Hong Kong Bed Bug Extermination Fees 2026: Price Comparison Table + How to Choose a Pest Control Company

Key point in one sentence: Per-visit bed bug treatment costs HK$1,000–5,500 and contracts HK$1,800–12,000; don’t just look at the cheapest price — what matters most is complete eradication, so when getting a quote always ask about the method, follow-up visits and warranty period, and beware of suspiciously low prices.

When bed bugs (also called stink bugs / wood lice) show up at home and DIY doesn’t work, it’s time to call a pest control company. But one search shows quotes all over the place — from just over HK$1,000 to more than HK$10,000. What is a reasonable price?

The price references below combine Consumer Council data (compiled via gotrip.hk) and 2026 customer reviews of local companies, to help you quickly grasp market rates so you won’t be led around when asking for quotes.

Bed Bug Treatment Price Comparison Table (2026 Reference)

Per-visit (spray liquid / powder / fogging / steam)	HK$1,000 – HK$5,500	One visit	Some companies offer 1–3 free follow-ups within a set period; some have no cap	Light infestation; want to try once and see
Fixed contract period (1–6 months)	HK$1,800 – HK$12,000	Service within the contract period	Free follow-ups within the contract period (note the number of visits stated in the contract)	Moderate infestation; want a guarantee
3-day intensive treatment (selected companies, based on a 700 sq ft flat)	HK$10,000 – HK$15,000	3 consecutive days of intensive treatment	Re-inspection and follow-up within 1 year	Severe infestation; large flat; want it done in one go

Note: These are market reference ranges; actual prices vary by flat size, infestation severity and treatment method. Final prices are as formally quoted by each company.

Why Do Prices Vary So Much?

Infestation severity: Just one room versus the whole flat — the work involved is very different. According to Rentokil Hong Kong, a single bed bug can develop into an infestation in just 10 weeks; the longer you wait, the higher the treatment cost.
Flat size: A subdivided flat and a 700 sq ft flat need different amounts of chemicals and labour. Some companies charge by square footage, others a flat rate — ask when getting a quote.
Treatment method: Pure chemical spraying is cheapest; steam / heat treatment costs more because of the equipment; multi-day intensive treatment is the top tier.
Follow-up visits: A cheap per-visit price may not include follow-ups. Bed bug eggs hatch in about a week (Centre for Health Protection data), so one treatment rarely finishes the job — a cheap price with no follow-up can end up costing more than a package that includes follow-ups.
Company size: International brands (such as Rentokil) and local SMEs have different cost structures — expensive doesn’t necessarily mean better, and cheap doesn’t necessarily mean worse.

5 Questions to Ask a Pest Control Company (Consumer Council Advice)

The Consumer Council advises: before hiring a company, don’t just look at the price — ask these questions:

What treatment method will you use? (Chemical / steam / heat? Does it target eggs?)
How is the price calculated? (Per visit or by contract? Is the inspection visit included? Does the price differ for larger or smaller flats?)
How many follow-up visits are included? (Are follow-ups free or charged? How long is the follow-up period?)
What do I need to prepare before treatment? (Do I need to take apart the bed frame or empty wardrobes? How long do people and pets need to leave?)
Is there a warranty period? Is it written down in black and white? (A verbal promise doesn’t count — get it on the receipt.)

Watch Out for Hidden-Fee Traps

Suspiciously low price to lure you in: A rock-bottom quote, then once on site they claim the situation is “serious” and charge extra. Ask for a written quote stating what’s included and what isn’t.
Follow-ups charged separately: The first visit is cheap, but every follow-up costs the full price. Ask how follow-ups are charged before signing.
Vague contract follow-up count: “Free follow-ups within the contract period” with no number stated — then they tell you you’ve used up your allowance.
Flat rate without asking about size: A quote given without asking how big your flat is or how bad the infestation is is usually a guess — the price goes up on site.

Cheap Isn’t Always Good, Expensive Isn’t Always Right

With bed bugs, what matters most is complete eradication, not the lowest price. A HK$1,000 visit with no follow-up that doesn’t solve the problem can end up costing more than a HK$5,000 package with follow-ups that does. On the other hand, there’s no need to buy the most expensive 3-day intensive treatment for a light infestation — first check how bad it is, then match the treatment to the problem.
