What a typical Phoenix rodent job comes to
Most homes need the initial visit plus one to three follow-ups, depending on how established the population is:
- Mice caught early. Initial service plus one follow-up: $340
- Roof rats in the attic. Initial service plus two to three follow-ups: $435 to $530, plus exclusion if you want them to stay out
- Roof rats with entry points to seal (Solve). One quoted price per home that covers trapping, every follow-up and full exclusion with a 2-year warranty, so the $95 follow-ups stop adding up
- Pack rats on a desert-edge lot. Initial service plus follow-ups and exterior harborage removal, quoted once we locate the midden
Trapping ends the infestation you have now. Rodent exclusion is what stops the next one, and it is the line item most worth spending money on. If you are handling trapping, exclusion, and attic cleanup together, ask about financing.
Is the rodent inspection free?
Yes. Every rodent job starts with a free 61-point inspection of the attic, roofline, garage and exterior, and you get a written quote before any work is scheduled. There is no charge if you decide not to go ahead.
Our technicians check attics, crawlspaces, roof lines, and garages to identify exactly where rodents are getting in and why they’re staying.
By the end of your first visit, you’ll know:
- Where the rodents are entering
- How serious the infestation is
- What needs to be done to eliminate and prevent future issues
Control, Solve or Restore: which rodent package do you need?
Control suits a light infestation with few open entry points, Solve suits most attic infestations because it seals every entry point, and Restore is for attics that have been active for months.
Control is trapping and follow-up visits, paid per visit: $245 for the initial service and $95 each time we come back to clear traps and service stations. It suits a light infestation in a home with few or no open entry points, and it carries no warranty because nothing is sealed.
Solve is one quoted price per home that covers trapping, every follow-up, and full exclusion of every entry point found in the 61-point inspection, backed by a 2-year warranty. Most attic infestations end up here, because trapping without sealing means the next rat walks in through the same gap.
Restore is Solve plus attic remediation: droppings and nests removed, electrostatic sanitization, and contaminated insulation replaced or topped with new insulation. It is the right package when the attic has been active for months and the insulation is soiled or flattened.
You can start with Control and upgrade. If you move to Solve later, the $245 initial service is credited toward the Solve price; follow-up visits you have already paid for are not. Solve and Restore prices are quoted after the free inspection because a single-story stucco ranch and a two-story tile-roof home with four roof planes are not the same job.
How much is a rat exterminator in Phoenix?
A rat exterminator visit from Busy Bee costs $245 for the initial service and $95 per follow-up on the Control package, and every rodent species is priced the same way. What changes the total is the number of follow-ups the job needs and whether the entry points are sealed.
Most professional rodent control jobs in Phoenix are $245 for the initial service and $95 per follow-up, which covers the initial inspection, setup of traps and bait boxes, and the first treatment cycle.
Once we’ve mapped out the problem, we place strategically chosen traps and tamper-resistant bait boxes in all the right spots.
If you’ve got pack rats, our technicians patrol your property inside and out, under sheds, in rock piles, around AC units, and even up trees, to find and dismantle their messy stick-and-trash nests. Pack rats are collectors, so we remove both the rats and their junk piles to keep them from rebuilding.
For mice infestations, we go all-in: dozens of precision-set Victor traps, carefully baited and positioned through attics, pantries, and garages.
For species details, see rat control in Phoenix and roof rat removal in Phoenix.
Do I need follow-up visits?
Most homes do: the initial visit plus one to three follow-ups, depending on how established the population is. Each follow-up is $95 on the Control package, and we keep coming back until activity stops. If the entry points need sealing, Solve covers every follow-up in one quoted price.
After the first round, we return to remove caught rodents, reset traps, and refresh bait stations until all signs of activity stop. These follow-ups ensure we’re not just catching a few stragglers but eliminating the entire colony. We also reassess entry points each visit to verify nothing new has opened up.
What does rodent exclusion cost?
