The bottom line on FieldEdge
FieldEdge is an HVAC and plumbing platform that has zero pest-specific features — no chemical tracking, no EPA registration, no state compliance forms. The Slay brothers built it for HVAC mechanics, not pest operators. Unless you're primarily an HVAC company with a small pest division, there's no reason to consider FieldEdge for pest control. It doesn't have the features pest operators need, and it costs significantly more while delivering less for your industry.
