Pest control routes grow on systems, not luck
Pest control is a recurring-route business: the money is in density and retention. Sherpa runs the systems that pack your routes and stop quiet cancellations.
How Pest Control actually works
Pest control is a route business: the money is in recurring quarterly and monthly accounts, and profit lives in route density and retention. Demand spikes by season (ants in spring, mosquitoes all summer, rodents when it turns cold), and commercial accounts like restaurants buy on audit and compliance pressure. It breaks when spike-season calls hit voicemail, one-time jobs never convert to plans, and accounts cancel without a save attempt.
