How do you run a business that does 60 jobs a week in July and five a week in January? Most Canadian operators face that swing every year. PestPro is built for the shape — recurring service plans across the ant and wasp seasons, season-aware route optimization, and a calendar that does not pretend the slow months are not happening. Free for your first 15 customers.
Spring: carpenter ant emergence, the season that pays for the year. Summer: wasps, hornets, yellowjackets through July and August. Fall: rodents moving indoors before the freeze. Year-round urban: bed bugs in apartment buildings. Wildlife — raccoons, squirrels, skunks — whenever the neighbours call.
