The cost of pest control in India 2026 generally ranges from ₹800 - ₹9,000 per visit. To be honest, the figure largely depends on what kind of pest you are facing. The cheapest are cockroach and general pest control, bed bugs and rodents are mid-range and termite treatment is the most expensive. Here’s a breakdown by pest to give you a rough idea before a technician even arrives.
Quick answer: Cockroach and general pest control ₹800 to ₹1,800 per visit. Cost of Bed Bug Treatment: ₹1,500 - ₹4,000 Rodent Control Charges – ₹1,200 to ₹3,500 Next, the termite treatment is the costliest. It ranges from ₹3,000 to ₹9,000 and above for bigger properties.

These are national averages for a standard 2-3 BHK home. Your city, how big the place is, and how bad the infestation's gotten will all nudge your quote around within these ranges.
Quick answer: Cockroach control and ant treatment stays cheap because it's odorless gel baits and sprays applied to visible surfaces, takes about an hour, no drilling, no evacuation, barely any equipment involved.
A technician dabs gel bait into cabinets, hinges, and dark corners, and that's basically the whole job. Makes sense why it lands at ₹800 to ₹1,800, you're mostly paying for an hour of someone's time and a small amount of chemical.
Quick answer: Termite treatment costs ₹3,000 to ₹9,000 or more because it involves a "drill-fill-seal" method, drilling into walls and flooring, injecting termiticide, sealing everything back up, plus a multi-year warranty that reflects just how involved the job is.
This one is not even close to a quick spritz. Termites do far more than cosmetic damage, chewing through wooden beams, ceiling joists, door frames and cabinets and by the time you spot the damage, the infestation is usually well underway. That’s pretty much why the treatment needs specialized equipment and takes a full day instead of an hour and why the price tag reflects all of that. Termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage every single year.
Nowhere near a quick spray, this one. Termites go well past cosmetic damage, chewing through wooden beams, ceiling joists, door frames, cabinets, and by the time you actually spot the damage, the infestation's usually already deep. The EPA notes termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage annually, which is basically why the treatment needs specialized equipment and eats up a full day instead of an hour, and why the price tag reflects all of that.
Quick answer: Bed bug treatment costs ₹1,500 to ₹4,000, and the range swings hard depending on how bad the infestation is, since bed bug eggs shrug off most over-the-counter sprays and often need a second round to actually finish the job.
Unlike a one-and-done cockroach visit, bed bugs often require a follow-up 2 to 3 weeks after the initial treatment, because any eggs that survived round one hatch right around then. That’s a big reason why quotes for the same exact home can differ so much between providers, some are pricing a single visit, some are quietly pricing the full two-visit cycle into one number upfront.
Quick answer: Rodent control costs between ₹1,200 and ₹3,500. This includes bait stations, trapping and sealing up entry points. The higher end is for larger homes or rodent problems that have been around a while.
Rodent treatment costs differ depending on the number of entry points that need sealing, and whether you’re booking a one-off treatment or ongoing bait station service, which some companies include in a monthly plan rather than a flat rate.
Quick answer: For most homes, yes. An AMC covering 3 to 4 visits a year costs ₹3,000 to ₹9,000, works out cheaper than booking each visit on its own, and usually throws in free re-treatment if pests show back up between scheduled visits.
If it's just a one-off ant problem, a single visit gets the job done. But for recurring cockroach or general pest issues, which honestly is most homes at some point, an AMC saves money over the year and takes the remembering-to-book part off your plate entirely. Termite AMCs work a little differently though, they're usually just inspection visits once the initial treatment's warranty runs out, since drill-fill-seal isn't something you repeat every year like a spray.
Home size. A 1 BHK costs less than a 3 BHK or villa, simply more square footage to cover.
Severity of infestation. A minor sighting needs one visit. Something heavier might need 2 to 3 sessions, especially with bed bugs.
City and locality. Metro cities tend to run a bit higher because of labor costs, though usually that's a few hundred rupees, not some dramatic jump.
Direct booking vs. commission apps. Booking directly with a provider instead of going through a commission-based marketplace can save a decent chunk per treatment, since that marketplace cut gets baked right into your quote.
Chemical type. Odorless, herbal, or eco-friendly treatments tend to cost more than the standard chemical spray.
One-time visit vs. AMC. Already covered above, but worth repeating, an AMC usually beats paying per visit.
Get two or three quotes before booking. Prices for the exact same job can vary more than you'd expect between providers.
Confirm the operator's licensed under the Insecticides Act, 1968, which governs who's actually allowed to sell or use pest control chemicals in India.
Ask for a written warranty period and the full list of chemicals being used, before treatment starts, not after.
For termite work, ask whether the quote's per treatment or per square foot, and whether it covers just the initial job or follow-up inspections too.
For bed bugs specifically, confirm upfront whether the price covers a single visit or the full two-visit cycle. That's where quotes tend to diverge the most.
