# The AI receptionist for pest control that books the inspection on the first call An AI receptionist for pest control companies answers every call in your name, 24/7. It finds out what pest the caller is seeing, where and for how long, whether it’s a home, apartment or business, books the inspection or treatment into Jobber or Housecall Pro, and texts you a summary so your techs arrive with the right products. ## Why pest control companies miss calls - **Panicked callers want an answer now:** Someone who just found bed bugs on the mattress or a mouse in the kitchen is upset and ready to book. If they reach voicemail, they call the next exterminator immediately, and that first visit often turns into a recurring plan. - **Spring and summer overload the office:** Ants, termite swarms, wasps and mosquitoes all show up at once when the weather warms. Your office can’t keep up with the calls while also scheduling routes, and recurring customers get stuck on hold. - **Every pest needs different prep:** A bed bug treatment, a termite inspection and a yellow jacket nest removal all need different details and customer prep. Missing those on the call means rescheduled visits and unhappy customers. ## Calls Vocenya answers for pest control companies - Bed bug inspection or treatment - Mice or rats in the home - Termite swarm or damage inspection - Wasp, hornet or yellow jacket nest - Ants, roaches or spiders - Recurring quarterly service plan - Commercial or restaurant pest service ## How does an AI receptionist help pest control companies grow? Pest control lives on first visits that become recurring plans. An AI receptionist answers every call on the first ring, identifies the pest, and books the inspection before the caller shops around. It captures the property type, how long the problem has lasted, and whether there are pets or children in the home. The appointment goes into Jobber, Housecall Pro or your calendar, and the summary goes to you by text, so your route stays full. ## Can the AI answer questions about treatments and prep? Yes, using the information on your website and in your notes. It can explain what happens during a bed bug inspection, how customers should prepare for a treatment, how long to stay out of the home if you use a product that requires it, and whether your treatments are pet friendly. It doesn’t make up answers. If something isn’t in your materials, it takes a message for a technician to follow up. ## Does it handle stinging insect and wildlife urgency? You set the rules. A wasp nest by the front door with a child allergic to stings, or a bat in the living room, can be marked urgent and sent to your on-call tech or warm-transferred to a person. A few ants on the counter gets the next open route slot. That keeps your techs working the calls that matter most first, without anyone in the office sorting voicemails. It also keeps a record of each call, so you can see how urgent situations were handled. ## Can it sell and schedule recurring service plans? It can describe your quarterly or monthly plans the way you write them and capture interest for your team to follow up, or book the first service visit directly. When existing plan customers call to reschedule, it moves the visit into another open slot. Appointment reminder calls help cut down on visits where nobody is home and the gate is locked. Plan customers get a quick answer, which helps them stay with you year after year. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can the AI tell callers what pest they have? It can ask what they’re seeing and share general information from your website, but it doesn’t diagnose. It collects a clear description, and your technician identifies the pest during the inspection. That keeps your company’s advice accurate and consistent, and avoids telling a caller they have termites when it turns out to be flying ants. ### Does it work with landlords and property managers? Yes. It captures the building address, the affected units, the tenant’s contact information and who is authorizing and paying for the work. That’s important for bed bug and rodent jobs in multifamily buildings where access and prep involve several people. ### Can it book into my routing software? It books into Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Google Calendar and Microsoft 365, and sends leads into Jobber and Housecall Pro. You set the time slots and job lengths for each type of service, so a bed bug heat treatment isn’t booked into a slot meant for a quick ant spray. ### Will it handle commercial accounts? Yes. Restaurants, warehouses and offices get their business name, contact, service address and pest issue captured, and can be routed to a separate commercial calendar or person. The assistant can also give your commercial service hours and note whether the visit must happen before opening or after close. ### How do I try it?
