Executive Overview

PestShield Northwest is a fast-dispatch web application designed to turn panicked homeowners dealing with active pest infestations into scheduled, deposit-backed service dispatches.

In residential pest control, speed-to-lead is critical. Homeowners dealing with active rodents, wasps, or carpenter ants leave websites that require contact forms or long callbacks. PestShield Northwest solves this by providing instant pricing tiers based on infestation type and home square footage, followed by a live arrival-window selection modal.

The Operational Challenge

Residential pest control operators face three main booking drop-off points:

Vague Pricing Friction: Customers hesitate to book when service pricing is hidden behind "Call for Quote" forms.

Dispatch Scheduling Delays: Coordinating inspection arrival windows over back-and-forth phone calls wastes office admin hours and risks losing leads to competitors who answer faster.

Square Footage Miscalculations: Pricing crawlspace or perimeter treatments without knowing home size leads to price adjustments on-site that frustrate customers.

The Solution: 2-Step Instant Dispatch Flow
