Pest control software in 2026: seven products sorted by the companies they fit

Pest control software has three jobs beyond a basic calendar: logging every product a technician applies, running dense recurring routes, and turning a one-time bug call into a service agreement that bills itself. Some products below were built for pest (and often lawn) companies, and GorillaDesk sells to pest and other route businesses with pest tools in its plans. Others are general field-service tools that also market to pest companies. Every price, feature and term here comes from the vendor's own website, read in October 2026. The order runs roughly from the smallest operations to the largest, and the numbers are not a ranking. If you are still deciding what a CRM should do for you at all, read what a CRM is for a service business first.

1. GorillaDesk

• Who it suits: owner-operators and route companies that want published per-route prices. GorillaDesk sells to pest and wildlife, lawn, cleaning, pool and other service businesses, and its pricing FAQ lets monthly subscribers freeze the account if the business is seasonal.
• Pricing: per route, which means per technician schedule (a crew riding together needs one). As listed in October 2026 on its pricing page, a single route runs $49 monthly (Basic), $99 (Pro) or $149 (Growth). Paid yearly, the same three plans cost $539, $1,089 and $1,639 per route. Users without a schedule are free. Texting is $5 a month plus prepaid message credits.
• Pest features: Basic includes material tracking and reporting for chemical use records, and routing capped at 25 stops at a time. Pro adds barcode scanning for traps and devices with trend reporting, multi-dwelling units, a customer portal, online booking, Stripe and Square subscription billing, and Drive Matrix routing on real street drive times.
• Trial and terms: GorillaDesk lets you try it for 14 days without entering a card. The FAQ says plans carry no contracts or setup fees. A yearly plan is charged in full when it starts.
• Ask in the demo: scan a bait station from a technician's phone, then print the chemical report and compare it line by line with what your state wants kept. If a busy day runs past 25 stops, ask how Pro's Drive Matrix routing handles it.

Our GorillaDesk alternative page walks through each plan in more detail.

2. Pocomos

• Who it suits: pest companies that want the bill tied to customer count, including those that grow by knocking doors. Its smallest tier is sized for a company with 20 or fewer active customers, and it sells a separate door-to-door plan.
• Pricing: by active customers. As listed in October 2026 on the Pocomos pricing page: $99 a month for 0 to 20 active customers, $159 for 21 to 50, $209 for 50 to 300 and $275 for 300 to 500. Enterprise (500 or more) and the door-to-door plan are quoted on request.
• Pest features: route optimization, and a door-to-door sales module with territories assigned per rep, estimates and e-signed contracts on the rep's device, lead tracking, commission tracking and leaderboards.
• Trial and terms: the door-to-door page invites you to schedule a free demo or start a trial. We found no trial length, contract terms or setup fees on the pricing page.
• Ask in the demo: what counts as an active customer, whether a mosquito account counts over the winter, and how the bill changes when you cross a tier mid-season. Watch a technician log products and amounts on a stop.

If summer sales crews drive your growth, our guide to tracking door-to-door sales covers what to measure whichever software you pick.

3. Jobber

• Who it suits: new or small pest companies, and companies where pest is one service among several, that want quotes, invoices and a client hub in one app. Jobber serves many home-service trades, and its pest control page says it offers plans for solo operators, small businesses and growing pest control teams.
• Pricing: by plan and team size. As listed in October 2026 on its pricing page, for one user: Core $29 a month, Connect $99 and Grow $149 when billed yearly ($49, $139 and $199 month to month). Team prices change with headcount, so price your actual crew on the live page.
• Pest features: the pest page lists monthly, quarterly and seasonal recurring jobs and chemical tracking with applicator license numbers. The help article on chemical tracking, last updated April 2024, says it comes on select plans and is recorded from the web, with no chemical tracking in the mobile app. The pricing page lists route optimization on Grow and the plan above it.
• Trial and terms: a 14-day trial with access to Grow features, and no card is needed to start.
• Ask in the demo: whether a technician can now record a treatment from the phone at the stop, and which plan you need for chemical tracking.

4. Housecall Pro

• Who it suits: pest teams that want online booking, consumer financing and review requests in the same app as scheduling. Housecall Pro is built for home-service businesses, and its pest page says its pricing fits pest control teams of 1 to 100+.
• Pricing: by plan, with users included. As listed in October 2026 on its pricing page: Basic $59 a month (1 user), Essentials $149 (5 users) and MAX $299 with 8 users and $35 a month for each additional user, all billed yearly. Month to month, the three cost $79, $189 and $329.
• Pest features: the pest page covers one-time and recurring jobs, dispatch routes and a price book. On the pricing page, Essentials adds route grouping and checklist automations, while Recurring Service Plans (maintenance agreements) and route optimization are listed under MAX.
• Trial and terms: a 14-day trial on MAX features with no card required. The FAQ says there are no long-term contracts.
• Ask in the demo: price MAX if quarterly agreements carry your business. Ask to see a technician record product, amount and target pest on a visit, and how that history exports.

5. Briostack

• Who it suits: pest control companies and combined pest and lawn companies. Briostack says it was founded by the CEO of a pest control company.
• Pricing: no public prices. The site's call to action is a demo request.
• Pest features: the pest page lists chemical usage reporting, bids and treatment diagrams drawn on high-resolution satellite images, and a pricing calculator for square-foot or flat-rate quotes. Its FAQ mentions barcode scanning and commercial accounts. The homepage adds sales territory management and a technician app that works without data connectivity. The site also lists direct mail, a marketing add-on called Playbooks and an AI answering service.
• Trial and terms: not listed on the pages we read.
• Ask in the demo: a written quote covering every add-on you would use, plus onboarding cost and contract length. Put a phone in airplane mode and finish a stop.

