How to make an app for a pest control service

Pest control is rarely one visit. Bed bugs need a second round in two weeks, restaurants have a visit every month, and termite jobs come back for checks. An app keeps every booking, works out the next visit due and makes the service report your contract customers ask for.

Who uses the app

The office and the field team. If technicians mark visits done on their own phones, connect your own Supabase database so the office sees it; if one person runs everything, the data can stay on one phone.

The screens a pest control service app needs

Visits: Today's and tomorrow's visits with the address, pest, flat size, first or follow-up visit, and the technician
New booking: Customer, address with Google Maps, pest, BHK or area, price and the date; follow-ups planned from the treatment
Follow-ups due: Customers whose second visit or check is due this week, with a WhatsApp button
Contracts: Yearly contracts for homes, offices and restaurants: visits per year, done, next due and amount
Service report: What was treated, where, what was used and the precautions told, made into a PDF for the customer
Stock: Gels, sprays and baits in stock and what each visit used

Features worth asking for

Follow-up dates set from the treatment, such as bed bugs: second visit after 15 days
Monthly contract visits listed by due date, with an overdue list
A service report PDF with the area treated, what was used and the precautions
Price worked out from the pest and the flat size
Stock going down as visits are closed
A phone reminder the morning of each visit (installed app; it may be a few minutes late)
Restaurant and office customers grouped with all their past reports

Where the data lives

If only the office phone uses the app, the data can stay on it. If technicians close visits on their own phones, or contract customers should see their reports, connect your own Supabase database; add Razorpay to collect contract payments online, with the money going to you.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Visits, New booking, Follow-ups due, Contracts, Service report.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your pest control service, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my pest control business, Thomas Pest Care in Kochi. Screens: visits, new booking, follow-ups due, contracts, service report and stock. A booking has the customer, address with Google Maps, pest, flat size, price and technician. Cockroach: 1 visit; bed bugs: 2 visits 15 days apart; termites: checks every 6 months. Plan follow-ups from that. Yearly contracts have monthly visits and show the next due. The service report lists area treated, what was used and the precautions, as a PDF to send on WhatsApp. Track gels, sprays and baits. Green colours.

Tips for a pest control service app

Write down how many visits and how many days apart each treatment needs, and give AppCub that table.
Fill the service report at the site before leaving; restaurants and offices often need it for their own files.
Keep the precautions text the same in every report, and change it in the chat if your products change.
Start with visits, bookings and follow-ups; add stock once the team records every visit.
Test a full month of contract visits with dummy customers before entering real ones.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't send messages on its own and doesn't track the team live. Reminders to customers go out when someone taps the WhatsApp button, and directions open in Google Maps.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app plan the second visit for bed bugs?

Yes. Give each treatment its visits and the gap, and the app sets the follow-up date when you book the first visit.

Can I give restaurant customers a report after each visit?

Yes. Ask for a service report PDF with what was treated, what was used and the precautions; share it on WhatsApp or print it.

Can the app show which yearly contracts are overdue?

Yes. Each contract has visits per year, and the app lists those whose next visit date has passed.

Can I track how much gel and spray each visit uses?

Yes. Record what was used on each visit, and stock goes down when the visit is closed.

Can technicians see only their own visits?

Yes, with your own Supabase database and sign-in. Each technician sees the visits given to them.

Can customers book pest control in an app?

Yes, with a customer screen connected to your online database. Many start with WhatsApp bookings entered by the office and add this later.
