Pest control software built around the recurring visit

Quarterly treatment schedules, service agreements that bill on their own cycle, and per-visit checklists with photo proof. Built for residential and commercial pest control operators running general pest, termite, and seasonal programs.

The problems pest control companies know too well

A pest control business runs on hundreds of small recurring commitments. When those live in spreadsheets and memory, accounts quietly fall behind.

Quarterly accounts slip

A quarterly visit that gets missed is a customer you might not hear from again until they cancel. Tracking hundreds of due dates by hand does not scale.

Spring surge chaos

When ant and mosquito season hits, the schedule fills fast. Without conflict detection, double-bookings and overloaded days follow.

No proof of service

When a customer asks what was actually done last visit, "the tech was there" is not an answer. You need the checklist and the photos.

Station records on paper

Termite bait stations installed years ago live on index cards and in one technician’s memory. When that tech leaves, the history leaves too.

Billing out of sync with the plan

Monthly-billed plans with quarterly visits mean the invoice schedule and the service schedule never line up. Reconciling them by hand invites mistakes.

"When is my next treatment?"

Every customer who calls to ask about their next visit, their last invoice, or a reschedule pulls your office off real work.

Recurring Treatments

Bill monthly, treat quarterly — without spreadsheet math

Most pest control plans bill on one rhythm and service on another. Pillar service agreements keep the two separate: set the billing cycle for the money and the job frequency for the visits, and the system generates each treatment on schedule.

Visit frequency, set per plan

Monthly, bi-weekly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual job frequency on each service agreement. The right cadence for general pest, mosquito, or termite monitoring.

Billing on its own cycle

Bill monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually through Stripe — independent of how often you visit. Auto-renewal supported.

Jobs created automatically

Treatments appear on the calendar from the recurrence rule, with configurable lead time so the office can review assignments first.

Seasonal start and end dates

Recurring schedules support an optional end date, so a March-to-October mosquito program stops generating jobs when the season ends.

Treatment Protocols

Every visit follows the same protocol

Build a checklist for each service type — quarterly general pest, termite inspection, rodent exclusion — and attach it to every appointment. Technicians work through it on their phone, and the office sees progress without a single phone call.

Templates per service type

Build one checklist per program — quarterly general pest, termite inspection, rodent exclusion — and it attaches to every appointment of that type.

Photo requirements on key steps

Flag steps that require a photo before they can be marked complete. Entry points, activity evidence, and station conditions get documented every time.

Real-time progress from the office

Dispatchers see checklist completion as it happens — no calling the tech to ask whether the perimeter got treated.

Comments per step

Technicians leave notes on individual items: new activity found, access problems, recommendations for the next visit.

Pest control business software that covers the whole operation

Scheduling, agreements, documentation, and billing in one system — so the office and the field work from the same record.

Scheduling with conflict detection

Month, week, and day calendar views with drag-and-drop rescheduling. The system flags overlapping appointments before they become a problem on a packed spring day.

Service agreements

Recurring plans with decoupled billing and visit frequency, auto-renewal, and Stripe-automated recurring billing. MRR tracking shows what your plan base is worth.

Good-better-best treatment plans

Price book items support tiered pricing options with feature highlights, so a quote can present a basic, standard, and premium program side by side.

Photo documentation

Before-and-after photos attach to the job — entry points, infestation evidence, completed work. The record stays with the customer, not on a tech’s phone.

Station and system tracking

Installed bait stations and systems tracked as equipment records with install dates, warranty windows, and full service history per unit.

SMS appointment reminders

Customers get a text before the visit, with opt-out and consent tracking built in. Fewer locked gates and not-home no-shows.

Installed Stations & Systems

A record for every bait station you put in the ground

Termite bait stations, monitoring stations, and exclusion installs are long-lived assets at the customer's property. Pillar tracks each one as an equipment record — so the next technician knows what is installed, where, and when it was last checked.

Per-unit records

Manufacturer, model, serial number, install date, and notes on every station or system.

Service history

Every inspection and service logged per unit — what was done, by whom, and what was found.

Warranty tracking

Warranty expiration dates with dashboard alerts before coverage runs out.

Auto-created from the price book

Selling a station install can create the equipment record automatically when the job completes.

How pest control companies use Pillar

From the first inspection to years of recurring service, every step stays on one record.

1

Quote the program

Send an estimate with tiered plan options. The customer reviews and approves online with an e-signature — no login required.

2

Set the schedule

Create the service agreement with its billing cycle and visit frequency. Treatments generate on the calendar automatically.

3

Treat and document

The technician follows the checklist on their phone, takes required photos, and logs station service before leaving the property.

4

Bill on your cycle

Agreement billing runs through Stripe on its own schedule. One-off jobs invoice directly, and customers pay online.

Customer Portal

Customers see their treatment history without calling you

“When was my last service?” and “When is the next one?” are answered in the portal, not on your office line. Customers log in under your brand to view visits, pay invoices, and request schedule changes.

Visit and service history

Customers see past jobs and upcoming appointments, including service history on installed stations and systems.

Online payments

Invoices paid through Stripe with saved payment methods. Plan customers never chase a paper bill.

Reschedule requests

Customers submit up to three preferred dates when they need to move a visit. You approve from your end.

Your brand throughout

Your logo, your colors, your subdomain. The portal looks like your company, not a third-party tool.

Frequently asked questions

Does Pillar handle quarterly pest control schedules?
Yes. Service agreements support quarterly, monthly, bi-weekly, semi-annual, and annual visit frequencies, and recurring jobs generate on the calendar automatically from the schedule you set. Seasonal programs can have an end date, so a spring-to-fall mosquito plan stops generating visits when the season is over.
Can I bill monthly but service quarterly?
Yes. Pillar separates the billing cycle from the visit frequency on every service agreement. A plan can bill monthly through Stripe while generating one treatment visit per quarter — no spreadsheet reconciliation between the invoice schedule and the service schedule.
Can customers see their treatment history?
Yes. The customer portal shows past jobs, upcoming appointments, invoices, and service history on installed equipment like bait stations. Customers can also pay invoices online and submit reschedule requests, all under your company branding.
How much does pest control software cost?
Pillar Pro is $99/month and Enterprise is $199/month, each including one user, with additional users at $49 and $69 per month respectively. Annual billing saves roughly 20%. Every new account starts with a 14-day free trial of the Enterprise plan, and there are no setup fees or long-term contracts.
Can I track termite bait stations in Pillar?
Yes. Each station or installed system becomes an equipment record on the customer account, with manufacturer, model, serial number, install date, warranty expiration, and a full service history showing every inspection and what was found. Price book items can even create the equipment record automatically when an install job completes.
