Exterminator Visit Frequency Calculator
Determine the recommended number of professional exterminator visits per year based on your pest situation, property characteristics, and risk factors.
Primary Pest Type
General insects (ants, spiders, beetles) Cockroaches Termites Bed bugs Rodents (mice, rats) Mosquitoes / flying insects Fleas / ticks Wasps / hornets / bees
Current Infestation Severity
None / Preventive only Low (occasional sighting) Moderate (regular sightings, some damage) High (frequent sightings, notable damage) Severe (infestation confirmed, significant damage)
Property Size (sq ft)
Property Type
Single-family home Multi-family / apartment Restaurant / food service Retail / commercial Office building Warehouse / storage Vacation / seasonal property
Climate / Region
Temperate (mild seasons) Tropical / subtropical (warm, humid year-round) Hot and dry (desert) Cold / northern (harsh winters) Coastal / high humidity
Surrounding Environment
Urban / city (low green space) Suburban (moderate green space) Rural / wooded area Near water (pond, lake, stream) Agricultural / farm area
Prior Professional Treatment in Last 12 Months?
No prior treatment Yes, 1 treatment Yes, 2–3 treatments Yes, 4+ treatments (ongoing program)
Pets or Young Children in Property?
No Yes

#### Formula
Raw Visits/Year = BaseSeverityVisits × PestFactor × PropertyTypeFactor × ClimateFactor × EnvironmentFactor × SizeMultiplier × PriorTreatmentReduction × PetsChildrenFactor
Final Visits = round(Raw Visits), clamped to [1, 52]
- BaseSeverityVisits: Preventive=1, Low=2, Moderate=4, High=6, Severe=12
- PestFactor: General insects=1.0, Cockroaches=1.5, Termites=2.0, Bed bugs=1.8, Rodents=1.3, Mosquitoes=1.2, Fleas/ticks=1.1, Wasps=1.6
- PropertyTypeFactor: Single-family=1.0, Multi-family=1.3, Restaurant=1.5, Retail=1.4, Office=1.2, Warehouse=1.6, Seasonal=0.8
- ClimateFactor: Temperate=1.0, Tropical=1.3, Desert=1.2, Cold=0.8, Coastal=1.1
- EnvironmentFactor: Urban=1.0, Suburban=1.2, Rural/wooded=1.4, Near water=1.3, Agricultural=1.5
- SizeMultiplier: 1.0 + 0.10 × floor(sqft / 1000), capped at 1.5
- PriorTreatmentReduction: 0 treatments=1.0, 1=0.9, 2–3=0.8, 4+=0.7
- PetsChildrenFactor: No=1.0, Yes=1.1 (safety buffer for more frequent low-toxicity treatments)
