what is the average cost of pest control for a one bedroom apartment?

I live in Tallahassee, Florida. The rent is $520 a month and "includes pest control". We have not received this service and we have requested it for two months now. I want the landlord to repay me for the service I have not received but do not know how much it costs for a one bedroom apartment...

1. Usually there is a higher charge to get started and then it goes down for each month in a contract. $100.00 to start then drop to $50.00. However, you could just call "some guy" that runs his own pest control business and he should do a 1 time job for about 30-50 bucks. If I were you I'd call an individual for a 1 time job. Let your landlord set up a contract with someone like Terminix.
2. up here in Tennessee it is 25.00 a month for my 4 bedroom house.. not sure about there. Might as well call and ask a pest control company, you will probably have to have a quote or a expense if you deduct it from your rent..
3. ask 10 different companies you may get 10 different prices...for just a general pest program larger companies around me (N Tx) will have an initial and get as much as they can from you and lock you into a contract $150-$175 initial then $75 or so a quarter..maybe $35 if you go monthly I'll get around $65 a quarter with no initial and there are plenty of other smaller companies around here that go for $25-$30 a month. If there is a specific issue such as German roaches the initial prices will jump up,sometimes quite a bit
