How Much Does Pest Control Cost in Miami-Dade County? 2026 Pricing Guide
General pest control, termite treatment, mosquito service, and more — actual price ranges from licensed Miami-Dade exterminators, plus what drives costs up or down in South Florida.
What Does Pest Control Actually Cost in Miami-Dade?
Miami-Dade County's tropical climate means pest control isn't seasonal — it's year-round. That affects both how often you need service and what you should expect to pay. Prices here reflect the complexity of South Florida's pest landscape: multiple termite species, year-round mosquito pressure, and invasive species like iguanas that simply don't exist in other US markets.
Here's a breakdown of what licensed Miami-Dade pest control companies typically charge in 2026.
General Pest Control Pricing
One-time treatment: $150–$350 for a standard single-family home. Covers the most common household pests — cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, and general crawling insects.
Quarterly service plan: $90–$150 per visit (billed quarterly). Most Miami-Dade pest control companies recommend quarterly service over one-time treatments because of the year-round pest pressure in Zone 10. Annual cost typically runs $360–$600.
Monthly service: Less common but available for homes with persistent pressure or large properties. $80–$120 per visit.
What's typically included: exterior perimeter treatment, interior crack-and-crevice treatment, baiting for ants and cockroaches, de-webbing, and a re-service guarantee if pests return between scheduled visits.
Termite Treatment Pricing in Miami-Dade
Termite treatment costs vary significantly by termite species, infestation extent, and property size.
Liquid soil treatment (subterranean termites): $600–$1,800 for an average single-family home, depending on linear footage of the foundation and whether drilling through a slab is required. CBS (concrete block) construction — the norm in Miami-Dade — typically costs more than wood-frame homes because of the slab drilling involved.
Termite bait monitoring system: $300–$600 installation plus $150–$300 annually for monitoring and bait replacement. Most effective as ongoing prevention or in combination with liquid treatment.
Drywood termite spot treatment: $300–$600 per infested area. Effective only when all infested wood can be identified.
Structural fumigation (tent fumigation): $1,200–$3,500 for a typical Miami-Dade home, depending on cubic footage. The most comprehensive drywood termite treatment — eliminates all life stages throughout the structure. Larger homes, CBS construction, and homes with complex rooflines cost more.
Termite protection bond (annual): $150–$400 per year for annual inspections and treatment warranty. Essential in Miami-Dade given the extreme termite pressure.
Mosquito Control Pricing
Individual barrier spray treatment: $75–$150 per treatment for a typical residential yard. Most effective when done monthly during rainy season (May–October), though year-round service is recommended.
Monthly mosquito program: $90–$175 per month. Includes barrier spray plus larvicide application to any water features.
Mosquito misting system installation: $2,500–$5,000 installed, depending on property size and coverage area. Ongoing refill costs add $50–$100 per service.
Rodent Control Pricing
Roof rat inspection and exclusion estimate: $0–$150 for the assessment. Most companies offer free inspections.
Roof rat exclusion (entry point sealing): $300–$900 depending on number of penetrations and roof access complexity. Barrel tile roofs in Miami-Dade typically cost more because of the difficulty of properly sealing hip and ridge areas.
Interior trapping program: $200–$450 for a trapping service including placement, monitoring, and removal over 2–4 weeks.
Full exclusion plus trapping program: $500–$1,400 combined.
Bed Bug Treatment Pricing
Whole-room heat treatment: $1,200–$2,500 for a single bedroom. Whole-home heat treatment for a typical Miami-Dade house runs $2,500–$5,000. Heat is the gold standard — eliminates all life stages in one treatment.
Chemical treatment (multiple visits): $600–$1,400 for a bedroom over 2–3 visits. Lower upfront cost but requires more preparation and follow-up visits.
Combination protocol (heat plus chemical): $1,500–$3,000 for a bedroom. Recommended for commercial properties or severe infestations.
Hotel/rental property programs: Priced per unit or per floor. Call for custom commercial bed bug quotes.
Ant Control Pricing
Ghost ant or fire ant treatment: $150–$350 for a one-time visit. Ongoing quarterly service is more cost-effective for persistent ghost ant pressure, which is extremely common in Miami-Dade.
Fire ant yard treatment: $100–$250 for a residential lot using broadcast bait. Re-treatment recommended every 3–6 months.
Iguana Removal Pricing
Professional iguana trapping and removal: $200–$500 per visit, depending on number of iguanas removed. Multiple visits are typically needed for established populations.
Seawall exclusion barrier: $15–$30 per linear foot installed.
Tree banding (slick metal trunk barriers): $50–$150 per tree.
What Drives Costs Up or Down in Miami-Dade
Factors that increase cost:
• CBS (concrete block) construction — requires slab drilling for termite soil treatment
• Large properties with extensive landscaping
• Barrel tile roofs (harder to seal for rodent exclusion)
• Severe or widespread infestations
• Waterfront locations (iguana pressure, seawall work)
• Multi-unit or commercial properties
Factors that reduce cost:
• Ongoing service plans vs. one-time treatments
• Bundled services (general pest plus mosquito plus termite)
• New construction or recently treated properties
• Condos and apartments (smaller individual footprint)
Getting an Accurate Quote in Miami-Dade
Prices vary across the county. A general pest control quote for a Coral Gables estate on a half-acre will differ substantially from a Brickell condo. The best approach is to request an in-person inspection and written estimate before committing — reputable Miami-Dade pest control companies provide this at no charge.
