Pest control companies must track pesticide usage for regulatory compliance. Odoo lot tracking records which chemicals were applied at which property, in what quantities, by which licensed technician. This data is essential for EPA reporting and liability protection.
- Pesticide inventory with lot/batch tracking
- Usage log per service visit (chemical, quantity, application method)
- MSDS (Safety Data Sheets) attached to product records
- Restricted-use pesticide flag with licensed applicator requirement
- Vehicle stock levels for technician trucks
- Reorder alerts when chemical stock runs low
