❓ Cost FAQs

How much does it cost to get rid of mice?
A basic mouse control service ($100-$200 per visit) addresses existing mice. Complete exclusion ($200-$500) seals entry points to prevent reinfestation β€” always more cost-effective long-term than repeated trap-only service calls.
Will homeowners insurance cover rodent damage?
Standard homeowners policies typically don't cover pest damage. Rodent-caused fire damage (from chewed wiring) may sometimes be covered depending on policy language. Document the damage and contact your insurer directly.
