Take your normal hourly rate, add on a percentage for specialist service (ULV/Fog) and add on the cost of prep. Failing that, do what the big boys do: work out what it will cost, times by ten, divide by 2, times by1.9, plus VAT, then offer a big discount if they dont bite. |

Andy beware of overwintering bugs that may be in soil,away from insecticide. Word what is covered, and for how long.You could try follow up fog/ULV springtime for emerging pests just a thought.

Andy treating this time of year for certain bugs yep,but springtime peaktime, sell your expertise. Used to use Phosdrine,no longer with us a nerve agent for Uncle Sam.
Check if they are doing any work in glasshouses, will ruin residual, as may a few hot days.

The experts keep telling us in OZ that we should be charging $100 per hour to cover our overheads. Thats about 30 pounds and a bit if my maths is near enough. Add on the cost of the product, plus a profit margin for the company (15% sounds good)Add VAT
Alternately. Become familiar with an applied cost per cubic metre/yard and be able to quote off the top of your head each and every time
