Pest Control
No ReKeying — Know If a Job Made Money Before You Close It
Your techs track materials on paper, hours on a clipboard, and overhead is allocated by gut feel. Job costing happens in a spreadsheet two weeks after the job closed — if it happens at all. No ReKeying means every cost is captured live so you always know your margin before the invoice goes out.

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 Job Cost Tracking Actually Looks in Pest Control
The Scenario
A pest control company completes a $6,000 commercial fumigation job. The crew used bait stations and two chemical products. Usage was tracked on paper. When the job is reconciled, $400 in chemical product can't be accounted for.
The Real Impact
Chemical shrinkage on untracked jobs runs 5–12% of product cost. At $200K/year in chemical spend, that is $10K–$24K annually in unrecovered material cost.
Does This Sound Like Your Pest Control Operation?
- !Cannot tell if a completed job made or lost money until weeks later
- !Materials used in the field don't match what was ordered
- !Labor hours are estimated, not measured — and the estimate is always off
The Cost of Doing Nothing
On average, field service contractors underestimate job costs by 15–20%. On a $200K/month revenue base, that blindness costs $30K–$40K in unrecovered margin per year.
