When someone finds termites or a wasp nest, they're not leaving a voicemail. They're calling every pest control company until someone picks up. At $250 average per treatment, those calls add up fast.
(615) 784-5747Pest emergencies don't follow business hours. When someone has bugs, they want help now. Here's what's happening right now to your business.
It's spring and termite swarmers are everywhere. A panicked homeowner finds wings on their windowsill at 7 PM and calls you. Voicemail. They call the next company. That's a $1,500-$3,000 termite treatment you'll never see -- and the annual renewal contract that comes with it.
A family finds a wasp nest by their back door on Saturday afternoon. The kids can't play outside. They need someone today. They call three companies -- whoever picks up first gets the $200 removal job. If you're on another call or at a job site, it's gone.
A homeowner hears scratching in the attic at 11 PM. They're not sleeping until someone tells them what to do. They call you, hit voicemail, and start searching "24 hour pest control near me." By morning, they've already booked with your competitor.
Summer hits and everyone wants their yard treated for mosquitoes. You're out spraying all day and can't answer the phone. Every missed call during peak season is a $75-$150 monthly treatment contract -- recurring revenue that goes to the company that picks up.
It's after hours or you're on a job site. Instead of voicemail, our AI receptionist answers with your company name, sounding like a real member of your team.
The receptionist gathers their name, address, phone, what type of pest they're dealing with, severity, and whether anyone has allergies or safety concerns. For emergencies, it flags the call as urgent.
Within seconds, you receive a text and email with the customer's info, pest type, location details, and urgency level. Emergency calls are flagged so you can dispatch immediately.
Start with after-hours coverage to see it work. Upgrade to full 24/7 when you're ready.
Catch every after-hours pest call -- termite emergencies at night, wasp removal requests on weekends, rodent calls after closing. Cover the hours when panicked homeowners are desperately searching for help.
Handles every single call -- business hours included. Manages overflow during peak season, answers while your techs are on jobs, books every appointment, and handles emergency dispatching.
One termite inspection or two standard treatments pays for the entire month. Most pest control companies capture 10-20 extra calls per month.
Termite season used to be a nightmare. My phone would blow up and I'd miss half the calls because I was out doing inspections. First spring with The Call Taker, we captured 14 extra termite leads in one month. At $2,000 average per treatment, that's $28,000 we would have lost.
A homeowner called at 9 PM freaking out about rats in her kitchen. The AI calmed her down, got all the details, and I had a tech out there by 8 AM the next morning. She signed up for a monthly plan -- that's $150/month recurring revenue from one after-hours call I used to miss.
We're a two-truck operation. When both techs are out spraying, nobody answers the phone. We were probably losing 5-8 calls a day during mosquito season. The Call Taker books the appointments and we just show up. Added $3,200 in recurring monthly contracts last quarter alone.
