In Southeast Michigan, general pest control starts at $209 for an interior and exterior treatment.

What Affects the Price
Five factors move a starting price toward the final quote:
- Property square footage. BTR's starting prices cover homes under 4,000 sq ft. Larger properties are quoted after inspection.
- Pest type. Bed bugs, German cockroaches, and rodents require multi-visit protocols, so they cost more than a single ant or wasp treatment.
- Severity of infestation. A scouting mouse and a wall-void breeding population get the same diagnostic but different scopes.
- One-time vs plan. A single visit treats today's problem; the Seasonal Package's three visits prevent next season's.
- Extras for bed-bug work. The base bed-bug price covers one bed or couch under 4,000 sq ft. Each additional bed or couch is $99. The second treatment is half the first.
What's Included in Every BTR Treatment
Every BTR service includes:
- Licensed Michigan applicators (BTR license #87-2541579).
- Free written estimates — the only paid inspection is the $99 standard inspection (and that fee applies to any service booked within 12 months).
- 90-day warranty on most services. If the pest comes back inside the warranty window, BTR comes back free.
- EPA-approved professional products with strategic placement away from kids and pets.
- Half-price second treatment on bed-bug, cockroach, and flea services where a follow-up is recommended.
- 30-day trapping window on wildlife removal, plus 6 months of station monitoring on rat and exterior-rodent service.
One-Time Treatment vs Seasonal Plan: Which Saves Money?
A one-time treatment is the right call when you have one specific active problem — a wasp nest, a roach issue, a single rodent service. It solves today's pest and ends there.
The Seasonal Package at $550 per year covers three visits timed to Michigan's pest year — an interior + exterior treatment in spring, an exterior barrier in summer, and an exterior treatment in fall. It works out to about $183 per visit, which is below the $209 starting price of a single General Spray. Seasonal customers also get additional discounts on services not covered by the package (carpenter ants, stinging insects, rodents).
If pests are a yearly issue rather than a one-time emergency, the seasonal plan is the lower-cost-per-visit option and the only one that prevents next season's problem before it starts. See the Michigan Seasonal Pest Calendar for when each pest peaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pest control cost in Michigan?
General pest control in Southeast Michigan starts at $209 for an interior and exterior treatment. The full BTR Pest Control price list ranges from $99 for a standard inspection to $550 for a year-round seasonal plan, with 24 specialized services in between. Final price depends on the pest, property size, and severity.
Why is bed bug treatment so expensive?
Bed bug treatment is labor-intensive and multi-visit. The technician treats every baseboard, dresser drawer, side-table drawer, and one bed or couch in the home. The home must be vacated for 4–6 hours. Each additional bed or couch is $99. The second treatment is half the first. BTR's bed-bug price starts at $399.
Is professional pest control worth the cost?
Professional service is worth the cost when DIY would either fail (carpenter ants, German cockroaches, bed bugs, established rodent populations) or be unsafe (large or in-ground wasp nests). Licensed applicators use products that retail stores do not sell, and BTR backs most services with a 90-day warranty.
Does pest control cost more for larger homes?
Yes. BTR's starting prices cover homes under 4,000 square feet. Larger properties are quoted after a free inspection. The price reflects the additional product, time, and entry points covered, not a per-square-foot multiplier.
How often do I need to pay for pest control?
One-time service handles a single problem. The $550 Seasonal Package covers three visits per year — spring interior + exterior, summer exterior, fall exterior — for full-year protection. Multi-visit services like rodent control and bed-bug treatment include their follow-up visits in the original price.
Does homeowners insurance cover pest control?
Standard homeowners policies do not cover routine pest control. Most policies exclude damage from infestations and treat pest issues as a maintenance responsibility. Some policies do cover wildlife structural damage (e.g., raccoon roof damage) — check your policy.
What is the cheapest way to get rid of pests?
Prevention is the cheapest path: sealing entry points, removing food sources, and scheduling exterior service before a season starts. Once an infestation is established, professional treatment is almost always cheaper than DIY attempts that fail and let the population grow.
How does BTR compare to free quotes from other companies?
BTR publishes starting prices for all 24 services, so the quote is the starting point of the conversation rather than the result of it. Most other companies require a free inspection before they will share a number. For Michigan homeowners who want to compare apples to apples, BTR's published list is the apples.
