A pest control checklist format filled area by area on every visit is that record. Download the CSV for Excel and adjust the areas per site. ## Pest control checklist format: columns - Site, visit date, technician, visit type (routine, follow-up, complaint) - Area (kitchen, store, dry store, drains, washrooms, garbage area, perimeter) - Pest activity seen (cockroach, rodent, fly, ant, none) - Treatment done (gel, spray, bait, trap, fogging) - Bait / monitoring station no. and status - Chemical used and quantity - Recommendation to client (seal gap, fix drain cover, clean grease) - Client remarks and sign-off ## Bait station map Number every rodent bait station and mark it on a simple site plan. On each visit, record each station: no activity, activity, bait replaced, station damaged. A rising count in one area tells you where to act. ## Recommendations are part of the job Many infestations come back because of gaps, drains and food left out. Writing the recommendation on the checklist and getting it signed protects you when the client blames the treatment. ## From checklist to contract record ServicePilot's [pest control template](https://servicepilot.in/industries/pest-control/) sets up treatments, follow-up visits and AMCs, with checklists on each job and the history on the site.
