What drives the range
- Property size: larger homes have more linear feet of perimeter, more potential entry points, and more treatment area.
- Severity: established colonies require more treatment cycles than fresh activity.
- Access: rooftop or attic work, ladder requirements, deep crawlspace access add to time and cost.
- Multi-unit complexity: building-wide treatment of strata or multi-unit residential involves coordination overhead.
- Add-ons: structural sealing, pet-related protocol adjustments, after-hours service.
- Geographic variation: outer Metro Vancouver (Langley, Maple Ridge, White Rock) may include a travel surcharge on single-visit jobs.
What we don't charge for
- Initial inspection during a confirmed treatment booking — included in the service price.
- Photo report — every job ships with one within 30 minutes; not an upsell.
- 60-day return guarantee — re-treatment included if pests return within the window.
- Same-day call-out during business hours — no surcharge on standard-hours service.
How our pricing compares in Metro Vancouver
Pricing transparency is genuinely unusual in BC pest control. Most companies require an on-site assessment before quoting — even for standard issues with completely predictable scope. The reasons: (1) pricing opacity lets companies adjust based on the homeowner's apparent willingness to pay; (2) it requires a sales visit before any work begins, which some companies monetise as an inspection fee. Wild Pest publishes starting prices because most residential service calls fit predictable pricing tiers. The price you see is the price that books the job — with the caveat that complex issues (large-scale structural exclusion, multi-unit bed bug protocols, commercial properties) get a site-assessment step that produces a formal quote before any work begins. For comparison context: carpet cleaning companies, HVAC technicians, and plumbers routinely publish starting prices. Pest control has been slower to adopt this model. We see no good reason for that opacity on standard residential services.
When does price go up mid-job?
Price can change from the starting figure in two documented scenarios: (1) the on-site inspection reveals scope materially different from the booking call description (e.g., booking says 'one mouse' but inspection reveals established multi-entry-point rodent infestation requiring structural exclusion); (2) add-on work identified during treatment that the homeowner agrees to on-site. In both cases, the updated price is confirmed and agreed to before work begins. We do not present a higher invoice after the fact. If the scope turns out to be simpler than described, the price goes down or stays at the floor — not up.
