Pest control estimate template
A worked pest control example, the exclusions that matter in this trade, and a PDF you can print. No sign-up.
A pest control estimate needs your business details and license number, the customer and job address, one line per task and material with quantity and price, the total, any deposit, what is excluded, and a place to approve. The template below is the generic contractor estimate pre-filled with a pest control job so you can see what good looks like, plus the exclusions pest control techs most often forget. It's free, printable, and there's no sign-up.

The example rows are in grey; write over them. Blank rows below for your own lines, then tax, deposit, exclusions, terms and a signature line. The blank version has no example.
Worked example: Initial interior and exterior treatment for ants, seal entry points
| Line | Qty | Price | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inspection | 1 ea | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Interior and exterior perimeter treatment | 1 ea | $189.00 | $189.00 |
| Seal entry points at foundation and utility lines | 1 ea | $95.00 | $95.00 |
| Follow-up treatment within 30 days if activity continues | 1 ea | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Total before tax | $284.00 |
Example prices only; use yours. In Settle you'd say this job out loud and it writes these lines from the prices you charged last time.

What matters in pest control estimates
- Show what's free. A $0 inspection or follow-up line is a selling point. Put it on the estimate.
- Name the pest. "Ants, interior and exterior" is what the customer is buying.
- Say what the follow-up covers. Same pest, same areas, within a set number of days.
- Exclude the expensive ones. Termites and bed bugs are their own quote.
