Winning Pest Control Jobs with Professional Quotes
Homeowners dealing with pest problems are often anxious, unsure of what treatments they need, and comparing multiple companies. A clear, educational quote does more than list prices — it explains the problem, presents the solution, and justifies the cost. The pest control company that best communicates value (not just the lowest price) wins the long-term customer.
Structuring a Pest Control Quote
Organize your quote around the customer's specific pest issue:
- Inspection findings — describe the pest identified, severity level, and affected areas
- Recommended treatment plan — initial treatment method plus any follow-up visits required
- One-time treatment pricing — cost for a single service with warranty duration
- Recurring plan options — monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly service plans with per-visit and annual pricing
- Exclusion and prevention work — sealing entry points, installing screens, removing attractants
- Termite-specific items — bait station installation, liquid barrier treatment, annual monitoring fees
- Warranty and guarantee terms — what is covered and for how long
Quoting Tips for Pest Control Professionals
Always perform an inspection before quoting. Blind phone quotes without seeing the property lead to inaccurate pricing and unhappy customers. During the inspection, take photos and notes that you can reference in the quote to show the customer you understand their specific situation.
Offer multiple service tiers. A one-time treatment might cost $199–$349, while a quarterly prevention plan at $45–$65 per visit provides ongoing protection. Present both options and explain the long-term value of prevention. Customers on recurring plans have a significantly higher lifetime value than one-time service customers.
Include your licensing information, insurance coverage, and any industry certifications (QualityPro, GreenPro) on the quote. These credentials differentiate you from unlicensed operators and justify premium pricing.
