How Much Does Pest Control Cost in Georgetown, TX?
Ask five Georgetown pest companies what a treatment costs and you will get five numbers, because the honest answer depends on the house. Slab cracks along Ronald Reagan Boulevard cost different money than a fire ant problem in a Berry Creek yard. What follows is real ranges, and where they widen, why.
A standard quarterly pest control visit here runs an estimated $89 to $150 per treatment, or roughly $360 to $600 across a first year once the setup visit is counted. That covers the perimeter, weep holes, eaves and the usual ant and spider pressure most Georgetown homes carry, from Old Town out to Teravista.
Estimate Your Pest Control Cost in Georgetown
Slab-on-grade construction changes what a treatment plan actually has to do. West of I-35, on the Edwards limestone under Sun City and Cimarron Hills, the fractures carry water sideways under the foundation. East, on the Blackland clay under Georgetown Village and Katy Crossing, a dry summer opens a gap at the slab edge wide enough for ants, scorpions or termites to walk through. A tech pricing the job has to account for which ground the house sits on.
Make a selection in all three and the estimated range appears here. If JavaScript is off the menus will not respond, which costs you nothing: the tables on this page carry the identical numbers.
Planning figure only, never a quotation. The real total depends on what the inspection finds, how far activity has spread, and whether exclusion work is needed, and all of that comes to you in writing before any treatment begins. None of your selections are sent anywhere.
Pest Control Prices in Georgetown by Service
Scorpion work costs more than routine ant treatment because the striped bark scorpion does not stay on the exterior. It comes in through weep holes and gaps thin enough to seem impossible, and it goes wherever the moisture is — a laundry room, a bathroom. Expect an estimated $120 to $250 for an initial scorpion-focused treatment, more if the house backs onto a greenbelt on the west side of I-35.
| Service | Typical single visit | Billed | Approx. first-year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Termite Inspection | an estimated $449–$1400 | per treatment | an estimated $1435–$5040 |
| Commercial Pest Control | an estimated $89–$249 | per visit | an estimated $285–$895 |
| Bed Bug Treatment | an estimated $299–$1100 | per treatment | an estimated $955–$3960 |
| General Pest Control | an estimated $99–$249 | per treatment | an estimated $315–$895 |
| Rodent Exclusion | an estimated $189–$499 | per treatment | an estimated $605–$1795 |
| Quarterly Pest Protection | an estimated $89–$139 | per visit | an estimated $285–$500 |
| Mosquito & Tick Control | an estimated $69–$139 | per treatment | an estimated $220–$500 |
| One-Time Pest Treatment | an estimated $99–$239 | per treatment | an estimated $315–$860 |
What Changes the Price: Job Size
A native subterranean termite job costs more to diagnose than to treat, because the sign is rarely obvious. Look for a thin mud line climbing a pier, a scatter of shed wings caught in a windowsill screen after a warm rain, or trim along a baseboard that sounds hollow when tapped. Georgetown swarms tend to show in daylight sometime between February and May, and a drought beforehand does not make the risk smaller — it pushes the colony deeper toward the moisture under the slab.
