How much pest control costs in Chișinău in 2026
Below are approximate market price ranges for disinsection, rodent control, and disinfection services in Chișinău and other Moldovan cities for 2026. These are average market benchmarks, not the price list of any one company. The real cost depends on the property and is set after inspection.
Apartment disinsection
Treating an apartment for cockroaches, bedbugs, or ants — approximately ~700-1200 MDL. The lower end is a small one-room flat with a light infestation; the upper end is 2-3 rooms or the use of fogging. Bedbug treatment is usually nearer the upper end due to the labour involved.
House disinsection
A house is larger in area and has utility rooms, a basement, and an attic. The approximate range is ~1100-1800 MDL, higher for large areas or heavy infestation. The house is often treated together with the adjoining plot.
Rodent control
Treating an apartment or house for mice and rats — approximately ~700-1100 MDL. The cost usually includes laying bait at control points and, if needed, plastic bait stations. A house often needs a service contract with regular visits.
Disinfection
Disinfecting premises (destroying bacteria, mould, viruses, treatment after flooding or unsanitary conditions) — approximately ~800-1300 MDL per apartment. The price depends on area and purpose.
Plot treatment
Treating a plot against ticks, mosquitoes, or pests is charged per ar (100 m²). Approximately from ~150-300 MDL per ar, with a minimum call-out fee. The larger the area, the lower the unit price.
What affects the price
- Property area — the main factor.
- Infestation level — neglected cases need more product and fogging.
- Pest type — bedbugs and fleas cost more than cockroaches due to the labour.
- Treatment method — cold or hot fog costs more than spraying.
- Single treatment vs service contract — with a quarterly contract the per-visit price is lower.
- Urgency and out-of-town travel — may add to the cost.
