How Much Does Pest Control Cost in Miami-Dade County? 2026 Pricing Guide
General pest control, termite treatment, mosquito service, and more β 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 β 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: $150β$350 for a standard single-family home. Covers the most common household pests β cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, and general crawling insects.
Quarterly service plan: $90β$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 $360β$600.
Monthly service: Less common but available for homes with persistent pressure or large properties. $80β$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): $600β$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 β the norm in Miami-Dade β typically costs more than wood-frame homes because of the slab drilling involved.
Termite bait monitoring system: $300β$600 installation plus $150β$300 annually for monitoring and bait replacement. Most effective as ongoing prevention or in combination with liquid treatment.
Drywood termite spot treatment: $300β$600 per infested area. Effective only when all infested wood can be identified.
Structural fumigation (tent fumigation): $1,200β$3,500 for a typical Miami-Dade home, depending on cubic footage. The most comprehensive drywood termite treatment β eliminates all life stages throughout the structure. Larger homes, CBS construction, and homes with complex rooflines cost more.
Termite protection bond (annual): $150β$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: $75β$150 per treatment for a typical residential yard. Most effective when done monthly during rainy season (MayβOctober), though year-round service is recommended.
Monthly mosquito program: $90β$175 per month. Includes barrier spray plus larvicide application to any water features.
Mosquito misting system installation: $2,500β$5,000 installed, depending on property size and coverage area. Ongoing refill costs add $50β$100 per service.
Rodent Control Pricing
Roof rat inspection and exclusion estimate: $0β$150 for the assessment. Most companies offer free inspections.
Roof rat exclusion (entry point sealing): $300β$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: $200β$450 for a trapping service including placement, monitoring, and removal over 2β4 weeks.
Full exclusion plus trapping program: $500β$1,400 combined.
Bed Bug Treatment Pricing
Whole-room heat treatment: $1,200β$2,500 for a single bedroom. Whole-home heat treatment for a typical Miami-Dade house runs $2,500β$5,000. Heat is the gold standard β it reaches temperatures lethal to bed bugs at every life stage and is typically completed in one treatment.
Chemical treatment (multiple visits): $600β$1,400 for a bedroom over 2β3 visits. Lower upfront cost but requires more preparation and follow-up visits.
Combination protocol (heat plus chemical): $1,500β$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: $150β$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: $100β$250 for a residential lot using broadcast bait. Re-treatment recommended every 3β6 months.
Iguana Removal Pricing
Professional iguana trapping and removal: $200β$500 per visit, depending on number of iguanas removed. Multiple visits are typically needed for established populations.
Seawall exclusion barrier: $15β$30 per linear foot installed.
Tree banding (slick metal trunk barriers): $50β$150 per tree.

Getting an Accurate Quote in Miami-Dade
