Missed-Call Text-Back
Start hereEvery call your technicians cannot take gets an instant text, so the customer has a reply and a way to book.
For Pest Control Companies
Pest problems feel urgent to the person who has them, and they call until someone answers. Then the value is in turning a one-time treatment into a recurring plan. We build the systems that answer, book, and follow up for you.
Where work goes missing
Your technicians are under houses and in attics all day. A caller who finds droppings in the pantry calls the next company on the list.
Booking an inspection means back-and-forth about access, pets and times. Every round trip is a chance for the customer to go elsewhere.
A customer who had ants treated in spring is a good candidate for a recurring plan. Without a follow-up, they only call again when the problem is back.
When termites swarm or wasps nest, everyone calls in the same few weeks. The companies that answer first fill their schedules for the season.
What we would build
Most businesses do not need all of these. The first one closes the biggest leak; the rest are worth adding once it is running.
Every call your technicians cannot take gets an instant text, so the customer has a reply and a way to book.
Answers calls, asks what they are seeing and where, and books inspections into the days and areas you allow.
Follows up inspection quotes and recurring-plan offers, answering common questions, until the customer decides.
Reaches past customers before their pest season starts, and offers recurring service after one-time treatments.
Once it is running
An illustration of how the systems work together, not a client story.
A homeowner calls about wasps nesting by the front door. Your technician is on a job. A text goes out from your number within seconds asking what they are seeing.
They reply with a photo. The assistant books an inspection for tomorrow morning and asks your access questions, such as pets and gate codes.
Your technician arrives with the photo, the location of the nest and a note about the dog in the yard.
After the treatment, the customer gets a message about your recurring plan, written the way you would explain it. They reply asking for details.
Worth knowing
Treatment advice comes from your licensed technicians.
The assistant never recommends a product, a chemical or a do-it-yourself treatment, and never tells a customer that a treatment is safe for children or pets. Questions like those go to your technicians. If a customer describes a situation you have flagged as a safety risk, such as a large stinging-insect nest by a doorway, it follows the script you approve.
Questions
Many pest control platforms accept bookings and customer details from outside. Where yours does not, bookings land in a calendar or inbox your office already uses.
Yes. You set which days you cover which areas, and inspections are only offered on days you are already nearby.
Yes, by text or WhatsApp. Photos are attached to the booking so your technician sees them before arriving.
Commercial enquiries, such as restaurants and warehouses, can get their own questions and go to whoever handles those accounts, with inspection times outside business hours if you offer them.
