Moth extermination costs $90 to $500 depending on the treatment method and the size of the infestation.1,2,3 Fixr publishes a $150 national average for a professional fumigation treatment of a kitchen or pantry using chemicals or heat treatment, within a $100 to $200 average range, from a guide updated in January 2025.3 Angi prices a one-time service at $100 to $200, from a 2026 guide updated August 2026.1 Prices below are national averages*.
*National averages, not local quotes. Angi figures are from a 2026 guide updated August 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 the treatment method, the infestation size, and the area affected.

What the sources say
| Source | Headline figures | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Angi (updated Aug 2026) | One-time service $100 – $200; treatments $90 – $350 by method | Prices labor at $50 – $75 per hour, about 60% to 80% of the total cost |
| HomeAdvisor (2025 data, updated Jun 2026) | Same per-method figures as Angi; fumigation $150 – $350 for one area, $350 – $500 for the whole house | Corporate sibling of Angi – matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration |
| Fixr (updated Jan 2025) | $150 national average for fumigation of a kitchen or pantry using chemicals or heat; range $100 – $200; low-end $90 (parasitic wasps for a small infestation); high-end $500 (a 1,500 sq.ft. home with a serious infestation) | Average covers a defined job scope |
All three publishers present identical per-method and per-severity figures. For the sibling pair, matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration; Fixr’s matching tables are separately published figures, and the pages state no shared sourcing.
Cost by treatment method
All three sources publish the same per-treatment ranges for the four primary methods.1,2,3
| Method | Cost per treatment | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Parasitic wasps | $90 – $100 | Cards containing Trichogramma wasp eggs are placed around the infested area; a follow-up visit may be required |
| Chemical treatment | $100 – $250 | A single pesticide application in a standard-size yard, for outdoor moths |
| Heat treatment | $120 – $300 | Treatment of clothing, textiles, and carpeted areas, priced by treatment volume or area |
| Fumigation | $150 – $350 | Fog or mist pesticide treatment of the affected area |
HomeAdvisor prices whole-house fumigation higher, at $350 – $500, and notes chemical treatments are generally used for moths outside the home.2
Cost by home or room size
Fixr (2025) prices moth treatment by home or room size per visit, and also at $0.10 – $0.25 per sq.ft., noting some exterminators only charge per square foot for spaces larger than 1,000 sq.ft.3
| Size of home or room | Cost per visit (Fixr, 2025) |
|---|---|
| 500 sq.ft. | $100 – $200 |
| 1,000 sq.ft. | $100 – $250 |
| 1,500 sq.ft. | $150 – $375 |
| 2,000 sq.ft. | $200 – $500 |

| Medium | $100 – $200 |
| Large | $200 – $400 |

The identical severity figures are separately published across different owners, and the pages state no shared sourcing.

Angi prices lawn moth extermination at the same $90 – $130, noting the exterminator may bring in a landscaper.1
