CALLERHi — we just found roaches in our kitchen and I'm freaking out a little. How soon can someone come?
DEREKI completely understand — we can usually get someone out next-day, and same-day for urgent situations. How widespread is it — one room or more?
✓ Reassures, then qualifies severity — exactly how a good CSR sets up the visit.
CALLERJust the kitchen so far. What does a treatment cost?
DEREKGeneral treatments start at $129, and our quarterly protection plans start at $39 a month — if pests come back between visits, we re-treat free. What's the address?
✓ Pricing and the guarantee straight from the FAQs you upload — plan upsell included, naturally.

The math

What missed calls cost a pest control company.

First ringPest callers book the first company that answers. Second place gets nothing.
$470+First-year value of a quarterly plan customer — the real prize behind every panic call.
SeasonalSpring and summer surges flood your line exactly when techs can't answer.
3 missed calls/week × $470 first-year plan value × 52 weeks = $73,320/yr  signing with your competitor.

We charge by the minute, so your bill depends on your call volume. Slide to your numbers — we'll show the math at every plan and highlight the cheapest.

Compare: a human answering service runs $200–500/mo to take messages. A front desk hire: $3,200+/mo.

Don't know your numbers? Find them in 2 minutes.

The 30-second way: open your phone's call history and count yesterday's business calls. Most service calls run about 3 minutes.
Your phone bill (your CDRs): every carrier and VoIP provider — Verizon, AT&T, RingCentral, Grasshopper — has a usage or call-log page showing each call and its length. That export is your call detail record. Total the month, you're done.
Already use an answering service? Its monthly report states exactly how many calls it handled. That's your floor — it misses the ones it never got.
Estimate high if unsure — there's no penalty. Start at $0/mo, watch your first real month of usage in the dashboard, and pick a plan only when the math says so.
How it works

More than an answering service.

01

Answers every call

Panic calls and routine reschedules — every one picked up, no hold.

02

Answers their questions

Treatment pricing, safety questions, your guarantee — from the FAQs you upload. Pest + address captured.

03

Sends you the job

Full lead by text and email the second the call ends — you book the route.

04

Escalates the unusual

Wasp nests near kids, severe infestations, commercial accounts — you get a call, not a message.

Straight answers

What pest control owners ask us.

What if it can't answer something?

It never guesses. Derek tells the caller a representative will call them back with the answer, captures their name and number, and sends it to you instantly. Anything urgent still escalates to your phone right away.

Does it work with my current number?

Yes. Forward your existing line — nothing about your number, trucks, or workflow changes. Live in about 5 minutes.

How is this different from my answering service?

An answering service takes a message you call back. Derek answers the caller's questions from your own FAQs, captures the pest + address, and sends you everything by text and email instantly — for a fraction of the monthly cost.

What does it cost?

Pay per call. Starts at $0/mo at $0.40/min, dropping to $0.20/min on bigger plans. No setup fees, cancel anytime.

The honest part

What happens when Derek doesn't know.

The question every owner should ask about an AI on their phones.

He never guesses.If a caller asks something outside the FAQs you uploaded, Derek doesn't improvise an answer. He says a representative will call them back with the answer — and captures their name and number so you can.
You see everything.Every call gets a full transcript and summary. If something ever sounds off, you'll see exactly what was said — word for word.
You're in control.Update the FAQs anytime and Derek knows it on the next call. And if it's not for you, turn it off and cancel — no contract, no setup fees to walk away from.

Starts at $0/mo. Pay per call.

Per-minute rates from $0.40 down to $0.20 as you grow. No setup fees. Cancel anytime.
