For pest control companies
An AI receptionist and website for pest control companies.
Nobody shops around with mice in the kitchen. Alex answers every call 24/7, takes the pest, property and urgency, books the visit and texts you the lead.
Why missed calls cost pest control companies so much
Pest control calls are emotional and urgent. A homeowner who just found wasps by the door or droppings in the pantry wants someone booked today, and they call until they get one.
Many of these calls come in the evening and on weekends, when people are home and notice the problem. Those are the hours most pest control offices are closed.
Alex (AI)Thanks for calling Shield Pest Control, this is Alex. How can I help?
CallerWe have a wasp nest right by our front door.
Alex (AI)Let's get that handled. What is the address, and is anyone in the home allergic to stings?
CallerMy son is. 9 Elm Court.
Alex (AI)Thank you. I am marking this as a priority. I have a technician available tomorrow at 9 AM. Does that work?
Example call. Priority rules are set by you.
The calls pest control companies get, and how Alex handles them
Active infestations
Alex asks what pest, where it is and how long it has been going on, then books the first slot or flags it as urgent.
Stinging insects
Wasp, hornet and bee calls flagged when anyone in the home is allergic, according to your rules.
Termite and wildlife
Captured as inspection requests with details for the right technician.
Recurring plans
New plan sign-ups and existing customer reschedules taken and texted to you.
What Alex asks every caller
We set Alex up with the questions your best office manager would ask, so every lead arrives with what you need to call back, quote or dispatch. You can add or change questions at any time.
- Name and best callback number
- Service address
- What pest they are seeing
- Where in or around the home
- How long it has been going on
- Anyone allergic, or children or pets in the home
- Home or business
- Preferred appointment time
Urgent calls
You decide what counts as urgent: stinging insects with an allergy in the home, wildlife inside the living space, a restaurant with an inspection coming. Alex flags those and texts you right away.
What a pest control website needs to rank
People search by pest and by town: "termite inspection Leesburg", "mouse exterminator near me", "wasp nest removal". Sites that rank have a page per pest or service, a page per town, and clear information about safety for children and pets, which is the first worry most callers have.
Pages a pest control site should have
- General pest control
- Rodent control
- Termite inspection and treatment
- Stinging insects
- Mosquito control
- Wildlife removal, if you offer it
- One page per town you serve
Spring swarms and the late-summer stinging insect season bring the biggest spikes. Alex answers all of them at once.
Questions from pest control companies
Can the AI receptionist sell recurring pest plans?
Alex can explain the plans you offer, using your own descriptions, and capture people who want to sign up. Pricing is only shared if you choose to.
Will it give advice about chemicals or safety?
Only the information you approve. Questions it cannot answer are passed to you with the caller's details.
Can it handle commercial accounts?
Yes. Alex asks whether the call is for a home or a business and routes restaurants, offices and property managers the way you want.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. Your number stays the same. You forward missed calls, after-hours calls or every call to Alex, and you can change that whenever you want.
