Can the AI identify the pest?

It asks structured questions (what, where, when, how many) to match the caller to the right service. Your technician confirms on site.

What does it say about pet and child safety?

Only your approved wording about the products you use. For medical concerns it tells callers to contact their doctor, vet or Poison Control.

Can it sell service plans?

Yes. It explains your plan's coverage and price and can offer it after booking a one-time treatment.

Can it explain prep instructions?

Yes. It walks customers through your preparation steps before a treatment, such as bed-bug prep, and appointment reminders can follow up by text before the visit.

Does it handle commercial accounts?

Yes. It captures business type, access and compliance notes for commercial service.

Can it prioritize urgent pests?

Yes. You define urgency rules, such as stinging insects near entrances or rodents indoors.

How long does setup take?

Website chat can be live in about 15 minutes for most businesses. For calls, forward your existing line, or get a new number (in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and a few other countries it is connected in seconds; most other countries, including the UK, Australia, Germany and the Philippines, need business documents first, which takes 1-3 business days; in some countries you confirm a monthly local-number fee on the card first; and where no local number is offered you get a US (+1) number in seconds).

How much does an AI answering service for pest control cost per month?

For a pest control company, the price depends mostly on which channels your customers use and how many calls you get each month. Frontivo.io's Phone Only plan is $199/month with 300 AI voice minutes (about 100 calls), live call transfer and missed-call text-back. Starter is $299/month and adds website chat and texting; Growth is $549/month and adds Instagram, Messenger and email. Prices are in US dollars, there is no setup fee or contract, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no card. See pricing.

Does it text back missed calls?

Yes. If someone calling your pest control company hangs up or the call can't be answered, they get a text right away. Missed-call text-back comes with Phone Only, Phone Lite, Starter and Growth. On Starter and Growth the AI carries on the conversation by text; on Phone Only and Phone Lite, a reply to that text comes to you as an alert so you can answer from your own phone. Texting switches on after carrier approval for your number (every US business number needs it); outside the US and Canada texts use more of your allowance, so website chat, Instagram and Messenger usually cost less there.

Can it transfer an urgent call to me live?

Yes. When a caller to your pest control company asks for a person or the call is urgent, Frontivo.io transfers it live to the one number your team chooses on Phone Only, Phone Lite, Starter and Growth, and the person picking up hears a short spoken brief before the caller is connected; time on the transferred call counts toward your minutes. Routing different calls to several people or departments is not available yet. Website Chat Only, Text Only, Instagram Only, Messenger Only and Email Only hand off with a detailed message and an instant alert instead.

Does Frontivo.io work for pest control outside the US?

Yes. Frontivo.io serves pest control in almost every country (the few we don't serve are listed on the countries page). Website chat and email work everywhere; for calls and texts you get a local number in 40+ countries (some with a monthly local-number fee shown before setup) or a US number in any other country we serve. WhatsApp is coming soon. The country-by-country table is at countries.

Answered in seconds

There's a big wasp nest right above my front door. My kids are scared to go outside.

That's definitely one we prioritize. Roughly how big is the nest, and is it under the roof edge or inside a wall?

About the size of a football, under the porch roof.

Thanks. Is anyone in the home allergic to stings?

Why pest control companies miss revenue

Pest problems feel urgent to homeowners — nobody wants to wait until Monday with wasps at the door or signs of bed bugs. Seasonal swarms create call spikes, and technicians in the field cannot answer. A missed call can cost not just one treatment but a potential recurring service plan.

How does Frontivo.io handle a wasp-nest call?

Prices and names are examples — Frontivo.io only quotes the prices and details you give it.

How do you set up an AI receptionist for a pest control company?

1
Tell Frontivo.io about your pest control company: services, prices, hours and service area — type them in or import an FAQ or services page from your website.
2
Set your rules — what counts as urgent, when to transfer to a person, and which times can be booked — then test every channel in the Channel Tester.
3
Forward your business line (or get a new Frontivo.io number: in seconds in the US and Canada, after a documents check in most other countries) and paste one line of code to add the chat and voice widget to your website.

What to add to your knowledge base

General pest control
Quarterly / monthly service plans
Stinging insects (wasps, hornets, bees)

Bed bug treatment and prep
Mosquito and tick treatments
Commercial pest control

Works with the tools you already use

Your business phone number. Forward your existing line, or get a new number.
Google & Outlook Calendar. Checks live availability before it books, so slots aren't double-booked.
Website chat, text, Instagram, Messenger & email. One AI receptionist answers on every channel with the same knowledge (Instagram, Messenger and email are on Growth, or each on its own single-channel plan). WhatsApp is coming soon.
Zapier, webhooks and API. Send every new lead and booking to the other software your pest control company runs on through Zapier, Make, signed webhooks or the API (on Growth). Google Sheets and Slack or Teams alerts work on every plan.
