What does restaurant pest control cost?

Published price ranges (2026)

Figures from published 2026 pricing guides, not FirstBearing quotes. The second guide covers New York City, which runs higher than most markets.

• Monthly visits: about $75–$150 per visit ($900–$1,800 a year)
• Quarterly visits: about $100–$250 per visit ($400–$1,000 a year)
• One-time treatment: about $150–$500
• NYC café or quick-service kitchen: about $100–$300 a month
• NYC full-service restaurant: about $200–$500 a month
• NYC high-volume kitchen, bar or multi-kitchen: about $300–$800 a month

What affects the price

• Kitchen and dining area size
• Visit frequency — monthly is usual for food service
• An active infestation needing initial clean-out visits
• Number of monitoring stations and traps
• Documentation you need for inspectors or a franchise

Comparing quotes fairly

• Ask for a written service report after every visit
• Ask what's covered between visits if you see activity
• Ask which products they use around food areas
• Ask for proof of license and insurance
