Pest Control
Every pest, termite, and rodent lead answered in under a minute, with the first treatment booked and the recurring plan offered in the same reply.
Someone just saw a scorpion in the nursery. They are not waiting until Monday.
What your leads actually say
Three messages pest control companies get every week
Verbatim in spirit. Each one arrived while the person who should answer it was on a job, and each one was also sent to 2 or 3 competitors.
“We just found a scorpion in our toddler's room. Second one this month. How soon can you come and do you do monthly service?”
“Hearing scratching in the attic at night. Probably roof rats. Do you do exclusion and what does it cost?”
“Buying a house and the lender needs a termite inspection before closing on the 22nd. Can you fit it in?”
How LeadBolt answers
Composed for the lead in front of it, in about 45 seconds
The reply on the right is the kind of message Live Wire, the auto-responder, sends to pest control companies. It is built from what the customer wrote, the service LeadBolt classified, the time of day and whether you are open, the city, and the facts you set: your prices, your policies, your license. Nothing is pasted from a script bank, and no two leads get the same message.
Strike First, the speed-to-lead engine, sends it in about 45 seconds, during hours and after. Lightning Rod, the spam detection, has already parked the lead resellers and the marketing pitches, so the crew only ever sees customers. If the customer goes quiet, Boomerang, the ghost-lead follow-up, nudges them until they answer or say stop, and the whole thread lives in Switchboard, the unified inbox, where a person can take over with one tap.
Hi Kelsey, this is ACME Pest. Two scorpions in a month means there is a population nearby, and we would treat the perimeter, the block wall, and inside tonight if you like. Our initial service is $129 and the monthly plan keeps it that way. We can be in Cave Creek today 4 to 6 PM or tomorrow 8 to 10 AM. Reply 1 or 2.

Illustrative reply. The appointment windows come from Dispatch, the scheduling add-on.
The services you can auto-book
7 of 9 book from the first reply
Treatments, plans, inspections, and bee removal book from the first reply at the prices you set. Rodent exclusion and termite treatment depend on what the inspection finds, so the reply books the inspection and says the quote comes with it.
With Dispatch, the scheduling add-on, the first reply offers 2 or 3 real windows and the customer books by texting a number. Services that need a quote get the estimate visit booked the same way, which is still a booking on your calendar. Which services are bookable is set per service inside LeadBolt, so the list below is a starting point, not a rule.

Where these leads come from
The sources that matter most for pest control companies
Every one of them gets the same treatment: instant reply, spam screening, one inbox, and revenue attribution. Each is connected with you on a call, included with every plan.
Yelp
The first stop for 'scorpion' and 'bed bug' searches, where the response badge does the selling.
Google Local Services
High-urgency message leads and missed calls that need a text back in seconds.
Nextdoor
A single 'who do you use for scorpions' thread can fill a route.
Website forms
The plan sign-up form and the 11 PM 'I just saw something' message.
Phone calls
Missed-call text back for the caller who hung up on voicemail and dialed the next company.
Seasonality and timing
When pest control companies get buried, and why the clock matters more then
Pest control is seasonal by species. Scorpions and ants surge with the first warm nights, mosquitoes with the first rain, rodents with the first cold snap, and termite inspections with every real estate closing. Each surge produces a burst of leads from people who are frightened, standing in the room with the problem, and messaging every company on the first screen.
Throttle, the Yelp ad tuning, follows the species calendar, moving budget to scorpion keywords in spring and rodent keywords in fall, and blocking the ones that only attract price shoppers. After hours is where pest control wins or loses: the scorpion in the nursery gets reported at 10 PM, and the after-hours voice acknowledges it, gives the safe-tonight advice, captures the address, and books the first morning window before the customer finds another company that answered.
Plans start at $149/mo and every plan answers every lead in under a minute. Throttle is included in Pro. See pricing for the full grid.
