Where PestPro CRM Has the Edge

Built for pest, not field-service-in-general

WorkWave is a corporate portfolio of field-service products serving plumbing, HVAC, lawn care, and pest control. The pest workflows are workflows-for-everyone with pest-flavored field names. PestPro is built around pest-specific concepts — target pest, chemical product, EPA reg number, treatment protocol, recurring service plan — as first-class data, not custom fields.

No fleet management overhead

WorkWave's fleet/GPS layer is powerful if you need vehicle visibility. If you do not, that surface area still has to be set up, learned, and paid for. PestPro skips the fleet layer entirely — your schedule is your customers and your routes, not your vehicles.

Set up today, not in six weeks

WorkWave onboarding is typically a multi-week implementation with a customer success team. PestPro is self-serve — sign up, import your customers from CSV, and start scheduling the same afternoon.

Who Might Still Prefer WorkWave

WorkWave is the right answer for a specific shape of business:

  • You run multiple field-service verticals under one company (pest control + lawn care, for example)
  • You operate a fleet large enough that vehicle visibility / GPS routing materially changes your day
  • You have dedicated dispatch and admin staff who can absorb a multi-week onboarding

If pest control is your only business and you do not need enterprise fleet tooling, PestPro fits better.

Pest control software that fits your business, not the other way around.

PestPro CRM is built for one job: helping pest control operators run their day. Free for your first 15 customers, $47/month after that.
