For pest control companies
The best AI receptionist
for pest control companies.
Rats and roaches don't leave voicemails.
A Saturday morning, told straight
A rat in the kitchen is the most disgusting £450 your week will hear ringing.
It's a Sunday morning. A mum has just seen a rat dart across the kitchen floor while making toast. She does not want it in the house another night. She searches "pest control near me same day" and starts ringing.
You're on a job in someone else's loft, head torch on, sealing entry points. Phone is in the van. The call rings out. By the time you climb down, she has booked someone else for that afternoon. £380 for the initial treatment, £200 for the follow-up two weeks later, plus the proofing job at £600 if she likes you. £1,180 walks past your van.
Foan picks up while you're working. Asks what she's seen, where, when she first noticed it, whether there are kids or pets in the house. Books the treatment and texts you with the address, the species suspected, and the urgency rating. You finish the loft, drive over, walk in already knowing what kit to grab.
The thing about pest control is the calls are panic-driven. People who see a rat or a wasp nest will book the first company that picks up calmly. They are not price-shopping. They want it dealt with today.
Most pest companies we talk to miss 4–8 calls a week to active jobs, average ticket £400–£900. Even four at £400 is £6,400 a month walking past your van. Foan costs £49.
Same pattern works for wasp nests, mice, bedbugs, cockroaches, and the recurring commercial contracts that follow a clean first job.
