THE HOUSECALL PRO ALTERNATIVE
FOR PEST CONTROL OPERATORS
HouseCall Pro plans come with different user allowances. A pest control business handling initial treatments, follow-ups and route days can give every pest tech a login on ToolbagCRM without counting seats.
Keep customer records, individual visits, and invoices organized. Optional route and checklist plug-ins support the day; chemical compliance logs are not included.

A PEST CONTROL JOB,
CALL TO PAYMENT.
Pest control is a lot of driving. A tech covers a string of homes and businesses in one area, then a different area tomorrow. Many customers start with an initial treatment and need a follow-up a few weeks later.
At each stop the tech inspects, treats and notes what they found. Rodent jobs come back to check traps. Termite and bed bug work usually starts with an inspection and a quote before anyone treats.
The office wants to know every stop got done and every invoice went out. If a customer calls to say the ants are back, that visit should be easy to find.
WHAT FITS FROM TOOLBAGCRM
Build a tech's route for the day from scheduled visits, reorder stops by hand and mark them done.
Use the same inspection checklist on every visit and keep the answers with the job.
Log re-service trips linked to the earlier job, with the reason and the outcome.
Organize ZIP codes into named territories so the office knows which tech covers a new address.
Chemical application logs and recurring service contracts are not available. Keep required pesticide records in a separate system. Plug-ins need a standard slot.
THE HEADACHES EVERY
PEST CONTROL OWNER KNOWS.
State regulators want EPA reg numbers, application rates, and weather conditions per visit. Your tech's writing it on a clipboard.
200 customers on quarterly perimeter sprays. Some on monthly. Your route planning is six spreadsheets and a prayer.
States require 24-hour pre-notice for most sprays. Half your customers are confused about whether you came already.
ONE FLAT PRICE.

SWITCHING FROM HOUSECALL PRO?
Does ToolbagCRM provide chemical compliance logs?
No. Chemical Application Log is not available to new accounts. Keep the required pesticide and regulatory records in a suitable separate system.
Can I manage the day’s visits?
Yes. Core scheduling supports individual visits and team assignments. Route Planner and Dispatch Board are optional plug-ins. Recurring service contracts are not currently available to new accounts.
Is ToolbagCRM cheaper than Housecall Pro?
It depends on the package, team size, plug-ins, and payment volume. Compare the published prices or vendor quote against Free or the $150/month Founders base plan, plus any Free-plan plug-in slots, add-ons, and processing fees.
Does ToolbagCRM do everything Housecall Pro does?
No. Compare specific workflows before switching. ToolbagCRM provides core customers, jobs, scheduling, quotes, invoices, and payments, with optional active plug-ins. QuickBooks sync, recurring service plans, GPS, and two-way SMS conversations are not current capabilities.
SWITCH
THE EASY WAY.
Start with Free or choose Founders: first month free, then $150/mo base with unlimited standard plug-in slots. Optional add-ons and processing are separate. Unlimited users on both plans.
