Systems for Pest Control
Exterminators earn their income through high-volume recurring service agreements and one-time emergency calls for infestations. Money often slips away when techs miss quarterly service windows, follow-up termite inspections are not scheduled, or chemical usage is not tracked against work orders.

How the business actually works
Lead Intake
Homeowners experiencing active infestations contact the office for emergency treatment or preventative quotes.
Inspection
A technician assesses the perimeter and interior to identify nesting sites, entry points, and moisture issues.
Agreement
The customer signs a recurring service contract or a specific treatment plan for targeted pests.
Initial Service
The crew performs the primary knockdown treatment and establishes a chemical barrier around the property.
Quarterly Rotation
Regular visits are scheduled to refresh bait stations and treat the exterior based on seasonal pest migration.
Documentation
Technicians record specific chemical applications and structural recommendations for the property owner.
Renewal
The annual termite bond or recurring general pest agreement is billed for another term.
Where it leaks
Technicians often focus on new calls while existing quarterly customers fall off the calendar. This leads to customer churn when pests return because a barrier treatment was missed by two weeks.
Chasing checks after a exterior perimeter spray is inefficient and delays cash flow. Many service companies struggle with customers who are not home during the day to provide payment.
Failure to document specific activity in bait stations or moisture readings leads to liability and customer complaints. Without digital records, it is impossible to prove the value of a preventative visit.
Seasonal spikes in ant or wasp activity can paralyze the dispatch office. Manual intake results in missed calls and lost opportunities to convert one-time jobs into long-term contracts.
Lapsed termite bonds and expired annual contracts represent thousands in lost recurring revenue. Manual tracking in spreadsheets often leads to missed renewal dates and lost accounts.

Example systems
Tell us what's slowing the business down. LATTICE can build around the way your business operates.
Our systems focus on exterior-only service agreements where payment is handled via autopay. The technician completes the perimeter work, logs the photos, and the system notifies the customer that the barrier has been refreshed without needing a signature.
Yes, we build workflows that segment your list by property size or previous service history. When a technician notes standing water or heavy foliage, the system can automatically trigger a specialized email campaign for those specific add-on services.
We implement education-based drip campaigns that explain the importance of winter attic inspections and rodent exclusion. By maintaining contact during the off-season, you keep the recurring revenue stable throughout the year.
While we are not a GPS tool, our scheduling logic groups recurring services by neighborhood or zip code. This ensures your technicians spend less time driving and more time performing treatments at residential and commercial properties.
The system includes a dedicated portal where customers can report a sighting. This creates a high-priority service ticket for a follow-up visit, ensuring you maintain your service guarantee without manual office coordination.
