Pest Control Calls
Same-day call triage for pest control teams
A bounded intake routine for new infestations, service callbacks, access questions, and urgent pest-control calls.
Identify the service relationship first
Ask whether this is a new inquiry, an existing appointment, or a callback about completed work. Capture the service address, safe callback number, pest described in the caller's own words, where it was seen, and when. Avoid turning a caller's description into a species diagnosis.
Define what “same day” means
The office should publish the hours, service area, cutoff, and capacity rule behind same-day requests. The call assistant may check an approved schedule or create a priority message. They should not guarantee arrival, quote unapproved treatment, or advise a caller to handle chemicals.
Route exposure and safety reports
People, pets, food areas, active stings, and possible chemical exposure need the company's named escalation path. When someone reports immediate danger or a medical emergency, follow the approved emergency language. The assistant records what the caller said without offering medical or pesticide advice.
Finish with a precise handoff
Read back the address, access constraints, contact preference, request type, and next step. If no technician has accepted the request, say that plainly. “Sent for review” and “booked” are different outcomes.
