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.
