Question 1

What is pest control software?

Accepted Answer

Pest control software helps exterminators and pest pros run the business side of the work: estimates, scheduling, recurring service plans, clients, invoicing, and payments, from one place instead of paper and disconnected apps. The best tools are built for the truck, not the office. With Tofu you quote, book the next visit, invoice, and get paid right from your phone, even offline.

Question 2

How do I price a pest control job?

Accepted Answer

Most pest pros price the initial treatment separately from the ongoing plan: the first visit covers the inspection and a heavier treatment, then monthly or quarterly visits keep it under control. Price by pest, home size, and how often you come back, and add one-time jobs like rodent exclusion or termite inspections as their own lines. Save those services and plans in your Tofu Price Book and pull them into every estimate.

Question 3

How do I schedule recurring pest control visits?

Accepted Answer

Set the schedule once and Tofu books every visit for you: weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. For quarterly plans, put the next visit on the calendar before you leave the driveway. Each visit is editable on its own, so you can move one appointment or swap the tech without touching the rest of the plan.

Question 4

How do I invoice for a pest control job?

Accepted Answer

Send the invoice the moment the treatment is done instead of billing at month end. With Tofu the approved estimate becomes an invoice with no retyping, and for recurring plans Tofu drafts the invoice for you, one per visit or one a month, so you review and send it in a tap.

Question 5

How do I get paid faster on pest control jobs?

Accepted Answer

Take payment before you leave. Send a secure payment link by text or email, or take a card on site, and customers pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Zelle. Tofu shows you who paid and who still owes, and a quick reminder with a fresh link handles the follow-up without an awkward call.

Question 6

Can I record which products I applied on a job?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Write the product, dilution, and where you applied it in the job notes or the line item details, and it stays with that visit and that property. Tofu doesn't generate state pesticide-use logs or WDI reports, so keep those in the format your state requires and use Tofu for the job, the client, and the money.

Question 7

How do I keep track of what was treated at each property?

Accepted Answer

Give every client a profile with their properties, visit history, photos, and notes. When a callback comes in, you see what you treated last time and what you charged before you pick up the phone. Tofu keeps every visit, estimate, and invoice under the client, one house or a whole route of them.

Question 8

How do I prove the tech showed up for a scheduled service?

Accepted Answer

Every start and complete in the Tofu Team app carries a GPS point and a timestamp, and your techs attach photos of bait stations and treated areas to the visit. When a property manager asks whether Tuesday's service happened, open the job and show them.

Question 9

How do I manage pest control jobs with no cell signal?

Accepted Answer

Crawl spaces, basements, and back-of-house kitchens kill the signal right when you need to write things down. With Tofu you draft estimates and invoices fully offline, and everything syncs the moment you're back online, so a dead zone never stops you from quoting or billing.

Question 10

Is there an app for pest control technicians?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You run the business from the Tofu Field Service app on iPhone or on the web, and your techs use the Tofu Team app on their visits: they see the day's visits and notes, start and complete each one, and attach photos. No training required, and the first estimate goes out in about fifteen minutes.

Question 11

Does pest control software handle commercial accounts like restaurants and property managers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Commercial accounts run on the same monthly plans, with a client profile per property, a visit history the manager can ask about, and invoices you send per visit or once a month. Photos and GPS-stamped visits give you the proof when a tenant says nobody came.

Question 12

Can Tofu replace PestPac, FieldRoutes, GorillaDesk, or Jobber for my pest control business?

Accepted Answer

If those tools feel too heavy or too expensive for how you actually work, Tofu covers the core a pest control business needs every day: estimates, recurring visits, clients, invoicing, payments, and proof from every visit, all from your phone. It skips route optimization, marketing automation, and state compliance reports and keeps the essentials growing crews use daily. Most pest pros switch from clunky software, QuickBooks, or pen and paper and send their first estimate within fifteen minutes.
