Free pest control estimate template

What goes on a pest control estimate

A pest control estimate needs how bad the infestation is, a treatment plan with a timeline, a prevention plan priced alongside, and entry points sealed as their own item. Those are the lines this template adds to the scope, materials, timeline, labor and terms any estimate has (explained in what a service estimate needs), and each is explained below in the order it appears on the estimate.

1. 1

   How bad the infestation is

   Infestation found Light Moderate Heavy

   Describe how bad the infestation was when you inspected. The severity sets the treatment and the number of follow-ups, and it is the reason your price is what it is. The sample ticks “Moderate” on a light, moderate, heavy scale; add what you found and where — activity along the foundation, signs in the attic — so the customer sees it too.

2. 2

   Termites, wildlife and prevention, as ranges

   ProjectsPrice range

   Termite treatment

   Liquid soil treatment — full perimeter, garage, foundation cracks, annual monitoring

   Low to high depends on how bad the infestation is

   $1,200–$2,500

   Price each project as a range. The pest control sample quotes a liquid soil termite treatment with annual monitoring at $1,200–$2,500, a raccoon removal with its entry points sealed at $400–$1,200, and a quarterly prevention plan at $400–$600 a year. How far the termite price climbs depends on how bad the infestation is — the reason its severity is ticked above the prices.

3. 3

   The prevention plan, priced alongside

   Quarterly prevention plan

   Quarterly interior/exterior treatment — general pests, rodent monitoring, web removal (annual)

   $400–$600/year

   If you offer a prevention plan, price it alongside the one-time treatment. The customer is deciding about the treatment now; the plan beside it shows what keeping the problem away costs by the year. The sample lists its quarterly prevention plan as the third project, at $400–$600 a year, right under the termite treatment and the wildlife removal.

4. 4

   A treatment plan with a timeline

   Treatment planInitial Follow-up Follow-up

   Lay the treatment out as a timeline: the initial treatment, then each follow-up, with its date. Many treatments take more than one visit, and a customer who expects one may decide the first did not work. The sample leaves three dates to fill in — “Initial ____ Follow-up ____ Follow-up ____” — so the whole course is agreed before it starts.

5. 5

   Entry points, sealed as their own item

   Also quoted · a separate job

   Inspection and first treatment

   Labor$645.00

   Materials$132.00

   This job$777.00

   Note structural repairs, such as sealing entry points, as a separate item. Sealing is a repair rather than a treatment, and listing it apart shows the customer what keeps the problem from coming back. The second job on this sample is itemized that way — rodent exclusion, and its steel wool, foam and mesh, on lines of their own: $645.00 of labor, $132.00 of materials, $777.00 in all.

6. 6

   The guarantee, the deposit and the signatures

   5.If pests return within days of treatment, re-treatment is free.

   Deposit received $ on

   Customer signature & date

   Contractor signature & date

   State your guarantee in the terms: what it covers, how long it runs, and what happens if pests return. The pest control sample’s term reads “If pests return within ____ days of treatment, re-treatment is free.” Above it, half books the first treatment — $388.50 of $777.00. The customer signs under the guarantee and the treatment plan together, so the follow-ups are part of what they agreed to.