| Job size | What it covers | Estimated cost | Typical time on site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard scheduled visit, no active infestation | The smallest jobs are single-issue calls: a scorpion problem in a Sun City bathroom, an ant trail along a Berry Creek baseboard, one mouse heard in the attic near Williams Drive. The licensed pros we connect you with treat the affected rooms and the entry points feeding them, not the whole house. Expect one visit, a focused perimeter check, and no attic work unless roof rats are suspected. | an estimated $85–$260 | usually 30 to 45 minutes |
| Standard service call, roof rats or scorpions | Covers a full walk of the house and the attic access point where roof rats travel, exterior treatment along the slab line, and a check of weep holes and door gaps for scorpions working in from a greenbelt near Berry Creek or Cimarron Hills. Fire ant mounds within the lawn get treated in the same stop, and the tech notes anything that needs a follow-up before leaving. | an estimated $100–$375 | same week in most cases |
| Active infestation across attic, walls, and slab | This tier covers a full-property job, not a single room: perimeter treatment plus interior work where activity shows, common on Georgetown homes backing a greenbelt near Cimarron Hills or Water Oak where scorpions and fire ants move in from the limestone. It includes attic and eave checks for roof rats, since the entry point is overhead, not at the slab. Expect a longer first visit and a follow-up scheduled within the season. | an estimated $150–$600 | half day to two days |
| Full exclusion with attic and roof line seal | This tier covers the whole-property jobs: a house near Berry Creek or Teravista with a scorpion problem coming in through weep holes and attic gaps, a roof rat nesting above the fascia near Wolf Ranch, or a slab crack near Sun City letting fire ants in after rain. The licensed pros we connect you with treat the exterior perimeter, attic access points, and interior trouble spots in one visit rather than piecemeal, which matters most on older Old Town lots with more entry points than a new slab build. | an estimated $240–$995 | Half day to a full day |
Cost by Where the Problem Is
Roof rats price differently than most people expect, because the work is almost all at roof height rather than at ground level. A tech has to get into the attic, check the soffits and gable vents, and trace the route in along a fence line or a limb that reaches the fascia near the roofline. That inspection time is most of the invoice on a rat job — sealing a gable vent or trimming back a branch is quick once the entry point is actually found.
| Location | Estimated cost | Why it varies |
|---|---|---|
| Attics and rooflines | an estimated $90–$230 | Kitchens and bathrooms near the San Gabriel River draw more attention, since scorpions and roaches both head for the same damp corners under sinks and around slab plumbing lines. Older Old Town properties with pier-and-beam construction add access points a newer slab home near Wolf Ranch simply doesn't have, so the inspection runs longer and the quote reflects that extra time. |
| Attic and Roofline Rat Entry | an estimated $120–$330 | Cost here tracks roof geometry, not square footage. A single-story house near Cimarron Hills with tight soffits costs less to seal than a two-story near Berry Creek backing onto tree cover, where limbs touch the fascia and give rodents a bridge onto the roof. Attic insulation soiled by nesting adds cleanup and sometimes replacement, which the licensed pros we connect you with will quote separately once they see the extent from inside the attic. |
| Attics and roof lines | an estimated $230–$750 | Pricing for attic work depends on how far the rats have spread before anyone calls, and how much roofline needs closing off afterward. A single gable vent repair costs less than sealing every entry point on a two-story house near Wolf Ranch or Berry Creek, and a light nesting area costs less to clear than months of droppings in blown insulation. The licensed pros we connect you with quote after seeing the attic, not before. |
| Attic and Roofline Access | an estimated $280–$850 | Access drives a lot of this. A pier-and-beam house gives a technician a crawl space to work from underneath; a slab-on-grade house, which is most of Georgetown, means every treatment happens at the exterior perimeter and whatever gaps exist at grade. Roof rats change the math again, since the real work is up at the eaves, gable vents and roofline rather than down low, so a two-story home or one with mature trees near the roofline can cost more to inspect properly than a single-story house on an open lot. |
| Attics, Eaves and Gable Vents | an estimated $190–$550 | Location moves the price because access does. A slab crack near the Square is a short visit. An attic entry above Wolf Ranch, where roof rats travel the fence lines and power drops, takes longer to seal at the eaves and gable vents. Near Lake Georgetown or the San Gabriel, damp ground draws scorpions and adds a treatment pass. The pros we connect you with quote the actual job, not a flat rate for Georgetown. |
| Attics, Eaves And Roof Lines | an estimated $100–$270 | Location moves the price because access does. A slab house off Williams Drive with a tight attic and low eaves takes longer to check for roof rats than an open ranch near Cedar Breaks Park. Limestone lots on the west side, toward Sun City and Cimarron Hills, often mean scorpion entry points around weep holes and foundation cracks that add inspection time. Old Town's pier-and-beam stock is the exception, and quoted separately. |
| Attics and roof lines | an estimated $80–$200 | Cost in Georgetown moves with what a house sits on and where it sits. Slab homes near Sun City or Berry Creek on the limestone west of I-35 see more scorpion and fire ant work; older pier-and-beam places near Old Town or the Square carry crawl-space labor most slab jobs skip. Roof rat jobs price by attic and roofline access, not square footage alone. |
| Old Town crawl space homes | an estimated $290–$1200 | Pricing here shifts with the ground under the house. Limestone lots toward Cimarron Hills and Water Oak see more scorpion and ant calls than clay-soil stretches near Berry Creek, and older pier-and-beam homes around Old Town take longer to inspect than a standard slab. Roof-level rodent entry near Wolf Ranch adds attic work most quotes near San Gabriel Park skip entirely. |
Six Things That Decide Your Final Price
What actually moves the number in Georgetown: which side of I-35 the house sits on, how long since it rained, and whether the problem is at the slab edge or up in the attic. Berry Creek clay opening a gap in drought calls for a different approach than a roof rat working the fascia line near Wolf Ranch. A tech who has walked the ground can price it. We cannot, sight unseen.