Rodent exclusion is quoted per home after the free inspection, because the price depends on the number of entry points, the roof type and access. Sealing is part of the Solve package, which also covers trapping and every follow-up. The optional Garage Door Rodent Guard is $50 per guard ($100 per door).
Once we’ve caught the intruders, the next step is making sure they can’t come back. That’s where rodent exclusion comes in. The process of sealing every gap, crack, and opening that rodents could use to re-enter your home.
Our technicians perform a full perimeter inspection, roofline, vents, crawlspaces, and even utility penetrations, looking for any opening larger than ¼ inch. Mice can squeeze through a gap of about a quarter inch, and roof rats need only about half an inch to slip inside.
Some entry points are easy; others are hidden ten feet up a stucco wall or behind an AC line on the roof. Those jobs take climbing gear, ladders, and patience, which is why exclusion pricing varies.
Trapping solves the symptom. Exclusion solves the cause. Without sealing, new rodents will eventually wander in through the same entry holes. That’s why we always recommend pairing trapping with exclusion for a complete, lasting solution.
If you’re ready to stop the cycle of “catch and re-infest,” ask your technician for an exclusion estimate. They’ll show you every vulnerable point and explain exactly what it’ll take to secure them, no guesswork, no surprises.
How much does rodent decontamination and attic cleanup cost?
Attic cleanup and decontamination are quoted after the free inspection, on their own or as part of the Restore package. The price depends on the size of the attic and how much insulation is soiled.
Even after the rodents are gone, they can leave behind a mess that’s not just unpleasant. It’s unsanitary. Droppings, urine, nesting material, and grease trails all contain bacteria, allergens, and parasites that can spread disease long after the animals are gone. That’s where decontamination comes in.
Our technicians wear protective equipment and follow strict safety procedures during cleaning. We remove all visible droppings and nesting debris, vacuum out contaminated insulation if necessary, and disinfect every affected surface.
Rodent waste can remain hazardous for months. If you skip cleanup, even a few missed droppings can attract new rodents or cause foul smells to seep through the ceiling.
If your infestation was in an attic or crawlspace, we can also provide insulation replacement. Removing contaminated material and installing clean, pest-resistant insulation. It’s optional but highly recommended if the rodents have been active for a long time.
What does it cost to wait on rodent control?
Usually more than the treatment. Typical Phoenix-area repairs for untreated rodent damage start at $250 to $1,200 for odor and sanitation cleanup and run to $1,000 to $5,000 for structural damage, before any fire claim.
The honest comparison is not $245 against nothing. It is $245 against what rodent damage costs to repair once it is already done. Roof rats reproduce roughly every 21 days, so the distance between “I think I hear something in the attic” and “we need an attic restoration” is measured in months, not years.
| Damage type | What happens when you wait | Typical repair cost |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical wiring | Rats chew insulation off wires, causing shorts and fire risk | $500 to $2,000+ |
| Insulation contamination | Urine and droppings soak insulation, destroying R-value and creating odor and health issues | $900 to $3,000 |
| HVAC and ductwork | Gnawed ducts leak conditioned air and spread contaminants, driving up power bills | $700 to $2,500 |
| Structural damage | Nesting in walls and eaves leads to gnawed wood, drywall, and vapor barriers | $1,000 to $5,000 |
| Odor and sanitation cleanup | Persistent stench from droppings, urine, or a dead rat inside insulation | $250 to $1,200 |
| Fire (worst case) | Chewed wiring ignites insulation or attic dust | $15,000+ average claim, and insurers may deny it if neglect is proven |
Even a minor infestation can turn into a $5,000 attic restoration within a few months, and severe Phoenix cases have run past $10,000 once insulation, electrical, and structural repairs are added up. Measured against that, a $245 initial service and a one-time exclusion quote is the cheapest part of the entire problem.
Is rodent control worth the cost?
For most Phoenix homes, yes, as long as the entry points are sealed and not just trapped. Sealing your home once is far cheaper than calling for repeated service visits or repairing chewed wires, ruined insulation, and contaminated storage spaces.
