Preferred pest control vendors go quiet after assign
The book has a name. The accept never arrives. Ops finds out when the site asks whether anyone is coming.
Pest control proof is a photo on a phone
The person who will be asked later cannot find the work order, the attendance or the certificate.

Coverage on a slide. The suburb still waits because nobody ranked a backup who can actually attend.
- Can we keep our existing pest control contractors in Gladstone?
- Yes. Import the Gladstone book, invite them once, and they work your jobs from the tradie portal. You are not forced onto a public marketplace for day-to-day pest control work in Gladstone.
- Does a QLD-wide pest control agreement cover Gladstone sites?
- Only if the ranked crew can actually attend Gladstone. A Townsville or Cairns job is not a Brisbane drive. A state-wide slide is not a local accept, and a job cannot close without proof from that pin.

- How does weather around Gladstone affect pest control chase clocks?
- Queensland heat, humidity and cyclone-season shutdowns punish HVAC, refrigeration and roofing more than a temperate roster expects. OpsChase still records accept, attendance and proof — rank Gladstone crews, not a distant office.
