Pest Control Contact Center Benefit #1: Improved Customer Service
Imagine it’s a Sunday afternoon, and a worried homeowner discovers a beehive in their backyard. They’re unsure if it’s dangerous, but they’re very worried and need help ASAP.
With a pest control contact center, they can just dial a hotline or shoot you a message via online chat. Then, bam, they’re connected to one of your agents immediately. But this isn’t just any agent. Thanks to your contact center and a nifty CRM integration, they’ve got the lowdown on the homeowner’s history – past pest problems, where they live, and even how they like their bug spray.
Armed with this understanding, the rep asks the right questions, offers the right tips, and assures them that a pro is on the way to handle the beehive situation. The homeowner feels heard, appreciates the personalized response, and gains confidence in your ability to address their unique pest problem. Thanks to your contact center, you’ve transformed a service call into a genuine connection – something 73 percent of consumers expect from businesses.
“Since the integration of Voice for Pest with PestPac, our office staff have seen the benefits, and we LOVE it. It makes customers happier when we have all their information in front of us instead of searching PestPac. As office manager, I really appreciate this service!”

Pest Control Contact Center Benefit #2: Efficient Appointment Scheduling
Time is of the essence when dealing with pests. A contact center streamlines the appointment booking process, making it quick and hassle-free for customers and pest control professionals. No more endless phone tagging or missed opportunities.
Let’s say a business owner notices signs of a rodent infestation in their restaurant and needs urgent pest control services. In the past, scheduling an appointment might have involved several back-and-forth phone calls during business hours, inconveniencing their staff members and their guests.
With a contact center from Voice for Pest, the business owner can simply visit your website and use an online booking system. They choose a convenient time for the pest control professional to visit, and the system automatically confirms the appointment. The process is quick, straightforward, and happens on the customer’s terms, making it a hassle-free experience for both parties.
Did you know that, in one study, small businesses saw an average revenue boost of 37 percent when they added an online booking option?
Pest Control Contact Center Benefit #3: Faster Problem Resolution
In our line of work, speed matters. A contact center is the secret weapon for quick issue resolution. When customers can reach out through various channels – phone, email, or chat – you can handle problems as soon as they arise.
Imagine a scenario where a customer spots a lingering roach after a recent treatment. Instead of waiting on hold, they send a quick chat message. Your team swoops in, addresses the concern, and schedules a follow-up visit – all within minutes. That’s the kind of superhero move that turns a problem into a positive customer review and even a referral. According to Semrush, businesses that offer positive customer experiences are referred by customers three times more than brands that don’t.
