Pest Control

One truck down changes
the whole route.

Your revenue per stop, you know cold. Your cost per stop, the truck, the spray equipment, the fuel, the repairs, is a number almost nobody in this industry has ever run. Torgix prices every truck on the route by the hour and by the stop, tracks the applicator licenses and chemical handling records that keep you compliant, and keeps every rig on schedule instead of in the shop.

Sound familiar?

The problems every pest control operator knows.

Your business runs on the route sheet. These are the gaps that cost you stops, technicians, and renewals.

"Truck 7's spray pump failed mid-route. We rescheduled twelve stops."

No warning. The pump was overdue for service, but nobody was tracking hours on the tank and spray system separately from the odometer.

"I know what we charge per stop. I have no idea what the truck costs per stop."

Revenue per stop is on every invoice. Vehicle cost per stop, depreciation, fuel, maintenance, wear, has never been calculated for a single route.

"A tech's applicator license lapsed and we didn't catch it until a customer asked."

Licensing and chemical handling records live in a filing cabinet or a spreadsheet nobody checks until a renewal deadline is already missed.

"The tank and pump system needs parts a regular auto shop doesn't stock."

Spray equipment isn't a standard vehicle part. Sourcing the right pump, nozzle, or hose fitting takes calls a generic parts counter can't answer.

"A route that looks full on paper finishes light every Friday, and I don't know why."

Scheduled stops and completed stops are two different numbers. Nobody is tracking the gap, so cost per stop quietly drifts upward.

"One truck down and the whole day's schedule falls apart."

Fixed costs on the down truck keep accruing while its stops get pushed to tomorrow, and nobody sees what that actually did to the numbers.

We get it

Your fleet isn't a cost center. It's the route.

Pest control runs on route density: how many stops a truck completes, not how many hours it idles. That makes it a different animal from a generic delivery fleet. Spray equipment, tanks and pump systems need their own PM schedule, applicator licenses and chemical handling records carry real compliance weight, and a truck that goes down doesn't just cost you a repair bill, it pushes stops onto tomorrow's route. Torgix was built for operations where uptime isn't optional, and it prices every truck by the hour and by the stop so you can see which routes actually earn their keep.

How it works

Four steps. Total equipment intelligence.

Connect your fleet and the loop runs itself. Every event captured, costed, questioned, and acted on.

01. Capture

Every event lands on the right truck.

Inspections, fault codes, fuel logs, work orders, parts, mileage, stops completed: all automatically attributed to the correct truck. Nothing falls through.

02. Cost

Every event becomes a real dollar, per stop.

Repair labor, parts spend, fuel burn, downtime. Your true cost per truck and per stop stops hiding in separate systems you never reconcile.

03. Ask

Query your fleet in plain English.

"Which route is costing us the most per stop?" The AI runs the analysis and surfaces the answer. No dashboards to build.

04. Act

Turn the answer into the next move.

Order the part. Renew the license before it lapses. Schedule the service. One click, fully tracked, attributed back to the loop so every action makes the next answer smarter.

How Torgix fixes it

Uptime-first fleet intelligence for pest control routes.

Every cost tracked. Every truck visible. Every route margin known, so you can run a tighter operation and stop bleeding money on equipment you can't see.

Uptime-first PM on spray equipment

Set preventive maintenance on the vehicle and the tank and spray system separately, by mileage, calendar date, or hours, whichever comes first. Automated alerts fire before the threshold, not after the pump fails mid-route.

Alerts before failures, not after

Cost per stop, not just cost per hour

Group vehicles by route and track every cost, fuel, maintenance, repairs, time, against stops actually completed. See which routes are profitable, which are breaking even, and which are quietly draining margin.

Cost per stop, exportable

Applicator license and chemical handling tracking

Keep technician certifications, applicator licenses and chemical handling records attached to the person and the truck, with renewal alerts before they lapse, not after a customer or an inspector asks.

Renewal alerts, not surprises

Specialized parts sourcing

1.4M+ parts through Discount Equipment's catalog, accessible directly from the work order. Find the right pump, nozzle, hose fitting or tank component without the sourcing delay that costs you a day on the route.

Right part, right rig, immediate availability
AI in action

Ask it before the route starts. Not after it goes wrong.

Torgix AI gives you answers about your specific fleet. Before the problem happens, not after.

TM
Which trucks are at risk this week, and is anyone's applicator license close to expiring?
AI
2 trucks flagged, and one license expiring:

. Truck 4 (Spray Rig). Pump seal service overdue by 3 weeks. Route 2 has 19 stops Thursday. I'd schedule this before then.
. Truck 9 (Service Van). Recurring low fluid pressure in recent inspections. Worth a check before a full route day.
. Marcus R.'s applicator license expires in 11 days. He's scheduled on Route 2 through next month.

Want me to build a work order for Truck 4 and start Marcus's renewal?
TM
Yes to both. And what's Route 2's cost per stop looking like this month?
AI
Work order created for Truck 4. Marcus's renewal packet started, due back from the state in about two weeks.

Route 2, this month: averaging $5.60 per stop, up from $4.90 last month. The gap tracks to Truck 4's pump issue: fewer completed stops per day while the fixed cost kept accruing.

The cost of doing nothing

What changes when cost per stop is actually managed.

The difference between reactive and proactive fleet management compounds every month.

Without Torgix
  • PM on the vehicle and the spray system tracked in spreadsheets nobody updates
  • Pump or tank failure mid-route means rescheduled stops and apology calls
  • Applicator license renewals tracked by memory until one lapses
  • Parts sourcing on a breakdown takes hours for spray equipment a generic shop doesn't stock
  • Revenue per stop is known. Vehicle cost per stop is a guess.
  • A truck going down quietly raises cost per stop and nobody sees it happen
With Torgix
  • Automated PM alerts on the vehicle and the spray system, before the failure, not after
  • Applicator licenses and chemical handling records tracked with renewal alerts
  • Parts sourced through 1.4M+ catalog directly from the work order
  • True cost per stop and per truck, current, not recalculated once a year
  • Downtime's impact on cost per stop visible the day it happens, not the month-end
  • Route profitability becomes a managed metric, not a hope

What a pest control truck actually costs, per stop.

Revenue per stop is common knowledge in this industry. Cost per stop almost never gets calculated. We wrote the guide and built the calculator to go with it.
