Short answer: for Mobile, EcoFirst Pest Control's local cost page lists $1,380 to $4,025 for a whole-house liquid soil barrier and $920 to $3,450 to install a bait station system, plus $290 to $575 a year to keep bait stations monitored. These are published market estimates, not quotes. Your price depends on the size of your foundation, how the house is built, which termite you have, and what the contract covers.

How that compares with national figures

Angi's 2026 national guide (based on projects reported by its pros) puts the average termite treatment at $621, with most homeowners paying $263–$1,033. That average mixes small spot jobs with full treatments, so it runs well below a whole-house barrier. Angi's per-foot figures line up with the Mobile range: $3–$16 per linear foot for liquid termiticide and $8–$12 for bait. Angi lists Formosan termite treatment at $250–$1,500 and native subterranean at $225–$900, and budgets $250–$6,000 more if damaged wood or drywall has to be replaced (Angi, Termite Treatment Cost, updated September 2026).

Liquid barrier, bait stations or tenting?

• Liquid soil barrier. Termiticide is trenched or drilled into the soil around the foundation. It is priced mostly by the linear foot of foundation, so a bigger footprint or a slab that needs drilling costs more.
• Bait stations. Stations go in the ground around the house and are checked on a schedule. Alabama rules say bait systems must be monitored at least every 90 days unless the product label says otherwise, and the contract must name the bait product and show station locations on a diagram (Ala. Admin. Code r. 80-10-9-.16). That's why bait has a yearly fee on top of installation.
• Tenting (fumigation). Used for drywood termites. EcoFirst notes it doesn't work against subterranean termites, which live in the soil. Most Mobile infestations are subterranean (native or Formosan; see our swarm season guide).

What raises the price

• Foundation length and type. Liquid work is quoted by the linear foot, and slabs, patios and additions may need drilling. EcoFirst's Mobile ranges climb from $1,105–$3,220 for homes under 1,000 sq ft to $2,140–$6,240 for homes over 4,000 sq ft.
• Which termite. Formosan colonies are larger and harder to control than native ones, and Angi's Formosan range runs higher.
• The contract you choose. A bond that also pays for damage repair costs more to renew than a retreatment-only bond. See termite bonds in Mobile.
• Repairs. Treatment kills termites; it doesn't fix wood. EcoFirst warns that carpentry bundled into a treatment quote can inflate the bill, and suggests asking for it itemized.

Will homeowners insurance pay?

Usually not. The Insurance Information Institute says a standard policy won't cover damage from lack of maintenance or infestation by termites or other pests (Triple-I). Budget treatment and any repairs yourself, and check your own policy.

What Alabama requires in your contract

Alabama's Department of Agriculture and Industries rules say a termite company must sign a written contract before any work begins, covering at least one year. For an existing house it must include a foundation diagram marking any visible evidence of active or past infestation, the reinspection schedule, the renewal fee and how many years it stays fixed, and the total price. The top of the first page must say, in a bold box, whether the contract covers retreatment only or retreatment plus damage repair (Ala. Admin. Code r. 80-10-9-.16).

How to get a fair quote

1. Get an inspection first. A phone price before anyone has measured the foundation is a starting point, not a quote (EcoFirst).
2. Get at least three written quotes, as Angi recommends, and compare the same method and contract type.
3. Check the license. Search the company or technician on the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries Pesticide Applicator Search. Termite work falls under the wood-destroying-organism category (Alabama Extension).
4. Ask what the yearly renewal will be and for how many years it's locked in. Alabama requires that in writing.
5. Be wary of "today only" pricing. Termite damage builds over years, not days (EcoFirst).
