Cockroach extermination costs $100 to $600 for a single treatment, with Angi and HomeAdvisor both publishing a $200 national average.1,2 Fixr publishes a $300 national average for a defined job – glue and bait treatment over two visits – within a $150 to $450 range.3 Prices below are national averages*.
*National averages, not local quotes. Angi figures are from a 2026 guide updated September 2026, HomeAdvisor figures are from a 2025-data guide updated June 2026, and Fixr figures are from a guide updated January 2025. Your price depends on infestation severity, home size, treatment method, and how many visits are needed.
Safety note: the National Pesticide Information Center states that indoor cockroach infestations may cause allergy and asthma symptoms to get worse.4 If a pesticide is used, NPIC advises always reading and following the label directions carefully.4

What the sources say
| Source | Headline figures | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Angi (updated Sep 2026) | $200 national average; most pay $100 – $600 for a single treatment | Minor infestations $100 – $400 per treatment; major $300 – $700 |
| HomeAdvisor (2025 data, updated Jun 2026) | $200 average; same $100 – $600 normal range | Corporate sibling of Angi – matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration |
| Fixr (updated Jan 2025) | $300 national average for glue and bait treatment over two visits; average range $150 – $450; low-end $100 for one visit; high-end $1,600 (Fixr scopes this as full inspection, house tenting, and monthly follow-ups, which differs from its separately listed tenting price below; the source doesn’t explain the difference) | Five-tier severity scale from $100 – $150 (small) to $610 – $1,600 (extreme) |
The sibling pair publishes identical headline figures, presented as published. Fixr’s figures are separately published and older (January 2025), with no shared sourcing stated.
Cost by home size
| Home size | Angi/HomeAdvisor (matching) | Fixr (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 sq. ft. | $100 – $150 | $100 – $150 |
| 1,500 sq. ft. | $150 – $250 | $150 – $250 |
| 2,000 sq. ft. | $250 – $350 | $250 – $350 |
| 2,500 sq. ft. | $350 – $450 | $350 – $450 |
| 3,000 sq. ft. | $450 – $550 | $450 – $550 |
| 3,500 sq. ft. | not listed | $550 – $650 |
All five shared rows match across the sibling pair and Fixr – separately published figures, and the pages state no shared sourcing.
Cost by treatment type
| Treatment | Angi/HomeAdvisor (matching) | Fixr (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Insecticide spray | $40 – $100 | $40 – $100 |
| Glue traps | $100 – $600 | $100 – $600 |
| Gel bait | $100 – $600 | $100 – $600 |
| Boric acid dust | $100 – $600 | $100 – $600 |
| Fumigation | $1,000 – $3,000 (HomeAdvisor adds $1 – $4 per sq. ft.) | $2,500 – $7,500 (tenting included, 2,500 sq. ft. home) |
| Tenting | $2,500 – $7,500 | included in fumigation above |
| Heat treatment | not listed | $2,500 – $7,500 (2,500 sq. ft. home) |
Spray, glue, gel, and dust figures match across all three pages – separately published figures for Fixr, and the pages state no shared sourcing. The fumigation rows diverge under different stated scopes – the siblings price fumigation and tenting separately while Fixr prices a tented fumigation – and are presented as published with no conclusion about why they differ.
Cost by infestation severity
| Level | Angi/HomeAdvisor (matching, per visit) | Fixr (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Minor / small | $100 – $400 | $100 – $150 |
| Medium | not listed | $160 – $250 |
| Major / large | $300 – $700 | $260 – $350 |
| Severe | not listed | $360 – $600 |
| Extreme | not listed | $610 – $1,600 |
The two publishers use different tier structures, so the columns are presented side by side as published rather than merged. The siblings’ severe tier is omitted: their own materials state its cost two different ways, an unresolved internal discrepancy.
Cost by visit frequency
| Frequency | Angi/HomeAdvisor (matching, per visit) | Fixr (2025, per year) |
|---|---|---|
| One-time | $100 – $400 per visit | $150 – $450 |
| Monthly | $50 – $100 per visit | $900 – $1,600 |
| Quarterly | $50 – $100 per visit | $400 – $700 |
| Annual | $200 – $1,000 per visit | $100 – $250 |
The sibling pair prices per visit while Fixr prices per year, so the presentations are not directly comparable; both are presented as published. Fixr notes these figures exclude the initial diagnostic visit, typically $40 – $75.
Cost by company (Fixr, 2025)
| Company | Average one-time visit |
|---|---|
| Rentokil | $100 – $220 (annual contract with monthly treatments) |
| Terminix | $150 – $350 per visit (quarterly contract; sign-up fee $100 – $150) |
| Orkin | $150 – $450 per visit (no contract required) |
Other costs
| Item | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Initial inspection | $40 – $75 (may be waived or rolled into treatment) | Fixr (2025) |
| Travel fee for rural areas | $40 – $75 | Fixr (2025) |
| Integrated pest management (ongoing, multiple pests) | $200 – $400 for most pests; up to $2,000 for very large infestations | Fixr (2025) |
