Who this is for

Technicians and owners who want a simple way to document observations and explain what the customer is seeing.

A better customer explanation

Show the guide alongside your own property notes. Explain that spittlebugs are hemipterans, that local timing can vary, and that a site-specific inspection is more useful than a blanket promise.

Use the observation in your workflow

  • Treatment tracking — Keep application details and follow-up notes connected to the property.
  • Customer records — Keep photos, service history, and technician notes in one place.
  • Service scheduling — Schedule return scouting and recurring service work without losing the thread.
