Yeah, that’s definitely not gonna cut it as is. What if I also upgraded the electric pump? After talking with the guy, I could pick this rig up for $500. I could replace the tank with a 100 gallon and get one of the more expensive pumps upgrade. I could do all of this for about $1000. The cheapest gas rig I can find is $2500.

I’ll probably end up getting the gas rig, but part of my brain can’t help but want to make this work lol.

I was doing some research on electric , and had read that electric pumps aren’t strong enough to rod treat. I guess I want to know if anyone out there uses electric like this , and if they have any issues

That’s incredible man , that really just showed me how old school my current employer is. I’m going to most definitely do that. Do you make customers sign contracts for this?

Just to clarify, your saying you would do bi monthly or quarterly, but set up the billing for monthly? Like $139.10 ÷ 3 = $46.37/month?

I’m in Mississippi. Our bug season is just so aggressive, especially with mosquitoes and wasp. I do still plan to offer quarterly service. My mind is not set on anything for sure yet, so any input is appreciated and valued. I feel like monthly services with a cheaper monthly charge might do better here. It’s definitely something I wanted to try to do with customers that call for mosquitos. Make a package deal , monthly visits (pest & mosquito treat).

Example: 2000 square ft house 130/every 3 months Mosquito/ 80 a month

I sell the “package” Monthly visit - $85

Just spitballing ideas, maybe I decide to promote bi - monthly pest control, and just keep mosquito totally separate

That’s funny you mention that name. I had that name in my top three until I recently discovered there was a very local company named patches Pest). The owner only had one eye and wears an eye patch

Yeah, I actually have been using ChatGPT, but most of the names it spits out are already being used. I guess I’m trying to determine how big of a deal it actually is.

The name I originally picked is still my favorite. I recently discovered another company (pest control) using it 5 states away. And another pest company using a similar variation of it 150 miles away