6. FieldRoutes

• Who it suits: pest and lawn companies that plan to grow, including those with sales teams. FieldRoutes says it serves companies from start-ups to large enterprises, and ServiceTitan's own pest control page now forwards visitors to FieldRoutes.
• Pricing: two packages, Growth ("Ideal for Small Businesses") and Corporate ("Perfect for Scaling"), each marked "Request Pricing" on the FieldRoutes pricing page. Its FAQ says the monthly subscription is based on the number of active customers.
• Pest features: both packages check route optimization, a technician app, automated reminders, lead management, a customer payment portal, real-time reporting and Sentricon. Mobile sales tools, commercial trend reporting and a premium API are checked only on Corporate. The pest page adds AutoPay, scheduling automation for ongoing contracts, commercial and multi-unit support, QuickBooks Online integration, NPMA-33 access alongside Sentricon, and WDO inspection reporting for California Branch 3. It also offers Marketing Pro and Fleet Pro from ServiceTitan.
• Trial and terms: no free trial. The FAQ cites the software's "highly customizable nature" and offers a free demo instead. Contract terms are not on the page.
• Ask in the demo: the active-customer price bands for each package in writing, whether your sales reps need Corporate for its mobile sales tools, how a paused seasonal account is counted, implementation time and cost, and whether Marketing Pro and Fleet Pro are priced separately.

7. PestPac by WorkWave

• Who it suits: companies with commercial accounts, termite work and several branches. Its homepage is written for enterprise pest control, though the pricing page also offers a Small Business tier.
• Pricing: three tiers, Small Business, Professional and Enterprise, with no prices shown. The PestPac pricing page asks you to speak with a consultant about packages.
• Pest features: Small Business includes termite inspection, basic routing, a mobile app and a customer portal. Professional adds IPM and multi-unit support, digital forms and a logbook. Enterprise adds multi-branch, auditor reports and API integrations. The commercial page lists auditor-only access, bait station scanning, floor plans for locating devices, WDI, WDO and NPMA-33 forms on mobile, automatic Sentricon reports, and smart traps read over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
• Trial and terms: not listed on the pricing page; the site offers demos.
• Ask in the demo: which tier gives a food plant's auditor the access it needs, the full first-year cost including setup, and how long rollout takes for a company your size.

8. A custom CRM

Packaged software fits most pest companies. A custom build fits a narrower group, and it helps to be plain about which group that is.

• When it fits: you run more than one service line or brand, such as pest plus lawn, with separate price lists and payment accounts. Customers pick a plan on your website and you want that one click to open the agreement, bill it and schedule visit one on the right route, with nobody retyping anything. Your sales or renewal process matches no product's workflow, or your office keeps spreadsheets and side apps to cover gaps.
• When it doesn't: you are starting out, your work is standard residential quarterly service, or you serve audited commercial accounts. PestPac lists auditor access and termite and state-specific inspection forms, both it and FieldRoutes list Sentricon, and rebuilding that kind of integration is slow and expensive.
• Pricing model: a build paid for up front, then hosting and upkeep. Scope sets the cost.
• Tradeoffs: weeks of build time, hours of your attention explaining how routes and renewals work, and someone responsible for keeping card processing and texting current.

After packaged software stopped matching how our own service companies work, we built them a CRM of their own. Our custom CRM service explains how a build is scoped, and signs you outgrew your CRM helps you judge whether you are there yet. How plans bill matters as much as how routes run, and our guide to recurring service billing covers that side.

Pest control software compared

Prices below are as listed in October 2026 and exclude card processing, texting and add-ons.

How to choose pest control software

1. Sort your revenue first. Split last year's sales into residential recurring, commercial accounts with audits, termite and WDO work, and one-time calls. A company that is mostly commercial and termite work should start with platforms whose own pages list those tools, such as PestPac (auditor access, NPMA-33 forms) and FieldRoutes (Sentricon, California WDO reporting). A residential route company can look harder at GorillaDesk, Pocomos, Housecall Pro or Jobber.
2. Price it at your size two years from now. Use each vendor's own unit: routes for GorillaDesk, active customers for Pocomos and FieldRoutes, plan and users for Jobber and Housecall Pro. Because each vendor charges by a different unit, the product that costs least at three trucks may not cost least at eight. Route density matters as much as the software, and our route optimization guide explains what the routing features actually do.
3. Test the paperwork. In each state, one agency works with the EPA to enforce pesticide rules, and the National Pesticide Information Center lists them. Ask yours what an application record must include, then make every demo produce that report. This is general information, not legal advice.
4. Plan for winter and for leaving. Ask about freezing or downgrading off-season, annual prepayment, and how to export customers, agreements and treatment history. Our guide to switching without losing data lists what to pull out first.
5. Add up the extras. Texting, card processing, marketing add-ons, fleet tracking and answering services often sit outside the plan price.

Where to start

Three moves for this week:

1. Write down your account mix and the fields your state requires on an application record.
2. Shortlist the two or three rows above whose billing unit fits how you plan to grow, and run one real route, with real addresses and products, through each trial or demo.
3. Check whether software is really your bottleneck. A CRM organizes the customers you already have; it does not make the phone ring. The free system quote we offer looks at your website, Google presence, phones and lead spend and shows what to fix first, and the pest control industry page lays out what we build for the trade: site, phones and CRM.
