This calculator vs. PestPac
Two different shapes: PestPac is an account-based platform for running a pest control company's whole operation, including scheduling and billing a route stop once it is priced. This page is a free, private worksheet for one question — what should this stop cost, before you offer it to the customer.
What each tool is for
PestPac, sold by WorkWave, is a field service management platform built specifically for pest control businesses, from single-truck operators to national multi-branch companies. It is used to run CRM and customer records, scheduling and routing, billing and payments, marketing, reporting, and a technician mobile app, tied to one account used on an ongoing paid basis across every stop the company runs. PestPac's own site is not reachable from this session to confirm today's specific feature list, plan names, or pricing, so only its well-documented identity and category are stated here: nothing about it is invented, and no dollar figure for it appears on this page. Public descriptions of that scheduling and billing software describe running, routing and invoicing a stop once its scope and price already exist; none describe working out what a new stop should cost from station counts, on-site minutes and drive time before you quote it — which is the one thing this calculator does.
This calculator does none of what PestPac does. It does not store a customer record, build a route across a season, or invoice anyone. It takes one stop's services — each one's on-site minutes, its rodent or insect station count, and its material cost — plus one-way drive time, service frequency, technician wage, payroll burden, vehicle cost, overhead and target margin, and turns that into the initial invoice, the recurring invoice, the hourly rate once drive time is inside it, the walk-away recurring price, and how many later visits it takes to recover a waived initial — plus, if you already have a number on the table, a check of whether it clears your own break-even floor, and a printable customer proposal. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I need to store customer records, build routes, and bill customers for pest control stops across my whole business. | PestPac, or a comparable field service platform — running that ongoing operation is not something this calculator does. |
| What should I charge for this stop, given its stations, on-site minutes, drive time, and my wage, burden and overhead? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| How much does a 22-minute drive really cost me on a stop that looks fine priced per visit? | This calculator's hourly rate with drive included. |
| Should I waive the initial treatment to win the house? | This calculator's recovery count — how many recurring visits it takes to earn the free initial back. |
| I already have stops priced and need to route, bill and renew them across many customers, on a schedule, over a season. | PestPac — built as an ongoing, account-based platform for exactly that job. |
| How does the math behind a per-stop pest control price actually work? | This calculator's own pricing walkthrough. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | This calculator: no. PestPac's tools are used through a paid account. |
Most pest control businesses get different value from each: PestPac (or a comparable field service platform) for running customers, routes and billing across an ongoing business as an account, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login answer to what a new stop should cost before it is offered. This page's own figures are a pricing model, not a signed proposal, an invoice, or a treatment guarantee.
This tool needs no account and no sign-in: it is a static page, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and once it has loaded it keeps working with the connection off.
Common questions
Should I use this calculator or PestPac?
They do different jobs, and a pest control company of any size will likely end up touching both. PestPac is a field service management platform built for pest control businesses and sold by WorkWave as an ongoing subscription, used to run CRM and customer records, scheduling and routing, billing and payments, marketing, and a technician mobile app across a whole operation. This calculator does one narrower thing: it takes a route stop's services, each one's on-site minutes, rodent and insect station counts and material cost, plus one-way drive time, technician wage, payroll burden, vehicle cost, overhead and target margin, and turns that into the initial invoice, the recurring invoice, the hourly rate once drive time is inside it, and how many later visits it takes to recover a waived initial, before you have quoted anything. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type. A company already scheduling routes and billing customers across many stops is better served by PestPac or a comparable field service platform; an operator who needs an instant, private answer to what one stop should cost before it is offered is in the right place here.
