Describe your services and quoting needs. Makeform builds an online request form for infestation, property, access, photo, and scheduling details so your team can review the job and send a quote.
Route estimate requests to email, Slack, Google Sheets, and Zapier.

Better estimate requests
A name and number do not show whether the job is ants in one cabinet or rodents across a warehouse. Structured intake captures the scope.
Show wood and foundation questions for termites, or entry-point and droppings questions for rodents.
Receive property, location, duration, treatment, and access details in the same structure.
Notify the residential, commercial, termite, or wildlife estimator based on the selected service.
Built around pest work
Start with your services, then reveal only the relevant questions.
Capture home size, pest location, pets, attempted treatments, and availability.
Ask about facility zones, hours, current service, access, and visit frequency.
Collect construction details, visible evidence, prior treatment, foundation access, and photos while setting the expectation that a walkthrough may be needed.
Separate activity signs, entry points, and optional cleanup or sealing work.
Four-step setup
Describe your qualification process, review the fields, and connect submissions to your quoting workflow.
List pests, properties, and facts used to choose a remote quote or inspection.
Add service options, require contact fields, and reveal pest-specific questions.
Share a link or embed the form on service pages for details and photos.
Notify the estimator, tag inspection requests, and arrange the next step.
Intake approaches
An online form preserves after-hours details and photos while your team controls how pricing is confirmed.
Field guide
These six sections turn a vague request into a reviewable lead. Adapt them to your estimating process.
Customer
Capture who the estimator can reach. For rentals or commercial sites, distinguish the requester from the person who provides entry.
Property
Property type and size shape the walkthrough. Let the technician verify measurements and conditions when needed.
Infestation
Offer an uncertain pest option and ask about observable evidence. Location, duration, and frequency are often more useful than a guess.
History
Prior sprays, traps, repairs, and service visits can change the next step. Keep that history with the request.
Evidence
Images of pests, droppings, damage, nests, mud tubes, or gaps can help route a lead but do not replace an assessment.
Access and timing
Record when someone can provide access and note tenants, locked gates, loading docks, pets, or restricted hours.

Yes. Add uploads for pests, droppings, nests, damage, mud tubes, or entry points. Request close and wider views when practical, and treat images as intake evidence rather than an inspection.
Start with a pest selector and an unsure choice. Reveal foundation questions for termites, entry-point questions for rodents, nesting questions for wasps, or facility zones for commercial service.
Yes. Add facility type and size, hours, affected zones, current program, requested frequency, access instructions, and a walkthrough contact. Route specialized accounts to the right estimator.

Replace vague callbacks with structured requests.
