Published price | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | From $39.95/mo | General pests: spiders, ants, cockroaches and more, serviced every other month |
| Titanium | From $56.95/mo | Everything in Gold plus expanded mosquito treatment |
| Diamond | From $84.95/mo | Everything in Titanium plus a termite baiting system and termite warranty |

The other Phoenix company that publishes its prices is ACTION Termite & Pest Control: a pest plan from $49 a month with four seasonal services and free re-service between visits, one-time treatments from $199, and termite treatment from $595. Its plan is quarterly, so compare it with Budget Brothers on cost per year and visits per year, not just the monthly figure.

Don’t ask “how much is pest control.” Ask: what’s the initial treatment, what’s the recurring price, how many visits a year, are scorpions included or extra, and is there a contract with a cancellation fee? Five questions get you a quote you can compare across companies.
Scorpion control cost in Phoenix
Scorpion treatment in the Phoenix area typically runs about $75 to $150 per visit. Most Valley homeowners don’t buy it on its own; they get it inside a recurring plan, because bark scorpions keep walking back in from the desert your subdivision was built on, and a treatment barrier wears down in the heat.
- Check whether scorpions are in the base plan. Some companies include them; others sell them as an upgrade.
- Ask about black-light inspections. That’s how a technician finds where scorpions are getting in.
- Ask about sealing. Sealing gaps around doors, weep screeds and plumbing is a separate job, but it’s what cuts how many get inside.
Termite treatment cost in Phoenix
Subterranean termites are the expensive Valley problem, and termite work is almost always a separate contract from your pest plan.

Termite warranties usually need a paid annual renewal. Miss it and the warranty lapses, so the next treatment is full price. Put the renewal date in your calendar the day you sign.
Where you live in Phoenix changes the price
The same house costs different money to protect depending on what’s behind the back wall.
| Where | Why pressure is higher or lower | Typical plan |
|---|---|---|
| Ahwatukee and homes near South Mountain | Backs onto the mountain preserve and open desert | Monthly with scorpion coverage |
| North Phoenix near the mountain preserves | Desert edges and washes bring scorpions and pack rats | Monthly or bi-monthly |
| Arcadia and older central neighbourhoods | Mature citrus and older construction attract roof rats | General plan plus rodent work |
| Newer interior subdivisions | Less open desert next door, tighter construction | Bi-monthly or quarterly |
Monsoon season and timing
Scorpion and roach calls climb from the start of summer through monsoon season, roughly mid-June through September. If you’re starting service, start in spring. If you’re switching companies, do it before the storms, not in the middle of them, when everyone’s schedule is full.
Is $50 a month for pest control a lot in Phoenix?
No. $50 a month is squarely normal in the Valley, and good value if scorpions are included with no long contract. What matters more is what sits under the number:
- $50 a month with scorpions, no contract: a good deal.
- $50 a month, scorpions $25 extra: you’re really paying $75.
- $50 a month on a 24-month contract with a cancellation fee: fine price, bad terms.
- $50 a month but they only come quarterly: that’s $150 a visit. Always ask how many visits a year.
What isn’t in a Phoenix pest plan
Bed bugs (typically $300 to $1,500 or more), termites, pigeon exclusion around solar panels, and most rodent exclusion work are separate services with separate warranties. Ask what a monthly plan excludes before you compare it with anything else.
How to pay less
- Match frequency to your risk. An interior subdivision home often doesn’t need monthly service; a house backing a wash does.
- Ask about the initial fee. Some companies reduce or waive it when you commit to a plan.
- Prepay if there’s a discount. Many companies discount annual prepayment.
- Do the free work yourself. Seal gaps, fix door sweeps, move woodpiles off the wall and trim plants touching the house.
- Get three quotes at the same visit frequency. It’s the only way the numbers compare.
