Industry Challenges

Challenges Pest Controls Face Daily

Understanding the unique pressures of pest control businesses helps us deliver better solutions.

Answering Calls While Treating Properties

When you're in a crawl space treating termites or spraying in an attic, reaching for your phone is impossible. Missed calls often mean lost jobs to competitors who answer first.

Pest control businesses report losing 35% of new customer calls when technicians can't answer during treatments.

Urgent Infestation Calls Need Immediate Response

A caller discovering a wasp nest near their entrance or rats in their kitchen needs immediate help. If they reach voicemail, they'll keep calling until someone answers.

Emergency pest calls convert at 3x the rate of standard service calls when answered immediately.

Seasonal Surge Management

Spring and summer bring explosive call volumes for ants, wasps, and mosquitoes. Your regular call handling capacity gets overwhelmed precisely when opportunities are greatest.

Pest control companies experience 200-300% call volume increases during peak seasons.

After-Hours Wildlife and Rodent Emergencies

Homeowners who hear scratching in their walls at midnight or find a raccoon in their garage can't wait until morning. These callers need immediate reassurance and scheduling.

40% of wildlife removal calls come outside regular business hours.
