Pest control change

How pest control businesses get jobs from permits

New homes need termite pretreatment and a bond. Remodels and demolitions stir up pests. These permits are how you find those houses first.

Sample The permits below are made up to show the idea. Subscribers get the real ones every morning, with the owner and contractor.

  1. 1 New homes that need termite pretreatment

    Why it's a lead
    New construction in Florida needs termite protection, which usually means a pretreatment before the slab is poured.
    What to do and when
    Call the builder on the permit before the slab is poured. Then mail the new owner a renewal or service offer after closing.
    What to say
    "I do termite pretreats for new construction. If you need one for Shellbank Hollow, I can be there before the pour."

  2. 2 New owners who need ongoing service

    Why it's a lead
    A new house near woods or marsh gets pests in the first year. New owners don't have a pest company yet.
    What to do and when
    Mail the owner a quarterly service offer around closing.
    What to say
    "New homes near the woods get ants and roaches early. Here's what quarterly service costs."

  3. 3 Demolitions that send rodents next door

    Why it's a lead
    When an old house comes down, rodents move to the neighbors. The rebuild will need a pretreat too.
    What to do and when
    Call the builder about the pretreat. Mail neighbors on the same street a short note about rodent control during the demo.
    What to say
    "There's a teardown on your street. If you see mice or rats in the next few weeks, we can help."

The math

A year of the email costs $1,188. If it lands you one year of service for one house, it has paid for itself. Everything after that is profit.

And if your first 30 days don't pay off, you get your $99 back. You can't lose money trying it.

Next: pick your towns

You'll get new homes, remodels and demolitions: the permits that lead to your work. You can change this any time.