Rodents don’t go away on their own. If you skip sealing your home after trapping, they’ll keep coming back, and bringing friends. A single pair of rats can produce a new generation in just a few weeks, and those young will stay close to the same warm, familiar nesting areas unless they’re completely blocked out.
Our customers who choose full exclusion rarely have to call us again.
At Busy Bee Pest Solutions, our rodent services are comprehensive, guaranteed, and built to last. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for, and you’ll see the results right away.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rodent Control Costs in Phoenix
How much does rodent control cost in Phoenix?
On the Control package the initial service is $245 (free 61-point inspection, entry-point mapping, trap and bait-station setup, and first removal) and follow-up visits are $95 each. Solve (trapping plus full exclusion with a 2-year warranty) and Restore (Solve plus attic remediation) are quoted per home after the inspection. A promotional $29 initial service is available only to new customers who enroll in a 12-month general pest control plan.
What affects the total price of rodent control?
Costs vary based on where the rodents are nesting, how many entry points exist, and whether exclusion work or decontamination is needed. Attic or roof access can also increase pricing due to safety requirements and time.
Is exclusion worth the extra cost?
Absolutely. Exclusion, sealing entry points so rodents can’t return, is the best way to save money long-term. Without it, rats and mice often re-enter, breed, and restart the infestation. One permanent seal is cheaper than repeat cleanups.
Do you offer free quotes or inspections?
Yes! Busy Bee Pest Solutions provides free inspections and detailed quotes across the Phoenix area. We’ll identify what’s causing the infestation and recommend the most cost-effective plan for your home.
Are your rodent control methods safe for pets and kids?
Yes. We use tamper-resistant bait boxes and targeted traps placed out of reach of pets and children. Our sanitization products are safe once dry and designed for use in homes.
What if the rodents come back after treatment?
We stand by our work with a service guarantee. If activity returns, our technicians will revisit, reassess, and make sure your home stays protected. Especially if you’ve chosen exclusion.
What is the difference between the Control, Solve and Restore packages?
Control is trapping and follow-ups, paid per visit, with no sealing and no warranty. Solve adds full exclusion of every entry point we find, includes all follow-ups, and carries a 2-year warranty. Restore includes everything in Solve plus attic remediation: dropping removal, sanitization, and contaminated insulation replaced or topped up.
Can I upgrade from Control to Solve later?
Yes. The $245 initial service is credited toward Solve if you upgrade. Follow-up visits you have already paid for are not credited, so if you know the entry points need sealing, it is cheaper to start with Solve.
How much does a rodent exterminator cost in Phoenix?
With Busy Bee, a rodent exterminator visit on the Control package costs $245 for the initial service and $95 per follow-up, with no contract. Solve (trapping plus full exclusion, all follow-ups and a 2-year warranty) and Restore (Solve plus attic remediation) are quoted after the free 61-point inspection. Rat and mouse jobs are priced the same way.
How much does attic rodent removal cost?
Trapping rodents out of the attic is covered by the Control package: $245 for the initial service and $95 per follow-up. If the attic also needs droppings removed, disinfecting or contaminated insulation replaced, that is the Restore package, quoted after the inspection because the price depends on attic size and how much insulation is soiled.
How much does a rat exterminator cost compared with a mouse exterminator?
The same at Busy Bee: $245 for the initial visit and $95 per follow-up on the Control package, whether the job is rats or mice. The total differs mainly in the number of follow-ups needed and whether exclusion is added, which is quoted after the free inspection.
Where these prices apply
Pricing is the same across the Phoenix metro. We publish a city page for each area we work, covering the species and entry points most common there: Scottsdale, Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe, Peoria, Sun City, Paradise Valley, Queen Creek, Goodyear, Buckeye, Glendale and Surprise.
Working through summer instead? Cool-weather pressure is only half the year in Phoenix. Our guide to rodents after monsoon storms covers what changes between June and September, when storm runoff floods burrows and middens and wind damage opens new entry points.
