What Schema.org type do I use to define a service?

microdata, rich-snippets, schema.org

Solution

At http://schema.org/Product it reads (bold emphasis mine):

A product is anything that is made available for sale—for example, a pair of shoes, a concert ticket, or a car. Commodity services, like haircuts, can also be represented using this type.

So I’d say if you sell the "Termite control" service, `Product` is fine.

Update: The description for `Product` changed to this:

Any offered product or service. For example: a pair of shoes; a concert ticket; the rental of a car; a haircut; or an episode of a TV show streamed online.

So it still includes services.

While there is now also the type `Service` ("A service provided by an organization, e.g. delivery service, print services, etc."), it misses properties to sell this service, i.e., you can’t reference an `Offer` and so you can’t denote a price for the service you provide.

Update: A `Service` can now also have the `offers` property, so it’s possible to sell/offer a `Service`. (Thanks for the notice, @Murali KG.)

Problem

How I define a service with schema.org? For example, A pest control business: "Termite control" -> I think it's not a product ( http://schema.org/Product ) What should I use to define it?
