Job scheduling and route planning for pest control technicians
Pest control means balancing regular inspections with emergency callouts — cockroaches don't wait for your calendar. DayRoute helps you plan efficient routes between appointments, record treatments and chemicals per property, and invoice on completion. Built for solo pest techs and small teams across Australia.
Common challenges for pest control businesses
Emergency callouts break your planned schedule
A termite sighting means dropping everything. Without a flexible scheduling tool, the rest of your day falls apart.
Recording treatments per property is a compliance requirement
Regulators and commercial clients need records of what was applied, when, and where. Paper logbooks get lost in the van.
Driving between inspections burns profit
Residential pest jobs are short — 30 to 45 minutes. If you drive 40 minutes between them, you're losing money on every trip.
How DayRoute helps
Flexible scheduling with route re-optimisation
Slot in an emergency callout and DayRoute re-calculates your route. The rest of your day adjusts automatically.
Job notes for treatment records
Record chemicals used, bait station locations, and treatment areas per property. Notes carry over to repeat visits.
Vehicle logbook for tax
GPS trip recording logs every kilometre driven. Distinguish business and personal trips for ATO-compliant records.
Instant invoicing with line items
Invoice for inspection fees, treatment costs, and follow-up visits — all itemised with GST. Send via SMS or email immediately.
“When you're dealing with pests, timing matters. DayRoute lets me slot in emergency jobs without blowing up the rest of my schedule.”
