Recurring service plans are where pest control businesses build predictable revenue. A one-time treatment is a $150-400 job. A quarterly plan is $600-1,200 per year from the same customer, every year. Contractors who convert inbound calls to annual agreements build a revenue base that compounds over time. The exclusive inbound call is the acquisition point; the recurring plan is where the real return on that call cost materializes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do exclusive pest control leads work?
Exclusive pest control leads are inbound phone calls from homeowners with active pest issues, delivered only to your company. You pay per qualified call over 60 seconds in your service area.
What pests generate the most service calls?
Termites, cockroaches, ants, rodents, bed bugs, and mosquitoes generate the highest call volumes. Termite calls carry the highest average ticket values in the pest control category.

Exclusive inbound pest calls close at 30-45% for initial service. Converting those customers to recurring quarterly plans runs 60-70% when the recurring plan is positioned on the first call.
