PestPac, part of WorkWave, is business software built for pest control companies, from established local companies to multi-location enterprises and franchisors. A pest company of 3 to 25 people looking at alternatives usually needs service plans, routes and chemical records, plus reviews, posts and a front desk that knows the business. Martello's answer is one connected stack: TradesBackbone for the routes and services, Mycel as the brain, ReputeLift for reviews and SynthPrism for posts.

What a shop of 3 to 25 people actually needs
Every field service app schedules, estimates and invoices. The work that slips in a small shop is around the app: the missed call, the review nobody asked for, the post nobody wrote. Here is how the jobs side runs in TradesBackbone.
Service plans that set the next stop
On Pro, put an account on a Monthly, Bi-Monthly or Quarterly plan and the next service is created when it is due.
Route order with drive time
On Pro, route order proposes the sequence for a technician's day with drive time per leg. Applying it is a deliberate click.
Chemical-use record on every service
The pest setup adds a Chemical-Use Record (product, EPA #, rate, target) to each service, with application and state compliance reports built from those entries.
Reviews and getting found
Marking a service complete can hand the review ask to ReputeLift, which works on getting you found in Google and AI search.
One connected stack, with Mycel as the brain
TradesBackbone runs the jobs: scheduling, dispatch, estimates, invoices, card payments and follow-ups. Mycel is the brain, the shop's memory and the owner's desk, and with Mycel connected, the AI front desk answers customers from what you choose to share there. ReputeLift asks for the review when a job is marked complete and works on getting you found in Google and AI search. SynthPrism drafts your social posts and publishes them.

Scheduling, dispatch, estimates, invoices, card payments and follow-ups, with the office at a desk and techs on a phone working the same records.
ReputeLift
Reviews and getting found

SynthPrism
Posts, drafted and published

Moving your records over
There is no PestPac preset on the import screen. Export your accounts as a CSV or Excel file, upload it, and confirm the column matching: any header layout works. You see every row before anything is saved, and importing the same file twice updates records instead of making duplicates.
