Pest control answering service
Running a pest control company means managing on-site treatments, scheduling, unpredictable work hours, and customers who expect immediate attention. When it’s peak season or you’re shorthanded, missing calls isn’t just inconvenient—it directly affects your bottom line.
Upfirst is ready to support and answer calls 24/7
Our pest control answering service was built to help you focus on your work without worrying about incoming phone calls going unanswered. With fully customizable friendly virtual receptionists, we’ll ensure every caller is greeted and guided, even during after-hours or busy days. No more rushed voicemails or frustrated customers trying to reach you. Instead, let us handle the front lines of your communication while you focus on what you do best—eliminating pests and making clients happy. It’s time to boost your customer experience, reduce stress, and keep growing your pest control business.
See what businesses in the pest control industry can gain from our answering service.
Missed calls can happen at any hour—whether you’re driving between job sites, spraying a client’s attic, or swamped with paperwork. With our pest control answering service, your phones are covered around the clock. This means prospects and returning customers can reach a live, knowledgeable professional no matter when they call.
Being readily available increases trust and reduces the chance customers look elsewhere for help. Our goal is to give your callers confidence that their concerns will be handled with care, even if you’re not physically in the office.
A friendly voice on the other end of the line does wonders for your brand reputation. Many potential customers with pest problems start their search for a pest control specialist after an unpleasant discovery—a nest of wasps, signs of termite damage, or constant rodent sightings. They’re anxious for solutions and need reassurance that you can take care of the problem as soon as possible.
By getting immediate answers, appointment availability, and clear instructions without having to leave a voicemail, a high percentage of callers will turn into paying clients.
Dealing with pests is already demanding—you need to maintain chemicals, handle equipment, keep your certifications current, and ensure customers’ safety. Having an in-house receptionist or taking calls yourself can be a time drain, especially during peak season.
Our answering service for pest control captures those incoming calls, logs each caller’s details, and routes them in the way you’ve set up. That means you can direct your full attention to treatments and follow-up visits. Instead of worrying about how many calls you’ve missed, you can stay on-site longer, get the job done right the first time, and leave your customers impressed.
Hiring full-time reception staff can be expensive. Salary, benefits, and training add up fast. Even hiring part-time employees involves overhead and coordination. Our pest control call answering service offers a flexible, affordable approach without requiring you to keep someone on your own payroll.
Whether you’re a small operation trying to keep expenses lean or a growing firm that needs more coverage, our service adapts to the call volume and scheduling you need. You cut down on expenses while keeping friendly receptionists on hand, which frees up resources to invest in other areas of your business, such as better equipment or expanded marketing efforts.
We know you don’t have time for complex systems that take weeks to learn. Setting up our virtual receptionist service is quick: sign up, configure your greeting, provide your business details, and let us know how you want your calls handled. If you already have a dedicated business phone number, great—we’ll forward those calls directly. If not, we'll provide a new local or toll-free number.
The entire process can be done online and completed in less than an hour. Before you know it, you’ll have a professional phone presence that feels like an extension of your own brand.
Upfirst is designed with key features for pest control services and exterminators to offer exceptional customer support and keep their operations running smoothly.
We’re available whenever your customers need you. Early morning, late at night, or weekends—no call will go unanswered.
Leave the back-and-forth of finding open slots to us. We’ll access your calendar and book appointments, eliminating missed opportunities.
If you prefer to handle certain calls yourself—like urgent calls or a loyal customer who has a specific question—we can forward specific calls or categories to your personal line.
Want your callers to hear a specific welcome message or need to follow a particular protocol for urgent pest emergencies? Tailor our scripts to match your brand voice and exact instructions.
Expanding your customer base is easier when you can communicate with more people. We offer bilingual call handling so you can serve a wider audience.
Every call is documented with key details such as caller name, number, and reason for calling. Afterward, you’ll receive a concise summary so you can follow up when it’s convenient.
We can plug right into the tools you’re already using, whether that’s a CRM, scheduling software, or marketing platform. All data can be synced automatically, reducing manual work.
quick, easy setup
In just a few minutes, you could set up a team of virtual receptionists ready to support, sell, and schedule appointments for your pest control customers.
Begin by creating an account. You can use your existing business phone number, or request a new local or toll-free line. We also offer 800 numbers if that suits your brand’s needs.
Next, configure your greeting message and choose your AI’s voice. Provide our team with your business details, service areas, pricing, and scheduling protocols so we can handle calls accurately. We’ll test a few sample calls to verify that everything sounds exactly like you want it to. If something’s off, no worries—just edit the settings and we’ll adjust.
When you’re happy with the setup, simply click “Activate.” From that moment on, your AI receptionist will handle all incoming calls. Your customers receive a professional greeting, the right information, and a seamless path to schedule an appointment or leave a message if needed. Meanwhile, you’ll get notified about new leads and messages on your own schedule.
Answering services for all
While this service benefits pest control companies, many other industries also see immediate benefits:

Insurance agents can stay organized and avoid missing leads by letting calls route through our dedicated platform.
Real estate agents, vet offices, even towing companies can also see benefits from our answering service, and ensure no one is left on hold or waiting for a callback. If your business constantly takes calls, offering customer support and scheduling appointments, Upfirst has got your back.

What are the benefits of your pest control answering service?
Our service offers round-the-clock coverage, tailored messaging, and appointment scheduling. You can free up your time to focus on treatments, on-site visits, and growing your business, rather than being tied to the phone.
Can it handle multiple calls at the same time?
Absolutely. Our system is designed to handle multiple incoming calls so that your customers never reach a busy line, making it a suitable option for businesses that need overflow reception services.
How much does your service cost?
We've designed Upfirst to be accessible for firms of all sizes. Unlike traditional answering services that charge by the minute and can run hundreds of dollars monthly, our service starts at just $24.95 for 30 calls. This makes professional phone coverage affordable for growing practices.
Can Upfirst collect payment information?
Yes, if you want us to help with payment collection or deposits for service visits for later processing, we can securely gather that information following industry standards.
Are you able to book appointments?
Of course. Appointment scheduling is a core feature. We integrate with your preferred calendar system to find open slots, confirm bookings, and even send automated reminders if you’d like.
Can I listen to recordings?
Yes. Call recording is available to ensure quality and offer you insight into how interactions are handled. You can review recordings at your convenience, perfect for training or verifying customer information.
Can your service integrate with my CRM and other tools?
We offer pest control call center services that integrate with many popular platforms. Let us know which CRM or software you use, and we’ll see if our system connects easily. This keeps your database organized and up to date.
Do you offer 24/7 live call service?
Yes, our coverage is available at all hours. Whether it’s 3 a.m. or 3 p.m., you can rest assured that your phone lines are monitored by our AI that is trained to handle your specific pest control inquiries.
Do you offer multiple language options?
We do. English and Spanish support is standard, but if you have a particular language request, we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Can I receive call updates in my email or text?
We’ll send you messages in whichever format works best for your routine—email, SMS, or even direct Slack notifications. You’ll stay informed without having to constantly watch the phone.
How much money will I save compared to hiring in-house staff?
That depends on your call volume and level of service. However, many pest control businesses save thousands of dollars annually by using our service instead of a full-time or part-time receptionist. Rather than pay the salary of an in-house receptionist (average salary is $36,000/year), you pay one affordable monthly plan, starting at $24.95/mo.
Answer every caller and capture every lead - even when you're busy on the job site. Our answering service for pest control handles your phone lines 24/7.
