How to estimate pest control jobs
- Inspect and identify pest species and extent of infestation
- Measure: sqft for interior, linear feet of foundation for termite/perimeter
- Select treatment method and products — list specifically in proposal
- Define warranty: what triggers a callback and how many are included
- Offer a recurring service plan — most revenue in pest control is recurring
Pest control estimating pitfalls
- Not specifying products by name — clients ask, and vague answers lose trust
- Forgetting to note what the warranty does NOT cover (German cockroach vs. American cockroach)
- Undercharging for bed bug treatments — heat treatment equipment is expensive
