What pest control typically costs in Bentonville, AR, by pest and by plan type, plus one-time visits, recurring plans, termite work, and how to compare written estimates.
Short answer: HomeGuide's 2026 guide puts pest control at $300 to $900 per year on average, with monthly visits at $40 to $75 per visit and a $150 to $300 initial visit, while one-time extermination ranges from $100 to $600 depending on the pest and severity (HomeGuide, 2026).

All figures below are national typical ranges from HomeGuide's 2026 guide, not local quotes:
| Plan | Typical cost (HomeGuide, 2026) | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| One-time extermination visit | $100 – $600 | A single treatment for a general pest problem, priced by pest and severity |
| Monthly plan, per visit | $40 – $75 | Recurring visits on a monthly plan |
| Annual plan, total | $300 – $900 | A year of recurring pest control, on average |
| Initial visit on a new plan | $150 – $300 | First inspection and treatment when a plan starts |
A recurring plan and a one-time visit are different purchases. A plan spreads smaller visits across the year and usually includes retreatment terms for covered pests, while a one-time visit is priced for the single problem in front of you. Ask which pests are covered, how many visits are included, and what a return visit costs.
One-time visit figures from HomeGuide (2026), for a typical home:
| Pest | Typical cost (HomeGuide, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Ants | $200 – $300 for a 2,000 square foot home; severe infestations $800 – $1,200 |
| Cockroaches | $100 – $600+ |
| Spiders | $100 – $300 |
| Rodents (mice and rats) | $150 – $600; mice $150 – $550, rats $150 – $600 |
| Fleas | $200 – $400 for a one-time visit; $300 – $600 per year on a plan |
| Bed bugs | $300 – $500 per room; $2,500 – $5,000 for a whole house |
| Wasps | $300 – $700; yellowjackets $600 – $1,200 |
| Bees | $125 – $1,000, depending on species, colony size, and hive location |
| Mosquitoes | $80 – $150 per visit; $350 – $1,000 per season |
| Wildlife (squirrels, raccoons, groundhogs) | $200 – $600; raccoons $200 – $300, squirrels $300 – $600 |
| Bats | $250 – $600 for up to 5 bats |
Common household pests such as ants, spiders, and roaches usually cost the least in the guide, while termites, bed bugs, and rodents need more advanced products and methods and sit at the higher end.
Termite work is its own line in HomeGuide (2026), not part of a general pest plan:
| Job | Typical cost (HomeGuide, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Termite inspection | $75 – $150 |
| Exterior barrier treatment | $225 – $2,500 per treatment |
| Whole-home tenting (fumigation) | $2,000 – $8,000 |
If termites are suspected, ask whether the inspection is a standalone charge, what treatment method is proposed, and whether an annual protection plan is included or separate. Bentonville homes with wood framing, crawlspaces, and slab foundations can each point to a different inspection and treatment approach, which is another reason for a written estimate rather than a national average.
Getting a fair number takes some legwork: finding companies that cover your street, describing the pest and where you have seen it, and comparing what each estimate actually includes. When you have one, check:

How much does a one-time pest control visit cost? HomeGuide (2026) puts one-time extermination at $100 to $600, depending on the pest and the severity of the infestation. Those are national typical ranges, so get written estimates for your home.
How much does a recurring pest control plan cost? HomeGuide (2026) puts pest control at $300 to $900 per year on average, with monthly visits at $40 to $75 per visit and a $150 to $300 initial visit. Confirm how many visits the plan includes and what pests it covers.
How much does termite treatment cost? HomeGuide (2026) puts exterior barrier termite treatment at $225 to $2,500 per treatment and whole-home tenting at $2,000 to $8,000, with termite inspections at $75 to $150. Termite work is priced separately from a general pest plan, so ask for it in writing.
Is a one-time visit or a recurring plan better? A one-time visit fits a single, identified problem, while a recurring plan fits ongoing pressure from ants, spiders, or roaches. Compare the first-visit price, the per-visit price, the pests covered, and the retreatment terms before choosing.
