From each supplier's own site on the date in the sources; call your branch before you plan around it.
Your counter list
The items pest control companies buy every week, from the van stock on our tools list. Ask each supplier for a price on these first; they decide which account saves you the most.
| Item | Why it is on the list |
|---|---|
| Liquid concentrates you are certified to use | Perimeter and spot treatments |
| Gel and granular baits | Interior and exterior baiting |
| Dusts | Voids and crevices |
| Glue boards and monitors | Tracking activity between visits |
| Rodent blocks and replacement stations | Restocking stations each visit |
| Service tickets or the app open on your phone | Recording product, rate and area on every visit |
For the first order, price the starter kit too: backpack or compression sprayer; hand duster and bulb duster; bait gun for gel baits; flashlight and inspection mirror; rodent bait stations and snap traps; ppe: gloves, respirator, eye protection and coveralls; locking chemical storage box for the truck; spill kit and label binder. Bigger purchases to price at a dealer or rental house: powered backpack sprayer and mistblower; truck-mounted spray rig with hose reel; moisture meter; exclusion tools and materials; step ladder.
Opening a trade account
Bring your business name, tax ID and license number, and a credit application if you want terms. The big-box programs are compared row by row on Home Depot Pro vs Lowe's Pro. For the tools themselves, the pest control tools list has prices read on the makers' own sites (STIHL, Little Giant).
When supplier prices change
Update your pest control price list the same week a supplier raises prices. In Koira, that price list is what your estimates are built from.
