- [Quote Scam & Fair-Price Detector](/tools/quote-scam-check): Audits a pest control estimate or contract against typical pricing (about $100-$300 initial general service, $40-$75 per month maintenance) and flags 12-month auto-renewals, cancellation fees, vague scope and missing retreatment guarantees.
