Pest Control
Your Customer History Lives in Someone's Head
When a repeat customer calls, nobody can find their history. Equipment lists, past invoices, and service notes are scattered across paper files and spreadsheets.

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 Customer Records Actually Looks in Pest Control
The Scenario
A customer calls about recurring ant activity. The tech who normally services the account is on vacation. The replacement tech has no idea what was treated last time, what bait stations are where, or what the customer's specific concerns are.
The Real Impact
Without accessible treatment history, re-service visits take twice as long and often repeat the same ineffective treatment.
What the Research Says
“The U.S. pest control industry generates $23 billion annually across 32,000+ businesses. Customer retention depends on accessible treatment history — yet most still use paper records.”
— IBISWorld Pest Control Industry Report, 2025

The Cost of Doing Nothing
