Perimeter pest control with City Green starts as low as $25 per service. The price rises with the size of your property, the services you combine and the pests we find, and a free estimate gives you the exact number before any work begins. There is no contract. Most local companies post no price at all, so this page shows ours and the factors behind it.
How Much Does Pest Control Cost in Citrus County?
Perimeter pest control from City Green starts as low as $25 per service. That is a starting price, not a promise for every home. Your price may be higher, and the free estimate tells you the real number.
We have not surveyed Citrus County companies, so we cannot give you a county average. Anyone who quotes one without a survey is guessing. The sections below show what moves a price and how to judge any quote.
What Changes the Price
Five things set the price of a pest control service. The first three are the main ones, and the last two come up often in Citrus County.
Size of the Property
A larger home or lot takes more time and more product to treat. A small home on a small lot sits at the low end, and a large home on acreage sits higher.
Types and Combination of Services
Perimeter, interior, mosquito, lawn and specialty treatments are each priced for the work involved. Combining services can change the total, which is why we price the combination when you ask for a free estimate.
Variety and Amount of Pests
One pest in one area costs less to treat than several pests across the property. Heavy pressure takes more time, more product and sometimes more visits.
Water Near the Property
Many Citrus County properties sit near rivers, canals, lakes or Kings Bay. Heavy pest pressure near water, mosquitoes especially, can raise the price because it takes more work to control.
Product Amount and Upgrades
The amount of product a property needs and any upgrades you choose also change the price. Ask what each line of a quote covers.
One-Time or Recurring: What Each Usually Costs
A one-time treatment fixes a specific problem, and a recurring plan prevents pests from building up. City Green offers both with no contract, and the price depends on the property and the pests. See our page on recurring plans and one-time treatments for how to choose.
For context, here are published ranges from Florida pest control companies, collected in November 2026. They are other companies' figures, they are statewide and not Citrus County averages, and they are not City Green prices.
- Monthly plans: roughly $35 to $80 per month
- Quarterly visits: roughly $75 to $120 per visit
- Initial treatment: roughly $150 to $250
- One-time treatments: roughly $50 to $500, depending on the problem
- Year-round mosquito service: roughly $45 per month, and seasonal programs start around $58 per month
What Pest Control Costs by Pest and Service
Each pest changes the price in a different way, and we give exact numbers only after a free estimate. Here is what moves the price for each.
- Ants: how many colonies, whether fire ants are in the yard, and how much of the property needs treatment
- Cockroaches and spiders: how far indoors the problem has spread, and how large the home is
- Rodents: how many entry points and how much of the structure needs attention
- Mosquitoes: the size of the yard, how much water is nearby, and how often you need treatment. See mosquito control
- Fleas and ticks: the size of the yard and whether pets use it
- Lawn fertilization: the size of the lawn and the products it needs, quoted at a free estimate
What Is Included and What Is Not
Perimeter service treats the outside of your home, and our perimeter and interior pest control page explains the service. Ask us about web and wasp nest removal at your free estimate.
Some pests are not part of City Green service at any price. We do not offer termite, bed bug, wildlife or bee removal, and we do not mow or landscape. If you need those, ask a company that offers them, and do not compare that quote to ours.
DIY Costs and Their Limits
Doing it yourself costs less per bottle and often more in the end. Store products are a one-time purchase, and the work repeats each time pests return.
UF/IFAS notes that baits are the most effective way to carry insecticide into an ant nest, because ants share food. A spray on the trail can scatter the colony and leave the nest alone. Some home treatments for fire ants are also described as ineffective.
DIY works for a small, one-time problem, such as a few ants on a counter. It struggles with recurring pests, large properties and anything you cannot identify. Read how to get rid of ants in your house for a step-by-step version.
How to Read a Pest Control Quote
A good quote tells you what each visit includes, what it costs and what you can do if it does not work. Use this list with any company, including us.
- What exactly is done on each visit, and how often
- Whether the quote needs a year agreement, and what it costs to stop
- What the guarantee says in writing and what you must do to use it
- Whether the price is per visit, per month or per year
- Whether the company holds a Florida pest control business license, which you can verify with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
Why We Publish a Starting Price
We publish a starting price because a homeowner should not need to schedule a visit to learn whether a service fits the budget. A clear starting price also means no surprise on the bill.
City Green is family owned and woman owned, and we treat every customer the way we want to be treated. You will notice the difference or your money back, and you are never asked to sign a contract. To get your price, call (352) 601-0682 or request a free estimate. We serve Crystal River, Holder and the rest of Citrus County.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the $25 starting price include?
It is the starting price for perimeter pest control, per service. Your own price depends on the size of the property, the services you combine and the pests we find, and the free estimate gives the exact number.
Why does an inspection come before a price?
Because two homes on the same street can need very different work. We look at the property first so the number reflects the pests and the size of your home, and the estimate is free.
How much does mosquito control cost?
It depends on the size of the yard, how much water is nearby and how often you want treatment. We give mosquito prices at the free estimate and do not post a figure.
How much does lawn fertilization cost?
It depends on the size of the lawn and the products it needs. The free estimate gives the price, and our service follows the Citrus County fertilizer ordinance.
Is professional pest control worth it?
It is worth it when pests keep returning, when the property is large, or when you cannot tell which pest you have or where the nest is. For a small one-time problem, a store bait may be enough.