How Bad the Problem Is When We Look
Ground is the first thing that changes a quote in Georgetown. West of I-35, around Sun City and Cimarron Hills, the ground is Edwards limestone with fractures that carry water sideways instead of down, so a slab crack can open a path indoors during a drought and pull a fire ant colony in with it. East of I-35 the soil holds moisture differently, which shifts where a technician spends time. A pier-and-beam house near Old Town or the Square costs more to check than a slab, since there is a sub-floor to inspect that most newer Georgetown construction never had built in the first place.
What kind of ground you're building on
Ground matters more than square footage. A slab on caliche near Sun City or Cimarron Hills, with limestone fractures underneath, gives a licensed pro more entry points to seal than a newer pad in Teravista or Wolf Ranch. Roof rats add another variable, since the fix is at the fascia and gable vents rather than the foundation, and a steep or two-story roofline near Berry Creek takes longer to check and treat than a single story. Scorpion pressure along a greenbelt edge, common west toward DB Wood Road, also pushes the estimate up, since perimeter treatment there has more rock and cedar litter to work through.
Where the Job Is, and What's Under It
Where the house sits changes the estimate more than most homeowners expect. A slab near Berry Creek or Cimarron Hills, close to greenbelt limestone with loose rock and cedar cover, tends to draw more scorpion activity than a place in Teravista set back from that edge, and a call for roof rats working the fascia line off a fence or tree limb near Lake Georgetown usually takes longer than one indoors. New construction on the west side, still settling, can open the small gaps those pests use. The licensed pros we connect you with price the visit against what the property backs onto and what's actually gotten inside, not a flat number that ignores it.
How Your Home Is Built and Sits
What a Georgetown pro quotes often comes down to the ground the house sits on. West of I-35, places like Sun City, Cimarron Hills and the Water Oak side sit on Edwards limestone with fractures that move moisture sideways, and that changes where a bait station or barrier actually goes. Most homes here are slab-on-grade, so a straightforward slab job is quicker to price than one of the older pier-and-beam houses near Old Town or the Square, where access underneath adds time. A new-construction lot backing onto a greenbelt, common near Teravista or Berry Creek, tends to draw more scorpion and ant activity than an older, drier yard, and that shapes the estimate too.
Foundation Type Changes the Job
Slab-on-grade is the default across Georgetown, from Teravista to Sun City, so most treatments target the slab perimeter and expansion joints rather than a crawl space. Old Town and pockets near the Square still sit on pier-and-beam, and that changes the approach and the time on site. A tech working off Williams Drive on a 1990s slab is doing a different job than one working a pier-and-beam house near the San Gabriel River. Ask what's under the house before you compare two quotes, since a flat per-square-foot number often assumes slab construction and quietly skips the extra access work a crawl space needs.
Where the trouble hides matters
A quote in Georgetown often moves on access, not just square footage. A house near Berry Creek or Cimarron Hills with a limestone-fractured yard and a greenbelt behind it means more ground-level checking for scorpions and ants than a slab in Teravista with a plain fenced lawn. Roof rats push the cost toward attic and eave work rather than foundation work, since the entry points sit at fascia and gable vents. Old Town homes with pier-and-beam framing add a level modern slab houses near Wolf Ranch don't need. The pros we connect you with price the actual points of entry on your property, not a flat per-house rate.
