An AI receptionist for pest control companies

You can't check your phone with your head in a crawlspace. CallerIQ answers for you when you're mid-treatment, in the attic, or driving to the next stop. It finds out who's calling, what pest they've got, and how bad it is, then sends you a clean summary so you can call back the second you're clear.

A REAL CALL

A homeowner calls at half past nine at night after spotting a line of carpenter ants crossing her kitchen counter.

CallerIQ: "Thanks for calling Greenline Pest Control. Who am I speaking with, and what's going on?" Caller: "I've got ants all over my kitchen, it's kind of freaking me out." CallerIQ: "I hear you. Can I get the address, and are you seeing just a few or a steady trail?" Caller: "A steady trail, coming from behind the fridge." CallerIQ: "Got it. What's the best number to reach you at?" Caller gives her number. CallerIQ: "You're all set. Someone from the team will call you back to get this scheduled."

The owner wakes up to a summary: caller name, address, pest type (carpenter ants), severity noted as active trail, and a callback number, ready to book first thing.

The calls you're losing

Why pest control companies miss calls

You're under the house, not on the phone

Crawlspaces and attics don't get cell signal, and you can't answer with a sprayer in your hand anyway. Every call during a treatment used to go to voicemail. Now CallerIQ picks it up, gets the pest type and address, and lets you finish the job.

Pests don't wait for business hours

People spot roaches or ants at night and want it handled right away. If your phone rings through to voicemail, they call the next company on the list. CallerIQ answers, gets the details, and hands you a lead you can call back in the morning instead of losing it.

Quarterly customers all call at once

When a treatment cycle comes due, scheduling calls stack up fast. Mixed in with new infestation calls, it's easy to lose track of who needs what. CallerIQ sorts each one, takes the message, and sends you a clean list instead of a pile of missed calls.

A missed call is a call to your competitor

Someone with ants in the kitchen or termites in the wall doesn't wait around. If you don't pick up, they dial the next name they find. CallerIQ answers every time, so that lead lands in your summary instead of someone else's schedule.

How it works

Three steps, one dial code.

01

Forward your missed calls

One dial code sets up conditional call forwarding with your carrier. Your number stays your number; only the calls you don’t answer route to CallerIQ.

02

CallerIQ answers

It greets the caller in the voice and greeting you chose, finds out who they are and what they need, and captures the details, using only the business information you gave it.

03

You get the summary

Who called, why, and what to do next, in a clean report you can read in seconds. Real callers get through; spam doesn’t.

What your callers hearCallers hear a clear, friendly voice that greets them the way you told it to and asks what's going on. It says plainly that it's an AI receptionist for your business, not a person, then gets the pest type, address, severity, and a callback number. No hold music, no dead air, no guessing whether the call went through.
And the spam?Pest control companies get hit with a steady stream of calls from chemical suppliers and route-buying brokers trying to sell you leads or products. CallerIQ recognizes these calls, turns them away, and can happily waste their time instead of yours. Real customers get through and get handled. Spam gets nothing.
Questions

What pest control companys ask us

Do I need a new phone number for this?+
No. CallerIQ works through carrier call forwarding on your existing business number. There's no new number to give out and no hardware to install.
What happens on a call about active termites versus a routine quarterly visit?+
CallerIQ asks the same core questions either way: who's calling, the pest type, severity, address, and a callback number. Urgent-sounding calls and routine scheduling calls both land in your summary, clearly labeled, so you can prioritize your callbacks.
Can I turn it off if I'm free and want to take calls myself?+
Yes. One dial code turns call forwarding off and your calls ring straight through to you. Turn it back on whenever you're back in the field.
Will it try to sound like a person?+
No. It tells callers it's an AI receptionist. Customers still get their questions answered and their details taken, they just always know who they're talking to.
How does it handle the calls from suppliers and brokers trying to sell me something?+
CallerIQ is set up to recognize these calls, turn them away, and keep them off your summary. Only real customer calls, with real details, make it to you.
