Pest Control

No ReKeying — Every Tech Arrives Knowing the Full History of That Unit

When a tech arrives at a site, the unit's full service history should be in their hand — not in a binder in the machine room or in a retired tech's memory. No ReKeying means every field entry becomes a permanent digital record linked to that specific equipment serial number.

Pest control runs on tight routes and recurring service plans. Chemical application logs, bait station maps, and treatment histories on paper make compliance a risk and re-service decisions a guessing game.

How Equipment Service History Actually Looks in Pest Control

The Scenario

A pest control tech arrives at a commercial restaurant account for a scheduled service visit. The customer asks about the ant problem that was treated two visits ago. The tech has no record of the previous treatment — bait station placements, products used, or findings.

The Real Impact

Without per-account service history, technicians re-diagnose known problems, repeat treatments that already failed, and miss pattern data that would identify structural pest entry points.

Does This Sound Like Your Pest Control Operation?

  • !Techs arrive with no knowledge of what was done to the unit last time
  • !Service history is split across paper binders, emails, and one person's memory
  • !Repeated diagnostics on the same unit because nobody documented the root cause

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Arriving without unit history adds 45–90 minutes of diagnostic re-work per service call. At $100/hour and 3 such calls per tech per week, that is $15K–$23K/year in wasted labor per technician.
