Pest control

Software for pest control businesses

A domestic call-out and a commercial contract are nearly different businesses. One is a treatment and a follow-up; the other is a year of scheduled visits where the customer is buying the paperwork as much as the work, because an environmental health officer will want to read it.

What is different about this trade

The report is a deliverable, not a record. A commercial customer is buying evidence that the site was inspected on a date by a named person — so the form is yours, it is versioned, it is signed on site, and changing one after it is signed is an authorised amendment rather than a quiet edit.

How it handles your day

A contract that books itself

Scheduled treatments through the year at the agreed price, each going into somebody's diary rather than onto a list of things to arrange.

Your report, signed on site

The fields you actually record, versioned so last year's reports still read as they were issued, signed at the end of the visit and kept against the job.

The follow-up that is a sale

A treatment that has to be agreed and paid for again goes on a call list ahead of the date instead of into the diary — and a job can carry one or the other, never both.

Evidence of what was found

Photographs against the visit, dated, internal unless you choose to send them — which on a commercial site is often exactly what the customer needs to show somebody else.

Commercial billed monthly

A chain with twelve sites gets one statement a month, a line per site visit with its reference and date, on their payment terms.

Questions, answered

Can I run annual contracts with scheduled visits?

Yes — work agreed to repeat at a set price books its own next visit. Work that has to be sold again each time only goes on a call list, and a job cannot carry both.

Can I produce a site report at each visit?

Yes, using your own forms rather than a fixed template. They are versioned, so a change of wording does not rewrite what was issued last year.

Who can change a signed report?

Only somebody with authority to, and it is recorded as an amendment. A report anybody could quietly edit afterwards is not evidence of anything.

Can one customer have several sites?

Each site is its own job with its own address and site contact, billed to the customer who instructs and pays.

How do multi-site customers get invoiced?

One monthly statement, a line per visit with the site reference and the date, rather than an invoice per treatment.

Before you start

When you sign up you are asked what the business does. Pick Pest Control — the app uses it to decide what to show you, so the screens arrive already suited to the work rather than needing switching off one at a time.

The arithmetic behind this is free to use without an account — try the VAT calculator, which runs the same code the invoices do.

See it being done

Step-by-step guides with a short recording of each one, free to read without an account.

Set up work that repeats

Regular visits booked ahead automatically, and reminders for work that has to be sold again.

Build and use your own certificates

Completion certificates and compliance forms your engineers fill in and sign off on site.

Bill a customer once a month

A letting agent or a housing association who sends you forty jobs a month gets one invoice, with a line for each.

Also worth a look

Most businesses on this list do more than one of these. It is the same product and the same price either way.

Window and gutter cleaning

A hundred small jobs that repeat, not ten big ones. The next visit books itself at the agreed price, and the small balances get chased without you.

Drainage engineers

Emergency call-outs, wasted journeys counted rather than hidden, and survey footage shared as a link instead of an email nobody can open.
