Pest control in Florida is a different animal. You are not shutting down for the winter. You are running quarterly routes in January, mosquito treatments in March, and termite bond renewals while the rest of the country is still defrosting. The software you pick needs to handle that 12-month calendar, plus a few things that just do not apply anywhere else: WDO inspection reports for real estate closings, termite bond management, and separate service lines for lawn, ornamental, and mosquito work that often run alongside general pest.
General field service software like Housecall Pro or Jobber will do scheduling and invoicing just fine. But they were not built for pest control. They do not generate a Florida WDO inspection report (Form 13645). They do not track termite bond renewals. They do not handle the chemical usage logs your techs need to keep for FDACS compliance. Here are five platforms that were actually built for pest control operators, with the Florida angle on each.
| Software | Starting Price | Best For | Free Trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| PestPac | ~$125/user/month | Multi-branch, 10+ tech operations | Demo only |
| FieldRoutes | ~$99/user/month | Route-heavy residential, 3-20 techs | Demo only |
| Briostack | ~$79/user/month | Mid-size operators replacing PestPac | Demo only |
| GorillaDesk | $49/month | Solo to 3-tech shops, simple needs | 14 days |
| Pocomos | ~$69/month | Solo operators, AI-assisted routing | 14 days |
In Florida, nearly every real estate transaction requires a Wood Destroying Organism inspection. The report uses the state's Form 13645, and it is non-negotiable. Your software should generate these reports already filled out with customer info, property address, and findings. PestPac and Briostack have native WDO report generation. GorillaDesk does not, so you are manually filling out PDFs or using a third-party form filler. If your company does even a handful of real estate WDO inspections per month, that manual process eats hours. Make WDO report support a dealbreaker on your checklist.
Termite bonds are the backbone of a Florida pest control company's recurring revenue. You sell a treatment, then collect an annual renewal fee to keep the bond active and come back for re-inspections. The software needs to track bond status, auto-generate renewal notices, and tie the bond to the property so a new service manager can see the full history at a glance. If your current system treats a termite bond renewal like any other recurring invoice, you are missing the part that makes pest control software different from generic field service software.
In most of the country, pest control has a busy season and a slow season. Florida has two busy seasons. You are routing techs through neighborhoods with quarterly, bi-monthly, and monthly service plans, plus one-off calls, all 12 months of the year. Software built for seasonal trades will struggle with this. FieldRoutes has the strongest route optimization in the group, built specifically for the density of residential pest routes you see in Florida suburbs and condo communities.
Many Florida pest companies run mosquito control as a separate service line from general pest, often with its own pricing, its own season (March through October), and its own chemical application records. Lawn and ornamental is another common add-on. Your software should let you run multiple service types under one account, route them together when a single tech handles both, or split them onto separate schedules when you have dedicated crews. Briostack handles multi-line operations cleanly. PestPac does too, but the setup is more involved.
FDACS requires detailed records of pesticide applications: what you used, where, how much, and by whom. Pest control software should capture this at the job level and store it in a way that survives an audit. PestPac and Briostack have this built in. With a general tool like Jobber, your techs are writing it in job notes, and you better hope nobody from the state ever asks to see six months of records in one place.
PestPac, owned by WorkWave, is the biggest name in pest control software for a reason. It does everything: WDO reports, termite bonds, chemical tracking, multi-branch routing, mobile app, QuickBooks integration, and a customer portal. The tradeoff is cost and complexity. Pricing runs roughly $125 per user per month, and implementation can take weeks. For a Florida operator with multiple offices and 15 or more techs, PestPac is the safe pick. For a 3-truck shop in Tampa or a solo operator in the Panhandle, it is overkill.
FieldRoutes, formerly PestRoutes, is the strongest platform for route-heavy residential operations. If most of your revenue comes from recurring quarterly pest services through suburban neighborhoods in Orlando, Jacksonville, or South Florida, the routing engine here is genuinely better than PestPac. It optimizes for minimum drive time and maximum stops per day. It also handles service agreements, termite bonds, and basic WDO reports.
Pricing starts around $99 per user per month. The mobile app is modern. FieldRoutes also has a sales module for door-to-door and in-home estimates, which matters if your Florida operation does summer mosquito sign-ups or neighborhood canvassing after a hurricane knocks down a termite colony.
Briostack has positioned itself as the modern alternative to PestPac. It covers the same ground: WDO reports, termite bonds, chemical logging, multi-line operations, and a customer portal. The interface is faster than PestPac. The onboarding is shorter. Pricing starts around $79 per user per month, which puts it cheaper than PestPac.
For a Florida pest control company doing $1 million to $5 million in revenue with 5 to 20 techs, Briostack is the sweet spot. You get the pest-control-specific features without the enterprise complexity. If you are currently on PestPac and frustrated with the interface or the price, Briostack is the most common migration path.
GorillaDesk starts at $49 per month and is the right tool for a solo operator or a 2 to 3 tech shop. It covers scheduling, invoicing, payment processing, SMS reminders, and a customer portal. What it does not cover: WDO reports, deep chemical tracking, or termite bond automation. You can run a small pest control business on GorillaDesk, but you will fill in the gaps manually.
If you are a one-person operation in a smaller Florida market like Ocala, Lakeland, or the Treasure Coast, and you do not do many WDO inspections, GorillaDesk gets the job done at a price that makes sense. The 14-day free trial is actual, no demo required.
Pocomos is the newest entry on this list and targets solo and small operators with AI-assisted routing and a simpler interface than the big platforms. Pricing starts around $69 per month. It handles scheduling, invoicing, and customer communication. The AI routing tries to optimize your daily schedule based on traffic, service type, and customer preferences.
The limitation is depth. Pocomos does not have native WDO reports, termite bond modules, or multi-line management. It is a good fit for a solo operator running general pest services who does not need compliance-heavy features. For a growing Florida operation, it is likely a stepping stone to FieldRoutes or Briostack.
| Your Situation | Best Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Solo operator, general pest only | GorillaDesk | Lowest price, solid basics, 14-day free trial |
| Solo, want AI routing | Pocomos | Slightly more modern interface, AI optimization |
| 3-15 techs, dense residential routes | FieldRoutes | Best routing engine, service agreement management |
| 5-20 techs, multi-line (pest + lawn + mosquito) | Briostack | Full pest features, easier than PestPac, lower price |
| 10+ techs, multiple branches, compliance priority | PestPac | Industry standard, deepest feature set, WDO + chemical tracking |
For most Florida pest control operators with 3 to 15 techs, FieldRoutes hits the best balance of pest-specific features and usable software. The route optimization alone pays for itself in a state where you are running dense residential routes year-round. If you need multi-line operations with WDO reports and chemical tracking without PestPac complexity or price, go with Briostack. Solo operators should start with GorillaDesk at $49 per month and move up when WDO inspections or termite bond volume demands it.
And a note on WDO reports: if your company generates even five real estate inspection reports per month, pick a platform with native WDO support. The time you save filling out Form 13645 inside the software versus manually in a PDF will cover the price difference between a general tool and a pest-control-specific one.