What Is Free and What Costs Extra
None of this is a fixed number until someone has actually looked at the house. A one-story place off Williams Drive with a tight foundation is a different job than an older property near Old Town with a pier-and-beam section underneath it. The licensed pros we connect you with will give a real figure after walking the property, not before, and that walk-through is the part worth asking for up front.

| Attic and gable vent screening for roof rats | quoted after inspection |
| Attic and eave sealing for roof rats near rooflines | Estimated $150-$350 |
| sealing fascia and gable vent gaps roof rats use to enter | quoted after inspection |

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Pest Control in Texas?
One-time visits cost less upfront but usually cost more over a year than a quarterly plan, because a single treatment does not follow the seasonal pattern that drives most Georgetown calls — scorpions climbing from April through October, fire ants surging after rain, crickets piling up under porch lights each fall. A homeowner near Wolf Ranch Town Center who calls once in July often calls again in September for the same money a plan would have covered.
Often claimable
- Wood-destroying insect damage found during a Georgetown home sale inspection, since most homeowner policies exclude termite and pest repair costs entirely
- Structural damage from termites feeding on framing near the San Gabriel River or Berry Creek, once the damage is already done
- Wildlife exclusion work involving protected species like Mexican free-tailed bats around Sun City or Old Town rooflines
- Wood-destroying insect treatment when a licensed applicator's disclosure and diagram are on file with the estimate
Usually not covered
- Pre-existing damage found before coverage started, plus repairs to the structure itself once termites or moisture have already weakened wood near a slab foundation
- Pre-existing damage found before coverage started, including older wood decay near Old Town's pier-and-beam homes or prior scorpion entry points along Berry Creek and Cimarron Hills properties
- Pre-existing wood damage found once repairs start, whether near Old Town's older pier-and-beam stock or a Sun City slab
- Pre-existing structural damage found before any Georgetown inspection, including old wood loss near Old Town or aged slabs off Williams Drive that predate this treatment plan
- Bat exclusion or removal from a Berry Creek or Sun City attic, since colony work is federally and state protected and outside what a standard homeowner pest plan will pay for
Where you live in Georgetown affects the estimate more than most people assume. West of I-35, around Sun City or the DB Wood Road corridor, the limestone is fractured and drains sideways, which favors scorpions and keeps pressure fairly steady year to year. East of I-35, in the heavier clay under Georgetown Village or Katy Crossing, the ground itself opens gaps at the slab edge every time a drought breaks, and that is usually when the termite and ant calls spike together.
Why the Cheapest Quote Usually Costs More
Rental properties add a legal timeline on top of the treatment cost. Texas law requires written notice sent by a tracked method before the repair clock starts, and once it starts, the usual guidance is that the work should begin within about seven days for a problem that affects health or safety, roaches and rodents included. A landlord weighing one thorough visit against three cheaper ones should factor in that a documented delay can matter as much as the invoice.
Why the Lowest Bid Costs More
A quote well below the others usually means a shorter visit, a smaller pesticide load, or a plan that skips the attic where roof rats actually nest. Georgetown houses along Williams Drive and out past Wolf Ranch see the same fall cricket swarms and striped bark scorpion pressure as anywhere else in town, and a treatment sized for a cheaper number often misses the entry points around weep holes and gable vents that cause the second call. The licensed pros we connect you with price a job to cover the whole structure once, not to win the estimate. Paying twice for a job that should have worked the first time is the actual expensive option.
The Lowest Bid Skips Steps
A price well under everyone else's usually means something got left out. On a Georgetown scorpion job that might mean skipping the attic and gable vents where roof rats and scorpion cover both start, or spraying baseboards once instead of also sealing the slab cracks that let ants in after rain near Sun City and Cimarron Hills. Fire ant work that only knocks down visible mounds instead of treating the mated queens will look successful for two weeks, then rebuild after the next storm off the San Gabriel. The licensed pros we connect you with quote a scope, not just a number, so you know what is actually being done before you compare it against a cheaper call.
