Cockroach treatment is the most common call a pest control firm gets, and customers compare prices on the phone. A cockroach treatment price built from the job (size, method, follow-up) lets you quote fast and still make money. Here is the method; the figures are illustrative, not market rates.
What goes into a cockroach treatment price
- Size: 1BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK, villa; or square feet for shops and offices
- Kitchens and bathrooms: where most of the work is
- Method: gel bait, spray, or both
- Product: quantity per job, from your purchase price
- Labour and travel: time on site and the trip
- Follow-up visit: included or priced separately
Worked example (illustrative, not a market rate)
A 2BHK flat, gel plus spray, one follow-up:
- Gel and spray product: Rs 350
- Labour: 1 technician x 1.5 hours x Rs 250 = Rs 375
- Travel: Rs 150
- Follow-up visit (product, labour, travel): Rs 400
- Overhead share: Rs 200
- Cost Rs 1,475; with a 40% margin, about Rs 2,050
Packages and add-ons
- Fixed prices for 1BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK and villas
- Add-ons: extra kitchen, store room, combined with ants or bed bugs
- Commercial kitchens and restaurants: survey first, then a monthly plan
From one visit to a yearly plan
A customer who paid once will call again in a few months. Offer a yearly plan at the first visit and record it. In ServicePilot the treatment is logged on the customer, the follow-up is booked as a job, and service reminders go out before the next visit.
