Pest Control Service Report and Door Hanger Generator
Free pest control service report and door hanger: findings, devices checked, products applied with EPA reg numbers, a computed re-entry time and recommendations. No signup.
How this slip works
This is a fill-in form that builds a one-page pest control service report in your browser, as a door hanger to leave at the door or as a standard letter. Type the visit on the left and the slip on the right updates live, then print it or save it as a PDF. Nothing is stored.
Three things on the slip are worked out for you rather than typed. The re-entry time is the longest label REI among the products you listed, added to the finish time. The device summary counts how many devices were checked, how many showed activity and how many need attention. The follow-up line fires when the visit is not finished: moderate or heavy activity, any device showing activity, or any device that is damaged, missing or unreachable.
re-entry time = finish time + max(label REI hours across the products applied)
devices = rows with a recorded status; activity = found or bait consumed
attention = damaged, missing or not accessible
follow-up = moderate/heavy activity OR any device activity OR any device needing attention No REI is ever supplied for you. There is no product database here, no label lookup and no check on the EPA registration number you type: if the REI is blank, no time prints, only the instruction to follow the interval on the label. A typed REI over 720 hours (30 days) is treated as a typo and ignored rather than printed on a customer document. The label-is-the-authority line stays on the slip whenever any product is listed, and cannot be switched off.
Worked example, the sample slip: a quarterly rodent visit finishing at 14:45. Five devices are checked, two exterior stations have had bait taken and one is damaged, so the summary reads 5 checked, 2 with activity, 1 needing attention and the follow-up line fires on both device reasons. A residual carrying a 4 hour label REI was applied, so re-entry prints as 18:45 the same day.
A device row with a location but no status is counted as unfinished, not as checked, so a half-filled row can never overstate what the visit covered.
A pest control service report is the paper you leave behind after a visit: what you found, what you did, what went down, when it is safe to go back in, and what happens next. Fill it in above and it prints as a door hanger for the door or a letter for the file, with no signup and nothing saved to a server.
Written for the customer, not for your files
Most pest visits end with a tech writing four words on a generic invoice stub, and the customer works out later that they have no idea what happened at their house. A leave-behind is the cheapest cancellation prevention there is, because it makes an invisible service visible: the exterior got treated, the stations got checked, two of them had activity, here is the one thing you need to fix.
So the slip is organised the way the customer reads it. Findings first, with an activity level and the conducive conditions you ticked. Then what you did. Then the devices, one row per station, trap or monitor, with its location and status. Then the products. Then re-entry. Then what happens next. Anything you leave empty simply does not print, so the slip stays one page whether the visit took ten minutes or two hours.
Devices, counted honestly
Each device row carries the device type, its location or ID, and a status: no activity, activity found, bait consumed, serviced, rebaited, replaced, damaged, missing or not accessible. Underneath, the slip prints the count that matters to the customer: how many were checked, how many showed activity, how many need attention.
A row with a location but no status does not count as checked. That is deliberate: a half-filled line is an unfinished line, and a slip that quietly counted it would overstate the visit in the one direction that gets a company in trouble.
Two of those statuses, activity found and bait consumed, mean activity. Three of them, damaged, missing and not accessible, mean the device itself needs attention. That, plus a recorded activity level of moderate or heavy, is exactly what raises the follow-up recommended line, with the reasons named.
Re-entry, computed, with the label still in charge
Type the label REI in hours against the products you used and the slip works out the earliest re-entry: the longest applicable interval, added to your finish time, rolling into the next day when it has to. Leave the REI blank and no time prints, only the instruction to follow the interval on the label, and the label-is-the-authority note stays on the slip whenever any product is listed.
There is no product database here, no label lookup and no check on the EPA registration number you type. If you want to work the re-entry clock on its own, the re-entry interval (REI) timer does exactly that and nothing else. For the date the customer should expect you back, the treatment interval and reservice date tool turns a cadence or a product residual into the next visit date.
What this slip is not
It is not your work order. The operational sheet, with charges, labor, the technician license number next to the signature and the crew-copy toggle, is the pest control work order template. Print that one for you and this one for the customer, off the same visit.
It is not a pesticide application record either. That is a separate obligation with its own field set and retention period, kept on the form your state accepts or on the pesticide application log worksheet.
And it is not route software. Nothing is stored: no visit history, no device map that remembers station 4 was damaged last quarter, no auto-emailing, no customer database. Everything you type is gone when you reload the page. Print it, save the PDF, file it yourself.
