Pest control prices in Dallas
A one-time general pest treatment in southwest Dallas typically costs $165–$325, and a quarterly plan runs $95–$160 per visit after a $150–$275 first service. Liquid termite treatment on a typical slab home runs $1,200–$3,000. All figures are 2026 estimates for Dallas County; the exact price is confirmed and approved before treatment.
Dallas prices sit close to other big Texas metros. What moves a quote here is the house and the lot: a two-story home, a wooded acre in Cedar Hill or Ovilla, a 1915 bungalow on piers or a yard full of beds and landscape rock all take more time and product than a one-story slab home on a city lot.
Use the table for a ballpark, then call for a range based on your address. The cost guide for Dallas explains each line in more depth, and a termite inspection is the place to start before a home sale or after foundation work.

Five things that move your quote
Size and height of the house
A one-story slab ranch sits near the low end. Two stories, a big attic or a long roofline add time, product and ladder work.
Lot, trees and landscaping
Wooded escarpment lots in Cedar Hill and Ovilla, landscape rock and deep flower beds give scorpions and fire ants more cover, and add ground to treat.
Foundation type
Pier-and-beam houses in Winnetka Heights and Kessler need crawlspace work for termites and rodents, so their termite price is set after an inspection.
How settled in the pests are
A few roaches is one visit. A heavy German roach population, an attic full of roof rats or a mature termite colony takes more trips.
When the visit happens
Regular daytime visits carry no extra fee. A night or emergency visit can add an after-hours charge, and that is stated before booking.

Frequently asked questions
How close will my final price be to these ranges?
Most typical homes land inside them. The ranges reflect common Dallas–Fort Worth pricing for ordinary properties, not a fixed price list. After the technician sees your house and yard, you get a firm number, and treatment starts only once you approve it.
What does a termite check cost before I sell my house?
A basic termite inspection is estimated at free to $150. A wood-destroying insect (WDI) report for a sale is its own item, estimated at $85–$175. Book it early in the listing so there's time to treat if the inspection turns up activity.
Why does a pier-and-beam house cost more for termites?
A crawlspace has more to treat: every pier, the soil around it, plumbing runs and the skirting. That's why liquid treatment for pier-and-beam homes is quoted after inspection, while a typical slab home is estimated at $1,200–$3,000. A bait system, estimated at $1,200–$2,800 to install, is another option.
Why do scorpion jobs often need a second visit?
Striped bark scorpions hide deep in rock, firewood and wall voids, so one visit rarely reaches them all. Spider or scorpion treatment is estimated at $150–$325, and the technician says up front whether a follow-up is included or priced separately. Sealing gaps between visits helps a lot.
