Exterminator = Zilch
We have owned for 4 years, never killed a bug yet and no problems other than a spider every two weeks or so (which I catch and release - could be the same one coming back???). Not included with lawn cutting, neither is weed treatment for 60 a time two or three time a year, chich bug (that attack the lawn), 125 once a year, fertilizer 120 twice a year, pruning 120 twice a year (at lot of this is due to being snow birds - if we were here year around and the wife made me do it, it would be less labor).
Termite is another story - 600 or so for single service that last ten years plus annual inspection of 125.
Come to think of it, in Northern California you put in your lawn and plants, cut it every other week and never spend a dime other than some gas for the mower now and then and weed and feed three times a year. Could be that the higher price of homes is offset by the savings on landscape maintenance!!!
