You are treating a house, in a crawl space, or driving to your next stop — not next to a phone. When a call rings out, Never-Miss-a-Lead texts that customer back in under a minute and puts the lead in one inbox, so a scorpion call at 7pm books with you instead of the next name on the list.
$199 setup + $99/month — $298 first month total, then $99/month
Month-to-month — cancel anytime, no long contract. Live by the date we agree, or your setup fee comes back in full — guaranteed.
Free trial: 14 days on the website-form path — every form fill gets an instant reply by email. No card, and the trial stops on its own at day 14. Text replies aren’t part of the trial: they need carrier registration, which starts with the plan. To continue, it’s $199 setup + $99/month.
What happens when a pest control call is missed
A homeowner calls about a scorpion in the living room, a wasp nest over the front door, or ants all over the kitchen. You are treating another house and the call rings out.
Under a minute later, their phone buzzes: a text that says you got the call and asks what is happening at the house.
Their reply lands in one inbox, flagged urgent if they mention a scorpion inside the home or stinging insects at the entry, so you call back the right job first.
Sample moment
Sample: Friday, 7:40 PM. A homeowner finds a scorpion in the living room with kids in the house. The owner is finishing his last stop across town, his phone in the truck. The customer gets a text in under a minute: “Sorry we missed you — reply with what's happening at the house and we'll get you on the board.” She replies “scorpion in the living room, second one this week,” and the lead lands in the owner's inbox flagged “Urgent — scorpion inside home.” He calls back before he leaves the driveway and puts her first on the route in the morning. She stops calling down the list.
A sample moment — this is how it works, shown with made-up names.
Why the first reply matters
If you advertise on Google Local Services Ads, a missed call can now cost you money on top of the lost job. Since October 1, 2026, Google can charge a missed call during your posted hours as a lead when the caller stays on the line over 20 seconds (the timer starts after a phone-menu keypress). You pay for the lead and the conversation never happened. A text back inside a minute is what turns that call into a conversation instead.
Pest calls do not wait politely. A scorpion in the living room, wasps over the front door, roaches in the kitchen — a homeowner wants that handled tonight or first thing tomorrow, and keeps dialing until somebody answers. The company that replies first is the company that gets the job.
The LSA rule is Google's, as announced. Neither point above is a count of your company's calls. Your missed calls are the number that counts. The math below uses your numbers, not ours.
Do the math with your own numbers
Calls you miss in a week × 4.33 weeks in a month × your average job ticket × the share of those jobs you would have won. The ticket below starts at $250 as an example — put in what a one-time treatment or first visit actually runs at your company. One saved job a month covers the $99 several times over for most companies. If your number comes out under $99, do not buy it.

Questions pest control owners ask
What does a customer get when I miss their call?
A text back in under a minute, day or night. It says you got their call and asks what they need. Their reply lands in one inbox, and urgent jobs are flagged first.
I spend the day on a route. Is this built for me?
Yes. Route techs miss the most calls, because the person who would answer the phone is treating a house or driving to the next stop. You do not need an office for this to work. If someone already answers every call of yours right away, you do not need this.
Does it answer my phone live?
No. It follows up by text after a call is missed. If you want a voice to pick up the call itself, see the AI Phone Receptionist from Northbeam Builds.
What does it cost a pest control company, in total?
$199 to set it up, then $99 a month. The first month is $298 total. Month-to-month, no long contract, and no per-message bill.
How long does setup take?
You fill in a short form, about five minutes, with your hours, services, and where leads should go. We build it, you test it on your own phone, then it goes live. Text replies need a carrier registration that takes 2–5 business days. The email path goes live right away.
