Flea extermination costs $75 to $400 for a single visit, with Angi and HomeAdvisor both publishing a $270 national average.1,2 Fixr publishes the same $270 average for an initial plus follow-up treatment, within a $200 to $350 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, treatment method, home size, and how many visits are needed.
Safety note: the National Pesticide Information Center states that fleas can transmit diseases and possibly affect the health of people and pets if they are not controlled, and advises reading and following all label directions on any pesticide product used.4

What the sources say

|---|---|---|
| Angi (updated Sep 2026) | $270 national average; most pay $75 – $400 for a single visit | Add-ons like exterior spraying add $150 – $300; follow-up fees run up to $200 |
| HomeAdvisor (2025 data, updated Jun 2026) | $270 average; same $75 – $400 normal range for inspection and first treatment | Corporate sibling of Angi – matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration. Second visit $75 – $200 |

All three publishers state a $270 national average under different stated scopes – Fixr defines it as an initial plus follow-up treatment – and all figures are presented as published. Angi and HomeAdvisor are corporate siblings; Fixr’s figures are separately published and older (January 2025), with no shared sourcing stated.
