About PestCost

PestCost publishes free, independent cost calculators for pest control. The idea is simple: when you have roaches, a rodent in the attic, or a termite scare, it’s hard to know whether a $200 quote or a $2,000 quote is fair. We turn scattered 2026 pricing data into a clear estimate you can check in a minute — before you call anyone.

Who’s behind it

Estimates are compiled and reviewed by Marcus Ellery, our Pest Control Editor. Marcus Ellery leads editorial at PestCost. He compiles pricing from pest-control cost databases, published 2026 cost guides, and real quote ranges, then pressure-tests every estimator against them. He is not a licensed pest-control operator — our tools are planning estimates, not bids.

Our promise

• Show our sources and our math on every page.
• Never invent reviews, ratings, or credentials.
