When is the right time to send an invoice to your pest control customers?
Most pest control specialists have the customer sign an estimate and then ask for payment upon completion. But if it is a complicated or large job that requires extra materials and contract labor, many exterminators ask for a percentage of the cost up front, with the remainder when the job is finished. If you are on retainer to a corporate client, or to a municipality, invoice at regular intervals to keep the revenue coming in.