Why the Lowest Bid Costs More
A quote well under everyone else's usually means one visit and no follow-up if scorpions or fire ants turn up again in Sun City or Berry Creek a few weeks later. The licensed pros we connect you with price a return trip into the job from the start, because Georgetown's limestone ground west of I-35 gives pests plenty of cracks to come back through. A cheap first visit that skips attic and eave work also misses where roof rats actually nest. Paying twice for the same problem, once low and once again to fix it properly, ends up costing more than the higher quote near Wolf Ranch or Teravista would have in the first place.
A Low Bid Skips Something
In Georgetown the cheapest number usually means a shorter list, not a better price. A roof rat job that only baits the yard and never gets into the attic along Williams Drive or out past Wolf Ranch will look solved for a few weeks, then start over at the roofline where it began. A scorpion quote that skips weep holes and slab cracks near Sun City or Cimarron Hills works the same way. The licensed pros we connect you with price the whole job, inside and out, because half a treatment on limestone ground west of I-35 just delays the callback. Ask what is actually included before comparing two numbers side by side.
The cheapest quote in Georgetown is rarely the cheapest outcome. A low bid that skips the attic inspection on a roof rat job, or treats fire ant mounds without addressing why they came back after the last rain, tends to bring the homeowner back to square one within a season — at which point the second treatment adds to the first instead of replacing it.
Estimates Across Williamson County
None of the numbers above are a quote. The only way to get one is to have the licensed pros we connect you with look at the actual house — the slab, the roofline, the ground it sits on, whether it is east of I-35 in the clay or west in the limestone — and price the job that is actually in front of them, not an average one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pest control cost in Georgetown, TX?
Most Georgetown homeowners pay an estimated $99–$249 for a standard treatment, and an estimated $315–$895 across a full year on a recurring plan. Larger homes or established infestations run higher. The inspection is free and you get the figure in writing before any work starts.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. A technician assesses the property, identifies what you are dealing with, and gives you a written recommendation and estimate at no cost and with no obligation to book.
Why is a quarterly plan cheaper than one-time visits?
A one-time treatment carries the full call-out and set-up cost each visit. On a recurring plan that is spread across the year, so the per-visit price drops to an estimated $89–$139 and re-service between visits is included at no extra charge.
How much does termite treatment cost?
Termite work is one of the higher-cost jobs because of the equipment and follow-up involved. Expect an estimated $449–$1400 depending on the size of the structure, the treatment method, and how far the colony has spread.
How much does bed bug treatment cost?
Bed bug work is priced by the number of rooms and the treatment method. Most jobs run an estimated $299–$1100, and heat treatment sits at the upper end because of the equipment and time on site.
How much does rodent removal and exclusion cost?
Trapping and removal typically runs an estimated $189–$499. Sealing the entry points afterwards is quoted separately, usually an estimated $150–$650, and it is the part that actually stops them returning.
Do you charge for a callback if pests come back?
On a recurring protection plan, no. If pests return between scheduled visits we come back and re-treat at no additional charge. One-time treatments do not include ongoing re-service.
Does homeowners insurance cover pest control?
Routine pest control and preventative treatment are treated as home maintenance, so they are not covered. Termite and carpenter ant damage is also nearly always excluded as gradual damage. Sudden accidental damage from a covered event is a different situation and may be claimable, so check with your insurer.
Can I get a firm quote over the phone?
We can give you a realistic range on the phone once we know the pest and the size of the property, and that is usually enough to plan around. The exact figure comes after the free inspection, because guessing at the scope is how people end up with surprise charges.
Are there any hidden fees or call-out charges?
No. The price you are quoted in writing is the price for the work described. If the scope changes because we find something bigger, we tell you first and you decide before anything else is done.
How can I keep the cost down?
Call early. A problem caught in one room is a fraction of the cost of one that has spread through wall voids or the attic. Beyond that, a recurring plan is cheaper per visit than repeat one-time call-outs, and fixing moisture and sealing gaps prevents the expensive jobs entirely.
Do you serve the towns around Georgetown?
Yes. We cover Georgetown and the surrounding Williamson County communities, including Sun City, Berry Creek, Teravista, Wolf Ranch, Old Town Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park. Pricing is the same across the service area.
