About PestPac
PestPac is the longest-established pest control management software in the market, founded in 1981 in Holmdel, New Jersey and now owned by WorkWave (the parent company also operating FieldRoutes). The product targets a specific buyer segment: long-established pest control operations 20-500 employees with deep industry workflows that newer cloud-native platforms can't fully replicate, particularly multi-location enterprise pest operations with complex commercial accounts.
What separates PestPac from modern competitors (FieldRoutes, GorillaDesk) is the 40+ years of pest control specialization. The platform's workflow assumptions reflect four decades of pest control industry refinement: complex multi-location commercial accounts with property hierarchies, chemical compliance reporting that meets state-by-state EPA pesticide regulations, integration with Sentricon (the dominant termite-monitoring system in the industry), service agreement management for recurring pest contracts, and deep reporting around route density and operational metrics. For operations with significant legacy data and decades of customer history, PestPac's data structures handle the depth that newer platforms haven't accumulated.
Pricing is custom-quoted across two tiers (Standard, Enterprise) with no published pricing. User-reported pricing typically lands at $99-$199 per user per month for the Standard tier and meaningfully higher for Enterprise depending on team size and module selection. Sales-call required to get pricing — typical for enterprise pest control software where deployment includes significant implementation work.
Integration coverage focuses on pest industry tools: QuickBooks for accounting, Stripe for payment processing, and Sentricon for termite monitoring integration. The Sentricon integration is particularly important — Sentricon is the dominant termite baiting system, and PestPac's deep integration reflects PestPac's long history with the pest industry's dominant tools.
The trade-off: PestPac shows its age in places. The UI feels legacy compared to FieldRoutes (modern cloud) or GorillaDesk (small-business modern). Some modules still run on older technology infrastructure with cloud transition in progress. For long-established pest operations with significant legacy data and complex commercial workflows, the depth justifies the dated UI. For new pest operations or operations modernizing, FieldRoutes (also WorkWave-owned) is increasingly the recommended path for greenfield pest software deployments, with PestPac retaining customers via historical lock-in and feature depth that matters at enterprise scale.
Pricing
| Tier | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Custom quote | Entry tier |
| Enterprise | Custom quote | Top tier |
Custom quote
PestPac uses custom-quoted pricing — typical for enterprise field service platforms where deployment includes data migration, training, and pricebook setup. Expect a 30-60 minute discovery call before getting a number, and the spread between quoted figures can be wide depending on your team size, vertical, and feature requirements. Always get quotes in writing and confirm what's included (number of users, integrations, support tier) before signing.

Key features
Integrations
Pros
- + 40+ years of pest control specialization
Founded 1981 — by far the longest-tenured pest control software still active. Workflow assumptions reflect four decades of industry refinement. Data structures and edge-case handling match conventions that newer platforms haven't accumulated.
- + Deep commercial pest control workflows
Multi-location commercial accounts with property hierarchies, certificate-of-service generation, complex billing structures for enterprise pest contracts. Critical for operations where commercial pest is 50%+ of revenue.
- + Sentricon integration for termite operations
Sentricon is the dominant termite baiting system in pest control. PestPac's deep Sentricon integration reflects decades of partnership and is rare among pest control platforms. Critical for termite-heavy operations.
- + Comprehensive chemical compliance reporting
Chemical application logs with state-by-state EPA pesticide regulatory compliance reporting refined over decades. Handles edge cases (restricted-use pesticides, special permits, federal facility reporting) that newer platforms approximate.
- + Established enterprise customer base
Large operations (national pest control chains, regional pest operators 50+ employees) have used PestPac for decades. Industry-specific case studies, conference presence, and consultant ecosystem are PestPac-familiar.
- + WorkWave ownership brings investment
Owned by WorkWave (also owns FieldRoutes, RouteSpotter, others) since acquisition. Active investment in cloud transition and feature modernization. Pricing and feature parity with FieldRoutes evolving as WorkWave consolidates pest software portfolio.
Cons
- − Legacy UI in places
1981 founding means significant legacy UI patterns. WorkWave is investing in modernization but some modules still feel dated. Operations comparing against modern FieldRoutes (also WorkWave) or GorillaDesk notice the UI generation gap.
