What a pest control company needs, and where it sits in Jobber

Pest control is a plan business, and plans are lost quietly when a visit never gets booked. Quarterly customers slip because nobody called: that is the problem software has to fix. Jobber lists pest control among its industries; here is where each thing pest control companies rely on sits in its plans.

From Jobber pricing, checked October 8, 2026. A cell names the lowest plan that lists the feature; "Not listed" means we did not see it, so ask. Jobber's pricing page blocks a plain fetch and changes its prices with a team size picker, so we read it in a real browser. The $29 a month per added user is in the note behind each plan's user count. Prices are per month in US dollars and change often, so check the page before you buy.

Worked example: a quarterly home plan

A quarterly home plan: 45 minutes on site, 20 minutes of driving, $15 of product a visit, on the free maintenance plan pricing calculator, comes to $250 a year ($20.83 a month, 4 visits).

StepThe math
Labor per visit(0.75 on site + 0.33 driving) × $24.00 = $25.92
Cost per visit$25.92 + $15.00 parts = $40.92
Repair discount0% off $0 of repairs = $0.00
Cost per member a year4 × $40.92 + $0.00 = $163.68
Price$163.68 ÷ (1 − 15% overhead − 20% profit) = $251.82, quoted as $250
Members one tech can serve1,500 hrs ÷ 4.32 hrs per member = 347

At $250 a member a year, it takes about 5 plan members to pay for a year of Jobber Connect ($1,188). Koira Front Office ($5,988 a year) takes about 24.
