The place-area data works out to roughly 2,674 residents per square mile, so the estimate should still spell out access, arrival window, and work-area assumptions.
For pest control, that means the pest control quote should explain the target pests, treatment zones, follow-up policy, product category, and conditions the homeowner must correct.

| Follow-up policy | A cheap first visit can be poor value if retreatment or monitoring is excluded. | How many visits are included, and what triggers a no-charge callback? |
