Pest Control Mobile App With the Records That Have to Be Right
Pest control is one of the few field trades where what the technician records can be demanded by a regulator. Chemical applications, target pests, quantities, locations, licence numbers — these are not operational notes, they are a legal record. An app that treats them as free text is storing up a problem for whenever somebody asks.

Book demoWhat the technician app has to capture
- Chemical applications as structured records — product, quantity, target, location, technician licence
- Property history, so the technician knows what was applied last visit and what it did
- Device and station checks with their own condition and activity records
- Photographs tied to a specific station or area rather than to the job generally
- Customer sign-off and the service report they receive
- Access details — gate codes, dogs, key holders, where the bait stations actually are
Why free-text records fail
Free text is fast to build and impossible to report on. A year later, when somebody needs to know every property treated with a particular product, or every application by a technician whose licence lapsed, the answer requires reading thousands of notes. Structured from the start, it is a query.
Forms shaped like your service
Fieldproxy builds the technician screens to your service types — what is recorded on a commercial food-safety visit versus a domestic callout, which fields are mandatory, what the customer sees on the report — and keeps all of it working offline.
Two approaches to the same problem
| A generic job app | Screens built to your service | |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical records | Free text or a photo | Structured and reportable |
| Station checks | A note | Records against the device |
| Service report | A standard template | What your customer requires |
| Offline | Often partial | Full, syncing later |
What it does
- Structured chemical and application records
- Device and station registers with condition history
- Property history visible on arrival
- Photographs tied to specific locations
- Customer sign-off and service report generation
- Full offline working
Common questions
Does it record chemical applications properly?
Yes, as structured records — product, quantity, target, location and the technician's licence — rather than as notes. That is the form the records need to be in if they are ever produced for an inspection rather than reconstructed.
Can it track bait stations and devices?
Yes, as records in their own right with condition and activity history, so a station with repeated activity is visible as a pattern rather than as a series of unrelated visit notes.
Does it work without signal?
Yes, fully offline with sync on return, which matters in basements, crawl spaces and rural properties.
Can the customer get a service report?
Yes, generated from the structured record and built to what your customers actually require, which differs sharply between domestic work and audited commercial contracts.
