Live demoWhat is a pest control answering service?
A pest control answering service answers calls for exterminators and pest control companies when the office can't. Sesla's AI answering service responds 24/7, identifies the pest and severity, books inspections or treatments, answers plan questions, and escalates urgent cases like stinging insects or rodents indoors.
The problem with missed calls
Callers want help today
Someone who just found mice in the kitchen calls until a company answers.
Recurring-plan questions tie up the office
Billing and schedule questions take time your team could spend booking new jobs.
An answering service for pest control companies that knows the questions to ask
Pest identification intake
Asks what the caller saw, where, and how often, so your tech arrives prepared.
Inspection & treatment booking
Books inspections and treatments on your calendar in the windows you set.
Recurring plan and billing questions
Answers plan and billing questions with the information you approve.
Urgent escalation
Bees or wasps near people, rodents indoors, or bed bugs at a rental go straight to your on-call contact.
