- Shared walls allow re-infestation from neighbors

Single-Family Homes: Price range: $600-$1,500

Why Cheap Cockroach Control Fails (And What to Watch For)
Red Flags When Getting Quotes
Too-Low Pricing: Cockroach treatment for under $300 often means:
- Consumer-grade products (same as store-bought spray)
- No follow-up treatment included
- Unlicensed operator
- Surface-only treatment (misses harborage areas)
- No guarantee
Result: Temporary reduction, not elimination. Roaches return worse.
What "Complete" Treatment Actually Requires:
- Professional gel bait (not spray-only)
- Access to all harborage areas
- Follow-up to catch new hatchlings
- Minimum 2 visits
Single-visit spray-only treatments for cockroaches have a 60-80% failure rate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cockroach Treatment Costs
Is the $500 price really all-inclusive?
Yes. Our $500 starting price includes inspection, full gel bait treatment, residual spray, follow-up visit, and 30-day guarantee. No hidden fees.
Can I negotiate the price?
We offer price matching. Bring a written quote from another licensed Calgary exterminator and we'll match or beat it.
Is one treatment enough?
For light infestations, sometimes yes. For German cockroaches (Calgary's most common), a follow-up is almost always needed to catch newly hatched nymphs. That's why our follow-up is included.
Does insurance cover cockroach treatment?
Most home insurance doesn't cover pest control. However, if cockroaches caused damage (unlikely), structural damage may be covered. Tenants may be covered by landlord - ask your property manager.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, Interac e-Transfer, Visa, Mastercard, and cheque.
