FAQ
General Pest Control — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about general pest control in Washington, D.C., including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does general pest control cost in DC?
General Pest Control is billed at a flat $199/hr, 1-hour minimum, no matter the pest type or severity. Every job includes an inspection and an upfront estimate before any work begins — the rate never changes based on what we find.
What pests does general pest control cover?
Our general service covers cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, centipedes, crickets, and other common household insects. Specialized pests like bed bugs, termites, rodents, and wildlife require dedicated services.
How often should I get pest control in DC?
For most DC apartments, quarterly service (every 3 months) provides reliable prevention. Monthly service is recommended for ground-floor apartments, rowhouses, and buildings with known pest issues.
Is regular pest control necessary in DC?
In DC, yes. The density of housing, shared walls, aging infrastructure, and proximity to food sources make regular pest management essential. Preventive treatment is far more effective and less expensive than treating active infestations.
Are your treatments safe for pets and children?
Yes. We use EPA-approved products with targeted application methods that minimize exposure. Gel baits and crack-and-crevice treatments keep products away from contact surfaces. We provide specific safety guidance for your household.
