Pest & wildlife

Pest and wildlife work carries costs other trades never see: guarantee retreats, daily trap-check trips, liability on every inspection, and seasonal chemistry that has to be priced before the first ant shows up. These calculators put the callbacks and the return trips inside the quote, where they belong.

• Guarantee retreats are part of the job, so price them in. Assume a realistic callback rate and spread it across every account.
• Daily trap checks are the job. Quote the trips, not just the capture, and set a per-trip structure for long sets.
• Seasonal pricing should be signed before the season. Per-yard math with mound or pressure counts keeps renewals honest.
• Exclusion work sells the warranty. Price the warranty period explicitly and customers will see the value instead of haggling the total.
