Pest Control

What the platform does for a pest control company: it keeps the inspection, the treatment, and the record filed at the licensed location, in the order the law wants.

What it does for you

Your Command Center, in your words

Pest Control has its own configuration.

Stinger is one system, not a different product per trade. What changes is the configuration it runs on: the words on the screen, the columns on the board, the stages a job moves through, and the rules that decide what comes first. This is the Pest control configuration, as it ships.

The words on the screen

A piece of work is called
Treatment
An incoming call is called
Service request
The board is called
Route board

Job types: Inspection, Treatment, Re-treatment, Wildlife.

The columns on your board

  • Inquiry
  • Inspected
  • Quoted
  • Scheduled
  • Treated

An incoming caller is a homeowner.

The stages a job moves through

  1. Captured
  2. Inspected
  3. Quoted
  4. Approved
  5. Scheduled
  6. Treated
  7. Paid

The rules that decide what comes first

  • Licensed technician on every treatment
  • Re-treatment is free within 30 days if pests return
  • Wildlife jobs are quoted after an inspection

The price list it starts with

Inspection
Free
One time treatment
$150
Quarterly plan
$45/mo
Wildlife removal
Estimate

These are example figures, not our prices. They are what the configuration ships with so the screens are not empty on day one. You set your own.

Questions she is set up to answer

  • Is the inspection free?
  • What if pests come back?
  • Do you handle wildlife removal?

Vocabulary is treatment, plan, and re-treatment window; a licensed technician is on every job.

How you get it: tell us your trade and we set the configuration up with you during onboarding. See every trade's setup questions side by side.

How it differs

Config-backed. Pest control is licensed by FDACS under Chapter 482, not DBPR; all four categories shown are graded standard with citations.

Florida licensing classes

General household pest control

Pest control on any structure, not including fumigation or wood-destroying-organism work.

Fla. Stat. 482.111(2)(a); 482.021

Termites and other wood-destroying organisms

The WDO category, including the written inspection report and preventive treatment on new construction.

Fla. Stat. 482.111(2)(a)

Lawn and ornamental pest control

Turf and ornamental applications; the category a landscaper crosses into the moment a crew sprays a lawn.

Fla. Stat. 482.111(2)(a)

Fumigation

Whole-structure gas fumigation.

Fla. Stat. 482.111(2)(a)

The dashboard layout is shared across every trade. The build stages, job types, permits, and compliance rules below are generated from this trade's own config pack, so they are specific to Pest Control.

Job types

Initial general pest service service

Interior, exterior and perimeter on the first visit, then a recurring programme.

Recurring general pest service service

Exterior perimeter service on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly cadence. The churn driver is a missed visit or a technician the customer does not recognize; the retention driver is the same technician every time.

WDO / real-estate inspection service

One-time and transaction-driven. The realtor or lender orders it on a clock, the buyer is the customer, and turnaround plus a clean unmodified FDACS report is the product.

Subterranean termite liquid perimeter treatment service

A one-time treatment with an annual renewal behind it.

Termite baiting system install service

Bait and monitoring stations installed, then scheduled monitoring visits - colony elimination via bait rather than a barrier.

Drywood termite localized / spot treatment service

A one-time localized treatment where the infestation is confined and accessible.

Whole-structure tent fumigation service

Tarp, gas, aerate, clear. Rare, high-ticket, and a separate FDACS category with its own records.

Rodent exclusion service

Sealing the structure, one-time with follow-up. Driven by cooler weather pushing rodents indoors.

Mosquito service (barrier / misting) service

A short recurring route stop through the wet season.

Bed bug treatment (chemical or heat) service

Heat in a single long visit or chemical across multiple visits, with follow-up required and a customer preparation list that decides whether the job succeeds.

Lawn and ornamental programme service

A programme of rounds through the year, under a separate FDACS category from general household pest control.

New construction preventive termite treatment buildpermit

The pre-treat on a new build. The pest contractor is a scheduled trade with its own permit, coordinating with the slab pour - a construction milestone rather than a service call.

Permits

Permit triggers from the pack. The pack does not name the local permit or its filing window on purpose, so this page does not either. The building department confirms those.

    Permit required · Permit to perform preventive termite treatment on new construction · Fla. Stat. 482.0815

  • Guarantee, warranty, lifetime and money-back federal
