An AI receptionist for pest control companies.

Pest control calls are rarely planned. Someone sees a mouse cross the kitchen at 9pm, finds a wasp nest by the front door, or notices winged insects coming out of a wall in spring. They want to know if you can come and how soon. Other calls are slower: a quarterly plan, a termite inspection for a home sale, a quote for a restaurant kitchen. Both kinds come in while your techs are in crawl spaces and attics with their phones in the truck.

An AI receptionist answers in your company's name when nobody can. It asks your questions: what they are seeing, where in the home, for how long, and whether there are kids or pets. Then it books an inspection or first service from your calendar, texts a confirmation with the prep steps you wrote, and sends you a summary with the transcript. It does not identify the pest, recommend a product or price termite work. Calls you mark as urgent, like a nest at an entrance, go to you right away.

Most pest calls are made in the moment. The caller has just seen the mouse, the roach or the swarm, and they want someone booked before they go to bed. They search, call the first company with good reviews, and book with whoever answers. If your phone goes to voicemail, they do not wait for a call back. They are already talking to the next company on the list.

The first visit is not the whole value. A one-time rodent or ant call often turns into a quarterly plan, and a plan customer can stay with you for years and send you their neighbors. Termite work is larger still. Missing the first call means losing the plan that would have followed, not only the one service.

Calls also come at the worst times for a small crew: evenings, weekends, and the middle of a crawl space treatment when nobody can reach a phone. Answering with the same questions and a real time on the calendar keeps those callers from becoming a stop on someone else's route.

The calls it handles.

Urgent usually means a stinging insect nest at a door or play area, a caller with a known sting allergy, or an animal loose inside the house. The agent transfers those calls, sends you an urgent alert or gives your on-call number, as you decided, and tells anyone describing a medical emergency to call 911.

  • Wasp or hornet nest by the front door

    A nest over an entrance or a play set, sometimes with someone allergic in the house. The agent gets the location and books the earliest slot, or follows your urgent rule for stinging insects.

  • Mice in the kitchen at night

    Scratching in the walls or droppings under the sink. The agent asks where and for how long, books a rodent inspection and texts your prep sheet.

  • Termites swarming inside the house

    Winged insects coming out of a wall or piling up on a windowsill in spring. The agent books the next termite inspection and passes on any instructions you wrote, such as saving a few in a bag.

  • Bed bugs found after a trip

    Bugs in a mattress seam or bites after a hotel stay. The agent asks which rooms, books an inspection and texts your preparation sheet. It does not comment on bites or tell them what to throw away.

  • Quarterly or monthly service plan

    A new homeowner wants regular general pest service. The agent explains the plans you offer in your wording, with any prices you approved, and books the first service.

  • Termite inspection for a home sale

    A buyer, seller or agent needs a wood-destroying insect inspection before closing. The agent books it and notes the closing date and who should receive the report.

  • Animal in the attic or under the deck

    Noises overhead at night or something living under the porch. If you handle wildlife, the agent books the visit. If you do not, it says so and gives the referral you chose.

  • Plan customer says the ants are back

    An existing customer is seeing activity between visits. The agent takes the details and flags it as a re-service call for an existing customer, instead of booking it as a new sale.

On every call

  • Answers in your company's name and asks what they are seeingAnts, roaches, mice, wasps, termites, bed bugs or an animal, and where in or around the home.
  • Checks for anything you treat as urgentA stinging insect nest at an entrance, a known sting allergy in the house, or an animal loose in the living space follows your urgent rule.
  • Asks the questions your techs needHow long it has been going on, which rooms, the size of the home, kids or pets, and whether anyone has already sprayed or set traps.
  • Explains your plans in your wordsOne-time service versus quarterly or monthly plans, with the prices you approved. It does not recommend products or say what will work.
  • Books the inspection or first serviceFrom your real calendar, at a time the caller picks, with termite and wildlife jobs going to the right tech if you split them.
  • Texts a confirmation with your prep stepsDate, time, address and the preparation sheet you wrote, such as clearing out under the sinks or keeping pets in another room.
  • Sends you the summaryWho called, what they are seeing, the booking and the transcript, by text, email or Slack.

What missed calls cost.

The estimate uses cautious numbers for a small pest control company. Change any of them to match yours.

Tools it connects to

It can connect to tools like FieldRoutes, GorillaDesk, PestPac, Jobber and Housecall Pro.

Connecting means a booked service or inspection lands in your routing and scheduling tool as a new customer and appointment, with the pest, the address and the call summary attached, so the tech reads it before the visit.

Fifteen new-customer calls a week is a quiet week for a small pest control company outside the spring and summer peak, and it leaves out calls from existing plan customers.

15% assumes someone answers most daytime calls, which is generous when techs are in attics and crawl spaces and evening calls about mice and roaches often go unanswered.

30% counts only callers who book a paid first service, and assumes many are price shopping, want a free estimate first or plan to try a store product.

$200 covers a first general pest or rodent service only, and leaves out termite work, exclusion work and the plan visits that often follow.

Questions, answered

Can it tell a caller what pest they have?

No. It asks what they are seeing and where, and records the answers for your technician, but it does not identify pests, comment on bites or recommend a product. If a caller asks, it says a technician will confirm on the visit, and books the visit. That keeps the advice with your licensed people.

Can it sign people up for a quarterly plan on the call?

It can explain the plans you offer in the words you approve, including prices you are happy to state, and book the first service. It can also text a payment link after booking if you take payment upfront. It does not take card numbers on the call, and anything that needs a custom price, like termite work, goes to an inspection.

How does it handle termite calls?

It asks what the caller saw, whether swarmers, damaged wood or a note in a home inspection report, and books a termite inspection from your calendar. For real estate inspections it notes the closing date and who should receive the report. It never quotes a treatment price, since that depends on what your inspector finds.

What about wildlife calls if we do not handle them?

Your answers page decides. If you handle animals in attics, crawl spaces or under decks, the agent books those visits like any other. If you do not, it says so politely and gives the referral number you chose, so the caller is not left with nothing and your calendar does not fill with jobs you will turn down.

What happens with a wasp nest and someone who is allergic?

You set the rule before launch. For example, you might treat a nest at an entrance with a known allergy in the house as urgent: the agent transfers the call or sends you an urgent alert. If the caller describes a reaction happening now, it tells them to call 911. It does not give medical advice.

Can it handle calls from existing plan customers?

Yes. When a caller says they are on a plan and the pests are back, it takes the details and flags the call as an existing customer, so you can handle it under your re-service terms instead of booking it as a new sale. It does not promise a free visit unless your answers page says so.

Will callers know they are talking to an AI?

If they ask, it says it is an AI assistant answering for your company. It does not pretend to be a person. Someone who just found droppings in the pantry mostly wants a time on the calendar and a text confirming it, and that is the job it does.

What do you need from us to get started?

Your phone number with call forwarding, which we set up, a calendar or scheduling tool with real open times, and a page of answers: the pests you treat, your service area, your plans and any prices you state, your prep sheets, what counts as urgent, and anything it must never say, like product names or safety claims.
