Pest control · STN 02 — Answer
Missed calls,
un-missed.
They want it gone today and they will call three companies to find who can. First answer usually wins. A text goes out before the voicemail beep would have finished. Without it, the call goes to voicemail, no message is left, and the job goes to whoever answers next — and for pest control and termite inspection businesses, that adds up to $20,100 a year.

What it is costing now
$20,100
a year for pest control and termite inspection businesses. Struck through because it is recoverable.
Based on 8 unanswered enquiries a month at $380 average job value, of which 55% would have converted. Your leak audit uses your numbers, not these.
What changes
A text goes out before the voicemail beep would have finished.
When a call rings out, a text is sent to that number within seconds asking what they need. Most people never leave a voicemail, but almost everyone answers a text. It is the fastest win on the line and usually the one that pays for the whole system in the first month. On the line this sits at station 2, answer — the point where enquiries either turn into jobs or quietly stop. At this ticket you need many jobs, so every unanswered call matters more than it feels like it should.

Straight answers
Missed-call text-back for pest control — questions people ask
- Won't people be annoyed by an automated text?
- They called you. A text back in ten seconds reads as attentive, not automated. The version that annoys people is the one that never comes.
- Can it book same-day treatments?
- Yes, within whatever same-day capacity you set. Urgency is the whole purchase in pest control, so the booking rules are built around what you can actually reach today.
- Will it remind people about annual inspections?
- Automatically, from your own job history. It is the single biggest source of recurring revenue most pest businesses are not collecting.
