Invoicing Software for Pest Control Services
How a pest control company can use Billed to quote an initial treatment on an estimate, bill service plans with recurring invoices, write invoices from a phone in the field, and record card, PayPal, cash or check payments.
Key Takeaways
- Quote the first treatment as an estimate, then convert it to an invoice once the customer approves.
- Bill service plans with a recurring profile: Billed's invoice software page says you choose "the billing frequency (daily, weekly, monthly or yearly)".
- Build the invoice on your phone at the end of a visit and send it before you leave.
- Customers can pay by card through Stripe or by PayPal, or you can record cash and checks as offline payments.
Pest control work and licensing
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (page last modified September 14, 2026) says "Pest control workers remove insects, rodents, and other pests that infest buildings and surrounding areas." It also says: "State laws require pest control workers to be licensed." Its Occupational Outlook Handbook lists 108,700 jobs in that occupation in 2025.
Licensing, pesticide records and what a treatment report has to include are set by your state, so check with your state's pesticide regulatory agency. This page covers the invoices, not those records.
Quoting the initial treatment
Billed's invoice software page says you can "save the products and services you sell so you can pull them into an invoice instead of retyping them." For a pest control company, that means saving each treatment and service you offer once, then adding them to estimates and invoices. Billed's estimating page says you can "customize units and quantities for each product," such as a number of bait stations, and "Add comments and important notes in your estimates for your client," such as the areas to be treated.
The same page says you can "Attach important files and images with your estimates" and "Share your online estimates with your clients via shareable public link." When the customer approves, Billed's features page says you can "Convert your estimate to invoice with a single click after getting approval from your client." Billed's help center says that after you convert, "You can add and edit any information here."
Service plans on a schedule
For customers on an ongoing plan, Billed's invoice software page says: "For clients you bill on a schedule, set up a recurring profile once. Choose the billing frequency (daily, weekly, monthly or yearly) and how many invoices to send, or keep sending until you stop." It adds: "Billed creates the invoices automatically and either sends them or saves them as drafts for you to check."
Saving each invoice as a draft suits a plan where a visit can be added or skipped, because you can check the invoice before it goes out.
Worked example: an initial treatment and a monthly plan
These are sample figures, not suggested prices. A homeowner asks for help with ants and mice. The estimate has two lines: initial interior and exterior treatment, 1 at 225.00 = 225.00, and rodent bait stations, 4 at 35.00 = 140.00. The total is 225.00 + 140.00 = 365.00. Sales tax isn't shown, because whether pest control services are taxable depends on your state.
The homeowner approves, the technician converts the estimate to an invoice after the visit, and the homeowner pays by card through Stripe.
The homeowner also signs up for a monthly plan at 49.00. The company sets up a recurring profile billed monthly for 12 invoices, which comes to 12 × 49.00 = 588.00 over the year.
Getting paid in the field
Billed's mobile app page says: "Build a professional invoice from your phone the moment a job wraps." It also says: "Add line items, your logo, and tax, then send by email or share a link before you leave the site."
Billed's payments page says "Billed integrates with Stripe to enable online payments on invoices." and "Add your Paypal account to Billed to start accepting payments via Paypal on your invoices." For cash or checks, Billed's invoice software page says: "When a client pays by check or cash, record it as an offline payment so all your income is in one place." It adds: "After a client pays, you can send them a payment receipt." For invoices that aren't paid yet, the same page says "Invoice reports show which invoices are paid, partially paid or past due, and you can see who owes you money and send them a payment reminder." and "Payment reminders can be customized."
