Restricted use products need a certified applicator or direct supervision. The 15 categories, the five-year rule, and what you can ask before treatment.
Pest control pays $45,250 against $63,800 for plumbers. We checked the widely cited trade pay gaps against BLS and they are wrong.
Leads cost $7 to $150 by channel, but close rates vary more than prices. Shared leads look cheapest and often cost the most per customer.
Bird control averages $500. Spikes cost $2 to $6 per linear foot plus $200 to $500 installation. The dropping cleanup is usually the bigger line.
Bee removal averages $180. Relocation runs $100 to $400 and a cutout $400 to $1,500. A beekeeper will often take an accessible swarm for free.
Spider treatment costs $100 to $500, averaging $175 one-time. Spiders do not take bait and follow their food, so the insects are the real target.
Tick treatment costs $100 to $300 per visit, $300 to $900 a season. Why the wooded edge costs more than the lawn, and why acreage is a poor predictor.
Wildlife removal costs $200 to $600, or $500 to $1,500 in an attic. Why bats cannot be trapped, and why trapping alone never solves it.
