Social media for pest control companies has a modest job: few people follow a pest controller, but many check one before letting them into the house.
Posts that show the van, the team and the treated loft without gruesome close-ups, and timely warnings when wasps appear, do that job.

The biggest damage comes from posts that promise more than the service really covers and raise the wrong expectations around urgent infestation and recurring treatment searches.
Treatment methods, certificates and an open account of the process decide whether the right people call.
Most people look at a pest firm's social page only when they need one, and a page with no posts since last summer looks closed.
For pest control companies, we plan social media around local proof, posts that show which jobs you take on and ready replies to quick public questions that never promise more than the team can do.
People do not follow a pest controller for pleasure, so the aim is to be found and trusted when the need arises.
The useful posts explain and reassure, and the gruesome ones get hidden.
One useful post a week is plenty for this trade.
We pick the channels your customers really use and leave the others alone.
We plan what to post, who takes the photos and a rhythm the team can keep. For pest control, the posts show sealed entry points, tidy bait stations and the season's advice, never a close-up of the pest, and promotion starts when the wasps do.
We agree who answers comments and messages, how fast, and what is never discussed in public.
We pay to promote a post only when it has a clear job, and judge the work by messages and enquiries, not followers.
We count private messages that ask for help and calls that mention a post, since people rarely comment publicly about pests in their home.
