Pest control routes are expensive — and the software still crashes

Dispatch pest control techs with smarter routes, faster callbacks, and fewer missed jobs.

When route software fails, a missed callback becomes a lost customer and a wasted truck roll.

THE MARKET

The pest-control routing cluster is small but commercially hot: 52 keywords average 344.6 monthly searches, with average CPC at $17.26 and 12 commercial terms. The highest-intent terms include "truck routing software" at $73.47 CPC and "routing software for deliveries" at $43.51.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"app crashes on launch","won't open at all","unusable due to crashing"
THE GAP

Generic route planners are crowded, but the reviews show they still break in the field. Pest control also needs recurring service history, emergency callbacks, and property notes — not just stop sequencing.

THE BUILD

Build a pest-control route planner that batches recurring visits, handles emergency callbacks, and ties each stop to treatment history and notes. Start with owner-operators and 3–50 tech teams that already search for "pest control route app" and "pest control route manager."

WEEKEND MVP

Import 20 stops, auto-optimize the route, and let a tech mark notes and next-service dates on mobile.
