Pest Control Workflow

Pest control businesses need to document treatments, track recurring services, and provide proof of work to customers. Dingo Desk provides the tools to manage every aspect of your pest control operations.

The Challenge

Pest control professionals face:

Treatment documentation: Proving treatments were applied correctly
Recurring schedules: Regular treatments for ongoing prevention
Chemical tracking: Documenting what was used and where
Customer communication: Informing clients about treatments and findings
Compliance: Meeting industry regulations and safety standards

The Dingo Desk Solution

Step 1: Create Treatment Templates

Example Templates:

Standard Pest Treatment (Indoor)

Inspect kitchen and food storage areas
Treat baseboards and skirting boards
Apply gel bait to cockroach hotspots
Spray perimeter of all rooms
Document treatment areas with photos
Note any pest activity observed

Termite Inspection

Inspect exterior perimeter
Check sub-floor areas
Examine roof void
Look for mud tubes and damage
Moisture meter readings
Document findings with photos
Report termite activity level

Flea Treatment

Vacuum all carpeted areas
Apply flea treatment spray
Treat pet resting areas
Advise on post-treatment care
Schedule follow-up inspection

Step 2: Set Up Recurring Schedules

Pest control is often recurring work:

Quarterly: Standard pest prevention for residential
Monthly: Commercial kitchen pest management
Bi-monthly: Termite monitoring and bait station checks
Annual: Full property termite inspection

Step 3: Document Treatments

During each treatment visit:

Start the job timer
Work through the treatment checklist
Take photos of treatment areas
Record chemicals used and quantities
Note any pest activity observed
Complete the job
