In the dynamic world of pest control, your team of dedicated pest controllers is your most valuable asset. From tackling common household invaders like rodents and cockroaches to managing complex infestations with specialised treatments, your workforce is on the front lines—ensuring public health, protecting property, and maintaining environmental balance.
But effectively managing these mobile, skilled professionals—deploying them to the right place at the right time with the right tools and information—can be a major challenge.
Are you wasting hours on manual processes and drowning in paperwork?
At BORIS Software, we understand the day-to-day struggles of pest control companies. That’s why our robust workforce management solution is built specifically to help you cut through the chaos and run smarter, more efficient operations.
What Is Workforce Management in Pest Control?
Workforce management (WFM) refers to the systems and processes that ensure the right people are in the right places at the right times—maximising productivity and reducing operational risk.
In pest control, this means making sure that when a call comes in, you can quickly identify, dispatch, and support the most appropriate operative for the job. It’s about managing timesheets, holidays, expenses, and clock-ins—while optimising job scheduling and deployment for your field-based teams.
The pest control industry has unique demands. Your operatives handle pests ranging from rats and mice to bed bugs, wasps, and insects—each requiring tailored methods such as physical removal, chemical treatments, biological solutions, or a full Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. This complexity demands a workforce management system that supports specialist skills, ensures safety, and streamlines operations.
The Challenges Facing Pest Control Teams Today
Traditional methods of managing pest control teams often result in inefficiencies and increased risk:
- Complex Deployment
Matching the right technician to the right job based on specialism or proximity. - Information Overload
Operatives need immediate access to procedures, equipment manuals, and product safety data. - Compliance & Safety
Chemical use requires careful control. Lone worker monitoring and regular toolbox talks are essential. - Real-Time Reporting
Manual reporting can delay updates, reduce accuracy, and hinder client trust. - Administrative Burden
Managing mobile teams’ timesheets, holiday requests, and expenses is time-consuming and error-prone. - Onboarding & Training
Rapidly bringing on new staff and keeping training records current is a constant challenge.
