Why List Your Pest Control Business on PestPin
Researched and maintained to our editorial standards.
Quick answer: PestPin offers an open quote request to one eligible provider at a time and deducts $29 in account credit for an accepted general-pest lead or $99 for an accepted specialty lead. Your listing is free and stays free. Lead volume and booked jobs are not guaranteed.
Many lead platforms route a request to several pros, creating simultaneous competition for the same customer. PestPin uses a different rule: offer a request to one eligible provider at a time and charge only if that provider accepts. We are a pest-control-only marketplace where homeowners compare source-linked business records and send one request that is offered to one eligible provider at a time. This page explains what that means for your business, who it is a fit for, and how to get listed.
Exclusive 1:1 leads, not a shared pool
When you accept an eligible homeowner request on PestPin, PestPin does not distribute that contact to competing providers. This removes platform-created parallel bidding, but it does not guarantee contact, a booked job, close rate, or return. The model and its tradeoffs are laid out in exclusive vs shared leads.
One price, charged only when you accept
Your listing is free and stays free. PestPin deducts $29 in account credit for an accepted general-pest lead and $99 for an accepted termite or bed bug lead. You see a preview before accepting, and declining costs nothing. Monthly placement plans are not on sale right now, so the accepted-lead amount is the only thing PestPin charges you. Current details are on the pricing page.
A source-linked license-record match
Homeowners need checkable information before inviting a company into their home. PestPin matches your listing to an official state license record marked active when processed and shows the license number and source where available. The record-match label is not an endorsement or a claim about insurance, work quality, service area, or availability. We describe the limits in how we match license records.
A crawlable profile, without a ranking promise
A claimed profile can publish structured business details, confirmed service areas, confirmed pest categories, and a source-linked license record on a crawlable page. That can make the business easier for people and search systems to understand, but PestPin does not guarantee rankings, traffic, AI citations, leads, or booked jobs. Search engines decide what they index and display.
Why pest-control-only matters
We do one vertical. That means profiles, categories, and editorial content can be designed specifically for pest control instead of hundreds of unrelated trades. Focus is the product choice.
What the free listing includes
Nothing on this list is behind a paywall, and none of it is a trial. It is what a claimed listing does for every pest control company on PestPin:
- Claim your listing
- Source-linked license record
- Your phone and website shown to homeowners
- Exclusive introductions sent to you
- Edit your profile
- Review requests sent to your customers
Your phone number and website stay visible to homeowners for free, because they come from a public record and charging for them would be charging you for something the state already publishes.
The only amount PestPin ever takes from you is the one shown before you accept: $29 in account credit for a general-pest introduction, $99 for termite and bed bug. Homeowners pay nothing, ever.
Who PestPin is for
- Licensed pest control companies that want exclusive conversations instead of shared, resold leads.
- Owner-operators and small crews that want a crawlable, source-linked profile without a ranking or lead-volume guarantee.
- Shops that prefer a disclosed price per accepted exclusive lead over shared or resold contacts.
- Companies whose official license record is active and can be matched to the business.
How claiming your listing works
Because we build listings from official state license data, your company may already exist in our source-linked directory. Getting set up is straightforward:
- Search the directory for your business to see if a source-linked listing already exists.
- Claim or add your listing to take control of the profile.
- Match the business to an official license record marked active when processed so the record-match label can display.
- Add your contact details, service areas, and the pests you handle.
- Confirm your service area and pest categories, then put credit on the account when you want to accept an offer.

We are early and pest-control-only by design: no shared leads, no long contracts, and a focused team, not a sprawling horizontal marketplace.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a license to be listed?
Listings are built from official state license data and must match a record marked active when processed. Source timing varies, so PestPin confirms the current record and business ownership during claim review.
Is a monthly plan required to receive leads?
No. Your listing is free and no monthly plan is required. An accepted exclusive lead uses account credit at the amount shown before you accept. Monthly placement plans are not on sale right now, so the accepted-lead amount is the only thing PestPin charges you.
Is my listing already in the directory?
Possibly. We build source-linked listings from public state license records. Search the directory, and if your company is there you can submit a claim to manage it after approval.
What does the license-record match label mean?
It means PestPin matched the listing to an official license record marked active when processed. Source timing varies. It is not a quality rating, insurance check, availability statement, or endorsement.
What does it cost to be on PestPin?
Listing is free. The only charge is an accepted lead: $29 in account credit for general pests and $99 for termite and bed bug requests, and you see the amount before you accept. Monthly placement plans are not on sale right now, so the accepted-lead amount is the only thing PestPin charges you.
What makes PestPin leads different?
An eligible request is offered to one provider at a time. After acceptance, PestPin does not distribute that contact to competing providers. This does not guarantee consumer response or a booked job.
Will a PestPin profile help me show up in Google?
A claimed profile is crawlable and can publish structured, confirmed business details. PestPin does not guarantee indexing, rankings, traffic, AI citations, leads, or booked jobs.
How do I claim my listing?
Search the directory, click to claim or add your listing, confirm the license record and ownership, and add your details. Confirm service areas and pest categories before accepting offers.
Can I start for free?
Yes, and you can stay free. A claimed listing matched to a license record, with your phone and website on it, costs nothing. You only spend when you accept a lead you have already seen.
Does PestPin work outside pest control?
No, and that is intentional. We do one vertical so the content, profiles, and support are all tuned to pest control rather than spread across many industries.
Think you need a pro?
Enter your city to compare source-linked license records and send a free request. When a local pest control company is available, PestPin offers the request to one company at a time and never sells it as a shared lead. Availability and acceptance are not guaranteed.
