Eagle InvoicePest Controllers quote template
Pest control quotes sell certainty: what pest, what treatment, how long the warranty lasts. A one-line 'spray house — $250' quote loses to the one that names the pests covered and the free re-treatment window.
What a pest controller quote should include
- The pests covered by the treatment, named individually
- Property size the price covers (e.g. up to 4 bedrooms, single storey)
- Treatment type — spray, bait, dust, barrier — and where it's applied
- The warranty / free re-treatment period in writing
- Preparation the client must do (clear cupboards, pets out) and re-entry time
- Your pest control licence number; termite work noted as separately licensed where required
- Your ABN, GST treatment, and quote validity period

Quoting tips from the field
- Put the re-treatment warranty in writing on every quote — 'free return within 3 months if covered pests come back' wins jobs against cheaper quotes with no guarantee.
- Quote the annual plan next to the single treatment. The side-by-side comparison does the upsell for you.
- Name the active constituents or product families on request — clients with kids and pets ask, and having it ready builds instant trust.
- For termites, state what the inspection covers and that treatment is quoted separately after inspection. Surprises on termite jobs sour clients fast.
Common questions
Do pest controllers charge GST?
If you're registered for GST, show the ex-GST amount, the 10% GST, and the total separately — clients trust a quote they can follow. Once the job is done, the invoice for anything over $82.50 (incl. GST) must be a proper tax invoice showing your ABN.
How often should pest treatments be done?
General treatments are commonly annual (six-monthly in heavy-pressure areas), while termite inspections are recommended yearly in most of Australia. Quoting a recurring plan locks that schedule in — and turns one-off jobs into repeat business.
Should a warranty go on a pest control quote?
Yes — the warranty period is what separates professional operators from spray-and-go. State which pests are covered, how long the free re-treatment window runs, and any conditions (like the client completing the prep). It converts better than a lower price.
