Pest control quoting software for treatments and plans
Build your own pricing by home size and treatment, sell the first service and the repeat plan together, and bill on schedule.
Pest control sells on trust and a clear plan. ZoloBid lets you price by home size and treatment and send a written quote the customer can approve in a minute.
How pest control companies price
Pest control is priced by the size of the home and the kind of treatment. General pest service, covering ants, roaches, spiders and the like, is usually sold as a first service plus a repeat plan. The first visit costs more because it is the heavy one. Quarterly or every other month visits keep the barrier up.
Specialty work is priced on its own. Termite treatment is priced by the linear foot around the foundation or by the size of the structure. Bed bugs are priced by the room. Mosquito service is priced by yard size and sold by the season. Rodent work combines trapping visits with sealing entry points.
The business runs on repeat revenue. A one time treatment pays once. A customer on a plan pays every quarter for years. The quote should show both the first service and the plan, with the difference in price, so the customer can see why the plan is the better deal.

Priced the way you already think
Answer a few questions on site and your own pricing rules turn them into lines:
- Home size

Build the questions and rules for your own way of pricing. Nothing quotes until you confirm each rule.
ZoloBid never sets your prices. The rates, minimums and markups are yours.

What slows a pest control quote down
Prices quoted over the phone
Without seeing the home, the number is a guess you are held to.
Follow up visits unclear
Customers need to see what is included and what a return visit costs.
One time jobs that never repeat
Without a record and a follow up, the customer forgets who treated the house.
