How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Mouse Exterminator?

By Planet Friendly Pest Control·3 min read

It's late at night, you're getting ready to go to bed, and you hear the pitter-patter of little feet across your floor. The trouble is that those feet don't belong to your children; in fact, they don't even belong to something human. You whip around and catch a glimpse of it scurrying across the floor: a mouse.

Having mice in your house can be frightening and disgusting, and you almost certainly don't want to deal with it on your own. Read on to learn more about the cost of a mouse exterminator and if they're worth the price.

01

Cost of a Mouse Exterminator

How much you can expect to pay for mouse extermination will vary depending on a number of factors. The larger and more extreme the infestation, the higher the price will be. In general, a full-service visit that includes inspection, treatment, and prevention measures will cost between $200 and $600.

If you have a large house or a serious mouse infestation, your extermination costs could run upwards of $1,000. One way to avoid that cost is to get a monthly treatment plan. The initial treatment visit will likely cost between $150 and $300, and follow-up visits may cost between $40 and $100.

02

How Do They Work?

Those numbers we just mentioned may seem like a lot of money, and you're going to want to be sure that that money will keep mice out of your home for good. Pest control services start by getting rid of the population of mice living in your home. They may spread chemical poisons, or they may set traps, and they'll come back later and clean up the carcasses.

Once the initial infestation is cleared out, however, the job is only half done. From there, they start the work of making sure mice won't get back into your home again. They may involve looking for and sealing up areas where they can get in, removing sources of food and water, and so on.

03

Is It Worth It?

So now to the real question: is it worth hiring an exterminator to tackle your mouse problem? In almost every case the answer is yes. Not only do exterminators save you the unpleasant task of getting rid of the mice on your own, but they also know all the tips and tricks to keep the mouse infestation from coming back in the future.

04

Find the Best Mouse Exterminator

Hiring a mouse exterminator is often the easiest and best way to get rid of an infestation in your house. Your initial service may cost a few hundred dollars, but you can get ongoing treatment plans that will keep your home mouse-free. And your exterminator will know all the best techniques for keeping mice out of your house for good.

    Alex was great! Very professional and explained the whole process before doing any work. We had a wasp nest in our wall, getting in through a seam between our brick and siding. I thought it would be a costly problem, but it was taken care of in about 15 minutes.

    I am very pleased with the work of Planet Friendly Pest Control. I had a large wasp nest in the garage and they came out to treat it the same day! The process was clear and professional. I was told the price when I called and they didn't try to upsell me on a monthly or quarterly contract. As mentioned above, they came out the same day I called and they texted me when they were on their way. They treated the nest and then came back a week later to confirm it was taken care of and removed the nest. It's now been a couple of weeks since the initial visit and no sign of new wasps! I would not hesitate to use them again.

    I want to sincerely thank Planet Friendly Pest Control and its owner, Gene Wright, for their immediate response and action to deal with a hive of Bald Face Hornets who, unbeknownst to me, had taken home in a fair size shrub at the back of my house. As I attempted to trim the shrub, I was swarmed by Hornets and stung 8 or 9 times before I could get to safety. I left my tractor and tools in a hurry and was afraid to retrieve them until the bee issue was addressed. Again, PFPC responded quickly and allowed me to get my tools and continue my recovery from the bee stings. I considered the price to be very fair for the treatment of the issue at hand and the sharing of knowledge to avoid further such mishaps. I will only call PFPC when in need of pest control.

    Really appreciate Roger coming out to the house to not only treat for common insects that like to make their way into the house (regularly scheduled maintenance), but also exterminate a hornet nest we found on our deck this last week. Great service, arrives on schedule (and sends a text with arrival time when he’s on his way), and most importantly - no critters coming inside my house - or hornets potentially stinging us. Recommend Planet Friendly Pest Control to anyone looking for an exterminator.

    Gene Wright came highly recommended by multiple neighbors. He came out the same day I called and showed great knowledge about our mouse problem! Gene was responsible, knowledgeable and a delight to deal with. We highly recommend Planet Friendly Pest Control.

    This is my third year using Planet Friendly to control ants in my home. I have yet to see an ant. What a relief. This is a real necessity where I live. Thank you.
