Why postcards work for pest control
Pest control is a reactive-to-preventive conversion play. The homeowner calls when they see the pest. Once the pest is gone, they want to keep it gone — which is how quarterly service plans get sold. A category-exclusive postcard starts the conversation at the reactive moment and locks in recurring revenue.
Seasonality matters by pest. Ants spike April–June. Mosquitoes spike May–August. Rodents spike September–November as weather turns. Roaches are year-round but flare in summer. Drop a postcard two to three weeks before each seasonal wave and the card is in the kitchen when the homeowner spots the first ant. Exclusivity on the route means you are the only exterminator they can see on paper that week.
