Thanks for calling GreenGuard Pest. What are you seeing — ants, roaches, rodents, termites, or something seasonal like mosquitoes?
We keep seeing roaches in the kitchen.
Sorry about that. Is it a single-family home or an apartment, and have you had any treatment in the last year?
Single family. No treatment in a while.
Thanks. Our quarterly plan covers roaches and includes a free re-treatment between visits if they come back. Would you prefer a Saturday or a weekday visit?
Saturday morning works.
I have Saturday 9:00–11:00 AM open. Address, name and best number?
31 Bayberry Ln, Elena Ford, 555-0134.
Booked for Saturday 9–11 AM at 31 Bayberry Ln. Text confirmation and pre-visit prep tips are on the way.
Industry context
How pest control work actually comes in
Pest control is a recurring-revenue business: one-time treatments start relationships that live or die on the quarterly route.
Seasonal surges
Termite swarm season, ant and rodent peaks, and summer mosquito demand that spike the phones.
One-time & inspection
Termite and WDO inspections, bed bugs, wildlife and specialty treatments — quoted, then often converted to a plan.
New customers are only half the business. The other half is keeping the quarterly route intact, renewing plans on time and winning the recurring contract on the first call.
Praktivo quotes the right plan, books the tech and runs the renewal cadence so routes stay full.

- Re-treatment requests that were never scheduled.

Follow-up sequence
A termite inspection, followed up properly
Termite and WDO work is a considered decision with real paperwork — follow-up has to be patient.
Termite inspection — Day 0 to Day 21
- Day 0Inspection findings and treatment options sent.
- Day 1“Any questions on the warranty or the treatment method?”
- Day 3Explains the process and the WDO report step.
- Day 7Offers a short call; stops instantly on reply.
- Day 14Notes that swarm season is active and treatment slots fill.
- Day 21Final touch, then nurture and revisit next season.
Sequences stop automatically the moment a customer replies or opts out.
Human in control
What stays human
The agent quotes and schedules. Your technicians and inspectors own the treatment.
- Pricing exceptions and any commercial commitment.
- Termite, WDO and specialty inspection conclusions.
- Treatment method and product decisions.
- Safety and compliance judgement.
- Anyone who asks for a person — transferred immediately.
Approval before it goes out

No invented pricing, policies or appointments. A person always owns the final call on money and scope.

FAQ
Pest control questions, answered
What owners ask before automating quotes and renewals.
Can the AI quote my plans accurately?
Yes. It only uses the plan structure, pricing rules and guarantees you approve, and routes anything outside that scope — termite, WDO, specialty — to a human.
Will customers know it is AI?
It introduces itself as an assistant. Most callers care that they got a fast answer and a booked visit. You control the wording.
How does it help with renewals?
It tracks contract dates, reminds customers before they lapse and rebooks the next visit — the quiet revenue most businesses lose.
Does it integrate with our CRM or routing software?
We build around common pest-control CRMs and routing tools and are honest when a native connection is not available.
What happens during peak season?
Every call is answered concurrently, so a termite-swarm or mosquito-season surge does not become a voicemail backlog.
Can it handle re-treatment requests?
Yes — it schedules free re-treatments inside the guarantee window and logs the reason on the customer record.
