Termite Treatment Cost Calculator
Termite treatment is usually priced by the linear foot of your home's foundation, so the size of the house and the type of foundation drive most of the cost. Enter your perimeter (or let the calculator estimate it from your footprint), pick a treatment method, and you'll get an up-front range plus what the yearly renewal or monitoring plan typically costs.
Every figure comes from published cost guides, with Georgia-specific numbers where they exist. In Georgia, a liquid treatment on a typical house is about $300–$1,200, and larger or harder homes can exceed $2,000. The result also lists what a Georgia termite contract must say, so you can check a quote before you sign it.
Worked example
A 1,800 sq ft crawl-space home in metro Atlanta
- Treatment method:
- Liquid barrier
- Foundation:
- Crawl space
- Perimeter:
- ~180 linear ft (from 1,800 sq ft footprint)
- Annual renewal:
- Yes
$540 – $1,980 up front, then $150 – $500/yr
180 ft × $3–$11/ft = $540–$1,980. Source: Fixr Georgia, Angi Atlanta 2026.
How this works
The calculator multiplies your foundation perimeter by a published per-foot rate. Liquid barriers use the $3–$16 per linear foot range that Angi (Atlanta), Fixr (Georgia), Forbes and HomeGuide all report. Within that band, the foundation type picks a narrower window: crawl space $3–$11, slab $6–$14, basement $7–$15, mixed $8–$16. Those windows are planning assumptions, not published figures; they reflect that slabs and basements usually need drilling or deeper treatment. The result is then checked against the published whole-house range of about $300–$2,000 (Fixr's Georgia page puts a typical house at about $300–$1,200). The low end never drops below $300, and anything above $2,000 carries a large-or-complex-home note.
Bait systems use the $8–$12 per linear foot install rate (Angi and Forbes, national range), held inside the $1,000–$2,500 install band. The yearly cost is labelled "annual monitoring / plan" ($200–$400, national range) because only one publisher, HomeGuide, calls it bait monitoring outright. Spot treatment is a flat $250–$1,000 national range (This Old House, Angi). The bond line is labelled "annual renewal / plan" ($150–$500): HomeGuide gives it as a renewal, while Fixr (Georgia) and Angi describe annual plans in the same range. The footprint helper treats the house as a square and adds 15% for corners; that factor is a planning assumption too.
These are planning ranges, not quotes. Atlanta Pest Guide is an independent guide and referral service published by Cornelia Cove LLC; we don't inspect or treat homes. The Georgia contract notes summarise the Structural Pest Control Commission rules (effective April 8, 2026) and GDA's notice on termite baiting. Ranges were checked in September 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does termite treatment cost in Georgia?
A liquid barrier treatment on a typical Georgia home is about $300–$1,200, and larger or harder homes can exceed $2,000. Priced by the foot, published rates run $3–$16 per linear foot. Bait systems cost more up front, about $1,000–$2,500 to install, plus $200–$400 a year for monitoring or the plan. A localized spot treatment runs about $250–$1,000.
How do I measure the linear feet for termite treatment?
Measure around the outside of the foundation, including attached garages and any porch or patio slabs that sit on soil next to the house. A floor plan works too: add up the outside wall lengths. If you only know the ground-floor area, this calculator estimates the perimeter as a square footprint plus 15%.
Is a bait system or liquid treatment cheaper?
Liquid treatment is usually cheaper up front. Bait systems cost about $8–$12 per linear foot to install and need ongoing monitoring at about $200–$400 a year. In Georgia, a bait contract must warn in a boxed statement that removing the system may leave the home unprotected.
How much is a termite bond renewal?
Annual renewal or plan fees run about $150–$500 a year in published cost guides, and the first-year bond contract about $500–$2,000. In Georgia, the written contract must state the renewal fee, how many years it's fixed and how often the house is reinspected, so you can compare those terms between quotes.
What must a termite treatment contract include in Georgia?
Georgia's Structural Pest Control Commission rules require the treatment type, the term, a diagram of the structure, the price, the renewal fee and reinspection frequency, any liability limits tied to changes in the structure, and a boxed statement saying whether the warranty is retreatment only or retreatment and repair. The contract must also disclose your 3-day right to cancel.
Does active termite damage change the price?
The published treatment ranges don't separate active from preventive jobs, so this calculator doesn't add a surcharge. Repairing damaged wood is separate work. If your contract includes repairs, Georgia rules require the price to include the estimated repair cost.
