Frequently Asked Questions
GorillaDesk vs Jobber for pest control?
GorillaDesk is purpose-built — recurring plans, route optimization, treatment history, and pesticide tracking are first-class. Jobber covers it generically and is cheaper. If 70%+ of your work is recurring pest plans, GorillaDesk pays off. Generalists doing pest plus lawn or handyman work → Jobber.
How should I price quarterly recurring service?
Discount 15-20% off the one-time treatment cost in exchange for the annual commitment. Auto-bill on credit card or ACH. Recurring contracts are 4-6x more valuable than one-time customers when you sell the business.
What's a healthy pest control margin?
Gross margin: 45-60% (chemicals + truck stocking are real costs). Net after overhead: 12-20%. The compounding value is the recurring book — a customer worth $480/yr × 5 years × LTV is the real number.
