Revenue recognition at and after time of sale. Stone Pest Control offers extermination services to customers in various arrangements and packages. For example, a customer could call Stone as needed to come out and spray for insects; for this service, Stone charges $80 per service call. For a separate termite inspection, Stone charges $100. Alternatively, the customer can sign an annual $300 contract with Stone for quarterly service visits plus one termite inspection. The contract also permits the customer to request spraying services at any time between quarterly visits, at no extra charge.
