Your GorillaDesk account will already come pre-populated with a robust list of standard pest control materials. However, you will also have the ability to add, remove, and edit selections; allowing you to fully customize the options that will be available when adding materials to a job.


You can access and customize your material usage by navigating to Addons>Material Usage.
