Pest Control in Calgary: Costs, Mice and Bed Bugs, Free Quotes
The cost figures on this page are being verified against current local quotes and are not yet published as confirmed ranges. The hiring advice below is the part you can rely on.
Calgary’s two signature pests are mice in winter and ants in spring, with bed bugs as the nightmare outlier. Pest problems scale with delay — a mouse heard in November is cheaper than a colony of mice in February.
This page explains how Calgary pest companies price their work and what a good treatment plan looks like.
Calgary pest control typically costs $200 to $400 for a one-time treatment, with recurring monthly service at $40 to $70. Mouse exclusion work runs $300 to $800, and bed bug treatments start around $500.
What it costs
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| One-time treatment (mice/ants) | $200 – $400 | Includes inspection |
| Recurring monthly service | $40 – $70 / month | Common for restaurants and rural properties |
| Mouse proofing / exclusion | $300 – $800 | Sealing entry points — the part that actually solves mice |
| Bed bug treatment | $500 – $1,500+ | Usually two or more visits |
How to choose a pest control company
- Ask whether the quote includes the follow-up visit — most treatments need one.
- Ask what the guarantee covers and for how long.
- For mice, ask how much of the job is exclusion (sealing) versus baiting — baiting alone repeats.
- Check for licensing and ask what products will be used if children or pets are in the home.
Red flags
- A company that quotes before inspecting — any serious company wants to see the problem.
- A "one spray fixes everything" pitch for bed bugs, which never works that way.
- No written treatment plan or product list.
Common problems and what they cost
- Mice in walls or atticurgent$200 – $800
Exclusion plus baiting; expect a follow-up visit.
- Ant trail in springroutine$200 – $400
Calgary’s spring ant season is reliable — treat early.
- Bed bugsemergency$500 – $1,500+
Act immediately and follow the prep instructions exactly; half-treatments make it worse.
- Wasps nesting near a doorurgent$150 – $350
Do not DIY high nests — falls are the hidden cost.
Bed bugs spread fast; isolate the room, do not move bedding between rooms, and get a professional in quickly.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a contract for mouse control?
For a single-family home, usually not — a one-time treatment plus exclusion work solves most cases. Recurring contracts make sense for food businesses and acreage properties.
How long until mice are gone?
Activity usually drops within days of baiting, but full exclusion — sealing the entry points — is the permanent fix. Expect a follow-up visit a few weeks out.
