The table below lists typical 2026 price ranges for pest control in Magnolia and Montgomery County. They're estimates, not quotes. Your price depends on the size of the home or lot, the pest, how established it is and how many visits it takes. The technician confirms the exact price after the inspection, and nothing is applied until you approve it.
Local conditions shape these numbers. Heavy rain means fire ants and mosquitoes often need repeat yard treatments, wooded lots add scorpion and tick pressure, and termite work depends on the slab, the soil and how much of the foundation needs treating.

Five things that move your quote
Size of the home or lot
A larger house or a multi-acre wooded lot takes more product and more time than a small home on a neighborhood lot.
Timing of the call
Night, weekend and holiday calls add an after-hours fee of $50–$150, which is part of the price you approve.
Construction and access
Slab edges under patios, crawl spaces, tight attics and finished garages change how termite and rodent work is done.
Type of pest
Bed bugs and termites take far more labor than an ant or spider treatment, so they sit at the top of the price range.
How established the problem is
A few roaches caught early may need one visit, while a heavy German roach infestation usually needs two or three.

Frequently asked questions
How firm are the price ranges on this page?
They're typical ranges for Magnolia and Montgomery County in 2026, not quotes. Your exact price depends on the pest, the size of the home or lot and how far the problem has spread. The technician confirms it after inspecting, and you approve it before any treatment begins.
Is a bait system or a liquid treatment better for termites?
Both work when installed well. A liquid treatment, typically $1,200–$3,000, creates a treated zone in the soil around the foundation. A bait system, typically $1,200–$2,500 plus $300–$500 a year for monitoring, uses stations that colonies feed on. The right choice depends on your slab, landscaping and budget.
Why does mosquito control need monthly visits?
Barrier treatments wear down with sun and rain over a few weeks, and new mosquitoes hatch from standing water every week in warm weather. Monthly visits in season, typically $65–$110 each, keep resting areas like shrubs and shady fence lines treated. Dumping water from saucers, toys and gutters makes each visit work better.
Is it cheaper to treat fire ants myself?
For a small yard, store-bought bait can work if you follow the label and Texas A&M AgriLife's Two-Step Method. A professional yard treatment, typically $120–$300 per lot, makes more sense for large or wooded lots, repeated flare-ups after rain, or when you'd rather not handle the products yourself.
