The Pest Control Fix Kit
Built for pest control company owners and technicians.
Pest control is fundamentally a subscription business — an NPMA industry survey puts recurring revenue at 85.4% of residential service revenue in 2025 — which means every leak in this trade doesn't happen once, it repeats every service cycle for as long as the account stays on the books. This kit finds where the money leaks in your own work and gives you the steps and the words to close each one.

The 6 leaks it covers
3 you can close it · 1 the other side owes it · 2 a pro decides
- Applicator certification categories and renewal cycles not tracked per technicianWhere to look first: List every technician and the certification or registration each one holds, with category and expiration date.Keep it from coming back: Add every new tech's certification dates to the calendar on their first day. Check the list before scheduling a service type.You can close it
- Recurring-account leaks repeat every cycle (unapplied increases, unbilled callbacks)Where to look first: Pull your recurring account list with each account's current price, the date of its last price change, and its callbacks in the last year.Keep it from coming back: Put each account's increase date on the calendar when it signs. Review callbacks by cause every month.You can close it
- Label is the law — any gap between use and label (regulatory line, not a pricing leak)Where to look first: This one isn't about money we can fix, and LeakReceipts never speaks to application rates, product choice or treatment. That's the label's and your licensed applicator's job.Keep it from coming back: Label on the truck and record filled in before leaving — every service.You can close it
- Recurring leaks get priced into the value of the book (business-value multiple)Where to look first: Once a quarter, pull three numbers from your own records: recurring accounts, how many are on their current allowed price, and callbacks per account.Keep it from coming back: Run the three-number review every quarter, not just when you're thinking of selling.The other side owes it
- Self-employment tax not budgeted through the year (structural)Where to look first: This isn't a leak to recover — it's part of owning the business. What stops the spring surprise: Open a separate tax account.Keep it from coming back: Move the tax share the day you're paid.A pro decides
- Recurring-contract renewal and cancellation language not rechecked since the rules changedWhere to look first: Pull your current recurring service agreement — the one new customers sign.Keep it from coming back: Have the agreement checked against current renewal and cancellation law once a year and whenever you start selling in a new state.A pro decides

No sign-up, no email. Here is leak 1 of 6 exactly as it appears in the kit, so you can see what you get before you buy.
Applicator certification categories and renewal cycles not tracked per technician
You can close it- List every technician and the certification or registration each one holds, with category and expiration date.
- Check your state's pest control licensing agency (usually the state department of agriculture or lead pesticide agency) for which categories your services need and the renewal and continuing-education rules.
- Put each expiration date and CE deadline on the calendar with a reminder well ahead.
- Make sure any non-certified tech applying under supervision has their training on file as your state requires.
- Don't send a tech to a service type outside their category.
Your part: Make sure each tech renews and completes CE, and keep the records.
Email to your state pest control licensing office: Subject: Certification categories and renewal requirements — [YOUR COMPANY], License [LICENSE #] Hello, I operate [YOUR COMPANY], license [LICENSE #], providing [residential general pest / termite / fumigation / OTHER] services. Could you confirm: 1) which certification categories my technicians need for those services, 2) the renewal cycle and continuing-education requirements for each, and 3) the training and supervision requirements for non-certified technicians applying under a certified applicator? Thank you, [YOUR NAME] [PHONE]
Add every new tech's certification dates to the calendar on their first day. Check the list before scheduling a service type.
What this kit can't decide for you: Which categories and renewal rules apply is set by your state's certification plan; we don't state them. 'Usually the state department of agriculture' is a general statement — some states use a different agency.
That's 1 of 6. The other 5 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.

Questions people ask
Where do recurring pest control accounts leak?
Price increases never applied and callbacks never billed, every cycle. The kit shows how to find them.
Are my techs' applicator certifications current?
Track categories and renewal cycles per technician. The kit shows how.
Do leaks affect what my book is worth?
Yes. Recurring leaks get priced into the value of the book. The kit explains it.
What it can't decide for you
This kit works from your own records. It doesn't give legal, tax, licensing or financial advice, and it never tells you what to charge. Where a CPA, attorney, insurer or state board makes the call, the kit says so and gets your records ready for them.
