FOR PEST CONTROL TECHNICIANS

Automatic time tracking for pest control technicians.

How a pest control technician's day actually looks

Most time-tracking apps assume a steady, predictable day. A pest control technician's day is the opposite. You're inspecting properties and applying pest treatments, switching between addresses like Residential homes, Commercial warehouses, Restaurants and food service facilities, and doing tasks like Checking and replenishing bait stations, Spraying perimeter liquid barriers, Inspecting eaves and entry points for nests. Timers get forgotten. Manually entering jobsites in advance does not match how calls actually come in.

Friction pest control technicians tell us about

  • Losing track of drive time between scattered residential calls during peak traffic
  • Forgetting to log mileage for remote, far-flung rural service areas
  • Difficulty reconciling service logs with actual odometer readings at the end of a long day
  • The mental fatigue of trying to remember how long a perimeter spray took while driving to the next client

How TradesTimer handles it

  • Automatic stop detection captures every inspection without you ever hitting a timer
  • Every trip between clients is recorded, creating a tax-ready mileage log without effort
  • Easily separate driving time from billable service time via automatic trip detection
  • No need to pre-configure job sites or client addresses before starting your morning route

Your location history stays on your phone.

There is no TradesTimer server storing your location trails. No account. No sign-up. Your GPS history lives on the device that recorded it — for as long as you want it. The only time anything leaves your phone is when you choose to share your billable-hours summary yourself.

The app does not talk to any third-party service with your location. Nothing about where you've been is uploaded anywhere. See the privacy policy for the full detail.
