A pest control invoice template can help your business keep track of transactions between both you and your customer so you both have a record of the work performed and cost. That way, when conflicts arise like lay payments, legal issues, and tax audits, you have clear documentation.
Beyond that, invoices also can help grow your business. Invoices can be used to analyze how your business is performing by highlighting which services are most popular and profitable. And invoices are prime real estate for marketing to your customer after you’ve left with requests for reviews, coupon offers, and referral award opportunities.
What are pest control invoices?
An invoice is essentially a bill that summarizes the work your customer received and its cost broken down by service, materials, cost, tax, and any deductions like discounts. Pest control invoices typically break down their invoice into services performed with labor and materials included in the service at a flat rate. However, even if you’re selling a service in a package deal, it can be helpful to include a list of what chemicals were used treating your customer’s house so you have a clear record.

Pest Control Contracts

This can include
- Scope of work: What your service does and does not cover
- Satisfaction Guarantee: To showing the customer you stand behind your work
- Responsibilities: When the client is responsible for playing, refund terms, whether you’ll charge for retreats of certain services, insurance, state regulations, liability, etc.
- Agreement Period: The beginning and ending date of the agreement.

Date
Included should be the date services were performed and/or date the invoice was presented.
How To Pay
The easier it is for your customers to pay, the quicker they’ll pay. Always include your payment terms and conditions as well as how they can pay, whether it’s online, in person, or by mail. Make your payment options include. Do you take cash, checks, debit or credit cards, or mobile payments through an app like FieldPulse?

This information should include your business name, email address, telephone number, website, and address as well as their technician’s name.

When it’s time to collect payments, it helps to have the customers’ information readily accessible. At the top of your invoice, include the address, telephone number, email address, and customer name – or if they’re a business, the business’ name and primary contact.
Cost Breakdown and Description
In the middle of your invoice, you should include a list of what the customer was charged with descriptions as well as the unit price, tax rate, quantity, and total cost. While most pest control businesses only break down their invoices by services performed, some may also include labo (hours worked) and materials (products used).
Marketing
Invoices can also be a good opportunity to get referrals, reviews, and encourage users to come to you again with future concerns.
On an invoice, include a link to:
- Social media profiles like Facebook or Instagram so users can follow your accounts and leave reviews.
- Review listing sites, like Google, Yelp, and Angie’s List so your customers can evaluate your work. Or, if you want more detailed feedback to keep tabs on how your employees are doing, a customer satisfaction survey.
Pest control businesses can also benefit from including a mention of their:
- Referral Program, which encourages customers to recommend you to their family, friends, and co-workers. In exchange for a referral, your customers would get a discount or gift card.
- Discounts, like 10% off their next service or quarterly inspections/monitoring.
Regulated Info
Regulated info is information you’re legally required to include like your licensing number as well as any tax information.
Notes
Some pest control providers like to make a brief note or forethought on the invoice – like explaining the condition they found the property in or any issues that arouse and suggestions for future prevention.
