Start a pest control business
Quarterly service is the best recurring revenue in the trades. It starts with the applicator licence and a company to hold it.
What slows pest control operators down
- Applicator and company licences, which can be separate
- Quarterly customers who must never be missed
- Commercial accounts with their own paperwork
- Rodent exclusion quotes with materials and hours
What Service Boss handles
Pest control licence checklist
Pest control and your state: the licences and any bond, each sourced to the body that issues it.
Quarterly customers on schedule
Every service address with its visit dates in the CRM, with appointments so no quarter is missed.
Exclusion quotes
Materials, entry points and hours as lines, accepted online and turned into the invoice when the work is done.
The company holds the licence
Form the LLC or corporation that holds your business licence, with a registered agent and EIN.
Jobs you can quote and invoice
- Quarterly service
- Rodent exclusion
- Commercial accounts
- Bait programs
How it goes
A licensed applicator leaves a national chain: LLC formed, his state's company licence checklist worked through, and 120 quarterly customers in the CRM within a year.
Requirements research, not legal advice. Rules can differ by city and county; every item we give you names the authority that issues it.
