What a pest control price list is for
Pest control callers want to know if they can afford help before they book an inspection. A price list with plan prices, one-time treatments and starting prices for the bigger jobs answers that. Say which prices depend on an inspection, since termites and rodents vary a lot by house.
What to put on a pest control price list
- Recurring plan prices by frequency.
- One-time treatments.
- Starting prices for termites, rodents and bed bugs.
- Which services need an inspection first.
- Service area and license number.
A worked example
A residential price list for the services callers ask about most, with the bigger jobs marked as starting prices.
| Line | Qty | Unit | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| General pest service, quarterly, per visit | 1 | visit | Your price |
| Initial treatment | 1 | each | Your price |
| One-time general treatment | 1 | each | Your price |
| Wasp or hornet nest removal | 1 | each | Your price |
| Mosquito treatment, per visit | 1 | visit | Your price |
| Termite inspection | 1 | each | Your price |
| Bed bug treatment, per room, from | 1 | room | Your price |
Mark termite and bed bug prices as starting prices that depend on the inspection. Callers accept that once they see the rest of the list is fixed.
