Roaches and Mice Need a Faster Rhythm
When pests breed fast and keep finding new ways in, we visit more often so they never get a head start.
Monthly, $99/month.
Twelve visits a year for heavier roach or mouse activity. We keep constant pressure on the problem.
Bi-Monthly, $74.50/month.
Six visits a year for lighter roach or mouse activity. A steady step up from quarterly.
Quarterly, $56.50/month.
Four visits a year. Right for most Kansas City homes that just want to stay ahead of everyday pests.
Pest control for roaches and mice works best on a faster schedule. If you have roaches or mice, monthly pest control or bi-monthly service is what we recommend, depending on how bad the activity is. Quarterly works for most Kansas City homes. But roaches and mice move too fast for a visit every three months.
Why does pest control for roaches and mice need more frequent visits?
Because they reproduce faster than a quarterly schedule can keep up with. A gap of three months gives them time to rebuild.
German cockroaches breed quickly, and one female can start a new wave in weeks. Mice reproduce fast too, and they keep testing your home for new gaps. Shorter intervals let us knock populations down and catch new activity early.
What are the signs you’re past quarterly territory?
You’re likely past quarterly if you see roaches in daylight or find mouse droppings in more than one spot. Those point to an active, growing population.
Other signs to watch for:
- Roaches in the kitchen or bathroom, especially at night
- Droppings in cabinets, drawers or along walls
- Gnaw marks on food boxes or wiring
- Scratching sounds in walls or the attic
- Activity that comes back soon after a treatment

How much does monthly service cost compared to other plans?
For pest control for roaches and mice, monthly service is $99 a month and bi-monthly is $74.50 a month. Quarterly starts as low as $56.50 a month. Every recurring plan starts with an initial service from $289 on a 12-month agreement.
Light mouse activity is covered on any plan. When mice or roaches are the main problem, we start with monthly or bi-monthly. Rats go to our wildlife team. For a side-by-side look at the two lighter options, see bi-monthly or quarterly pest control.
Do you seal up where mice are getting in?
Yes, for small gaps. Our general pest techs do minor exclusion with copper mesh, which mice can’t easily chew through.
Bigger openings go to our wildlife team. They look at the job and give you a quote for the exclusion work. Learn more on our rodent control page.
Can you switch to quarterly later?
Yes. Once activity is under control, you can step down to quarterly. Each visit ends with a report of what we found and did, so you can see the trend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Monthly service is worth it when roach activity is heavy, because German cockroaches breed faster than a quarterly schedule can handle. Twelve visits a year at $99 a month keeps steady pressure on the population.
Quarterly covers light mouse activity, because it’s built for prevention. If mice are the main problem, we start with monthly or bi-monthly visits, and you can step down to quarterly once they’re under control. Rats go to our wildlife team.
Bi-monthly fits lighter roach or mouse activity, and monthly fits heavier activity. Our tech inspects your home and recommends a frequency based on what they find. You can also schedule online.
Mice push indoors when nights turn cold in the fall. That’s a good time to have entry gaps sealed and a recurring plan in place.
