What to put on a pest control estimate

Describe the visit and the area in plain words, such as interior or perimeter. Follow-up visits go on separate lines.

  • your business name, phone and email
  • your customer's name and the address of the job
  • an estimate number, the date and how long the price holds
  • each service and each part you plan to supply on its own line, with quantity and rate
  • any discount, tax and deposit to start
  • the total, and what the price leaves out

What an estimate has to show can differ by state, so check what applies where you work. This is general information, not tax or legal advice.

What each line on this estimate is for

A pest service invoice describes the visit and the areas in plain words: interior, perimeter, kitchen. Follow-up visits get their own lines.

The main service
The kind of service and the areas it covered.
A service for one problem
Its own line, with the problem and the room named.
Items by count
Stations and similar items, with a quantity and a price for each.

In the notes, write the areas you serviced and when you plan to come back. Some states set what a pest service record has to show, so check what applies to yours.

Where pest control paperwork goes wrong: a line that says service, with no area. Name the areas, so the customer knows where you were and you know where to start next time.

Pest control estimate questions

What do I need before I estimate?

What the customer has seen and where, and the size of the home.

One visit or a plan?

Send both as separate estimates, so the customer can approve the one they want.

What should the estimate say about follow-up visits?

How many visits the price covers, and what a further visit costs.

What should a pest control estimate leave out?

Say it in the notes: repairs to the building, and problems other than the ones named.

How long should the price hold?

Put a date on it. The estimate maker lets you set how long the price holds.
