Pest control cost in Singapore (2026): general pests and termites
Pest control cost in Singapore for 2026: typical prices for cockroach, ant and rodent treatments and termite jobs, and how to check a licensed operator.
Updated 1 min read
Your pest control cost in Singapore depends on the pest, the size of your home and how bad the problem is. Here are the ranges published for 2026, and how to check you're hiring a licensed operator.
Typical prices
| Job | Published range (2026) |
|---|---|
| Standard HDB pest service (cockroaches, ants, general) | about S$80 to S$250 |
| Termite treatment | after inspection; from a few hundred dollars to S$3,000+ |
These come from a 2026 guide based on operators' published lists and other estimates. Termite prices depend on property size and type, how far the infestation has spread, and the treatment needed, so expect an inspection first.
What changes the price
- The pest: termites and bed bugs usually cost more than cockroaches or ants.
- Severity: an established infestation needs more treatment and follow-ups.
- Home size and type: landed homes cost more than HDB flats.
- Follow-up visits and warranty: check whether they're included.
Check the company is licensed
NEA says only companies registered as Vector Control Operators (VCOs) can be engaged for vector control work, and their staff must be licensed or certified. Before you book:
- Check the company on NEA's list of registered VCOs.
- Ask to see their licence details.
- Ask which NEA-registered products they'll use.
On ServeGig, pest control companies give their licence number at signup and we check it before approving them.
