AI invoicing tools for pest controllers in the UK

Pest control firms invoice one-off domestic treatments, often paid on the day, and commercial contracts billed monthly or quarterly. The contract side is where late payment builds up.

Prices were re-checked on each provider's own page; the date is next to each one. Rules and figures from GOV.UK are linked where they're used.

Domestic jobs

Take card payment or send a payment link at the end of the visit.

Contract billing

Bill contracts on a recurring schedule and send statements. Statutory interest on late business payments is 8% plus base rate (GOV.UK).

Records

Attach the visit report to the invoice so the customer's records match yours.