- − Cloud transition still in progress
Not all PestPac modules have completed migration to modern cloud architecture. Some workflows still require legacy deployment patterns. Active project but not finished. Affects mobile performance and modern-tech expectations.
- − Custom-quoted pricing (opaque)
Sales call required for quotes. No published pricing. User-reported $99-$199/user/month for Standard tier but actual quotes vary significantly. Comparison shopping requires committing time to multiple sales calls.
- − Implementation timeline 8-16 weeks
Enterprise pest control deployment is real project work. Significant data migration from legacy systems, complex workflow configuration, multi-location rollouts. PestPac assigns dedicated implementation managers but the timeline is real.
- − WorkWave is consolidating pest software portfolio
WorkWave owns PestPac + FieldRoutes + other pest platforms. Long-term strategic direction of the portfolio is unclear. PestPac customers should monitor WorkWave's positioning of PestPac vs FieldRoutes for new customer acquisition.
Implementation timeline
3–6 months for full deployment
Plan for 8-16 weeks for full deployment. PestPac assigns dedicated implementation managers for all customers given the custom-quoted enterprise positioning. Realistic timeline for a 50-tech pest control operation transitioning from another platform: Weeks 1-3 discovery and system configuration including chemical SKU library setup with EPA registration codes, service agreement structure mapping, multi-location property hierarchies, user roles and permissions. Weeks 3-6 customer data migration with historical pest service records (most complex step — decades of customer history needs to import correctly), recurring service contract migration, chemical compliance baseline establishment. Weeks 6-10 office staff training on service agreement management, commercial account workflows, chemical compliance reporting; route configuration and optimization setup. Weeks 10-13 field tech training on mobile app with chemical logging workflows, customer history access, route navigation. Weeks 13-16 first routes go live in production with parallel run on legacy system; financial integration with QuickBooks/Stripe verified; Sentricon integration setup if applicable. For operations migrating from spreadsheet-based or paper workflows, the migration is simpler but still substantial — PestPac's data depth requires careful setup. For operations migrating from GorillaDesk (modern competitor at smaller scale), expect data structure differences requiring manual reconstruction of recurring contracts.

Frequently asked questions
How does PestPac compare to FieldRoutes (also WorkWave)?
Both are WorkWave-owned pest control platforms. PestPac (founded 1981) is the legacy enterprise platform with deeper commercial pest workflows and established large customer base. FieldRoutes (founded 2012, acquired 2021) is the modern cloud-native alternative with better mobile UX, AI features, and modern technology foundation. For new pest control operations choosing software in 2026, WorkWave typically recommends FieldRoutes. PestPac retains customers via historical lock-in and feature depth for very large enterprise pest operations.
Should I switch from PestPac to FieldRoutes?
Depends on operation size and workflow needs. For pest operations under 50 techs without significant legacy data lock-in, FieldRoutes typically offers better UI and modern features at comparable pricing. For larger operations (50+ techs) with deep legacy data in PestPac and complex commercial workflows, the migration cost may not justify the upgrade. WorkWave is actively investing in PestPac modernization, so the gap is closing. Worth evaluating both via demos if considering switching.
Does PestPac integrate with Sentricon for termite work?
Yes — Sentricon integration is one of PestPac's signature features. Sentricon is the dominant termite baiting system in pest control. PestPac's deep Sentricon integration (refined over decades of partnership) is rare among pest control platforms. For termite-heavy operations (Sentricon-dependent workflows), PestPac retains advantage over modern competitors.
How does PestPac handle chemical compliance reporting?
Built-in chemical application logs with EPA registration tracking and state-by-state regulatory compliance reporting refined over decades. Handles edge cases (restricted-use pesticides, special permits, federal facility reporting) that newer platforms approximate. Critical for pest control operations meeting state and EPA reporting requirements, especially operations working with restricted-use pesticides or federal contracts.
Is PestPac still being actively developed?
Yes — WorkWave (the parent company) is actively investing in PestPac modernization including cloud architecture migration and UI refresh. Pace is slower than FieldRoutes development (which is the modern flagship platform), but PestPac continues to receive updates. WorkWave's long-term strategic direction for the pest software portfolio (PestPac + FieldRoutes coexistence vs eventual consolidation) is evolving.
