PEST CONTROL BUSINESS AUTOMATION
More callouts. Less admin. Same hours.
A rat sighting or a wasp nest doesn't wait for you to finish your paperwork. Between emergency callouts, follow-up treatments, and commercial contracts, the admin builds up fast, and every missed call is a customer who rings the next number on Google. Resolves automates the booking, reminders, reviews, and follow-ups so nothing slips while you're on site.
No obligation. Setup included.
Automation that keeps your callouts coming
-
Recover lost revenue
When you're up in a loft dealing with a wasp nest or laying bait in a commercial kitchen, you can't answer the phone. But the person calling about mice running through their kitchen at 6pm isn't going to wait around, they'll ring the next pest controller on the list. Automation catches those calls in the background, so an urgent job never quietly goes to a competitor.
-
Build your Google reputation
Pest control is sensitive work. People are often embarrassed, stressed, or worried about a rodent or bed bug problem, and they want to see proof that you're trustworthy and discreet before they let you in. After every job, your customer gets a friendly text asking for a quick review. Most pest control businesses see their review count grow by 3–5× within the first month, which builds the trust that gets the phone ringing.
-
Get your evenings back
You shouldn't be sat at home at 8pm confirming tomorrow's follow-up treatments or chasing a commercial client for their contract renewal. Resolves handles the booking confirmations, reminders, and rebooking prompts automatically. When the van's parked up, you're actually finished for the day.
PEST CONTROL AUTOMATION TOOLS
More jobs, less admin
Online booking for pest control jobs
Someone who's just found mouse droppings in the kitchen wants to book you now, not play phone tag for two days. If they can't get through straight away, they'll find someone who lets them book online there and then.
- Customers book directly from your Google listing, your website, or a link you text them
- Set separate availability for emergency callouts, routine treatments, and commercial site visits so there's never a clash
- Confirmations and reminders go out automatically, so both sides know exactly what's happening and when
Review generation for pest control
Nobody enjoys admitting they've got a rat problem, and that means they research heavily before choosing who to let in the door. Reviews are how they decide. A pest controller with 60 reviews and a 4.9 rating wins the job before the phone even rings.
- An automatic SMS review request goes out right after the job is done, while the relief of a solved problem is still fresh
- One-tap link takes them straight to your Google review page, so there's nothing to figure out
- Unhappy customers are prompted to contact you directly first, so you can put it right before it ever goes public
Appointment reminders for pest control jobs
You drive out for a scheduled follow-up treatment and nobody's in, or the tenant forgot the landlord booked it. That's a wasted trip and a re-arranged job you didn't need. A simple reminder the day before and morning of stops most of this before it happens.
- Automated SMS reminders go out 24 hours and 2 hours before every visit
- Customers can confirm, reschedule, or cancel with a quick reply, and you see it straight away
- Cuts no-shows by up to 40%, which means less wasted drive time between jobs and more billable hours
Missed-call text-back for pest control
Pest problems feel urgent to the person calling, even if it's not always an emergency to you. If you're up a ladder dealing with a wasp nest and can't pick up, an instant text reply keeps that panicked caller on the hook until you can ring back.
- A personalised text goes out within seconds of every missed call, with your business name and a link to book
- Covers evenings and weekends too, when infestation panic calls are most common and out-of-hours enquiries would otherwise go cold
- Every missed call is logged with the caller's details so nothing slips through the cracks
Automation that grafts as hard as you do
-
Rebooking Automation
Bed bug and rodent treatments usually need a follow-up visit, and commercial kitchens need annual inspections to stay compliant. When either is due, the customer gets an automatic reminder from you. They rebook because you're the pest controller who stayed on top of it, not someone they found on a fresh Google search.
-
Automated Marketing
Wasp nest campaigns in summer, mice and rodent-proofing messages in autumn, and commercial contract renewal reminders year-round. Everything goes out automatically under your business name, keeping you front of mind for the exact problem that's about to hit your customers' area.
-
Quote Follow-Up
When a quote for a treatment or commercial contract hasn't had a reply, the customer gets an automatic follow-up from you before they ring someone else. Pest problems get worse by the day, and this keeps you in the running without you having to remember who you're still waiting on.
-
Payment Reminders
Unpaid invoices for treatments, follow-up visits, and landlord jobs get chased automatically with polite reminders in your name. You get paid faster without a single awkward money conversation with a customer or letting agent.
-
Custom Workflows
Things like landlord property tracking, commercial contract renewals, and treatment follow-up sequences can all be automated with a workflow built around how you actually work. If there's admin you find yourself repeating on every job, we can probably take it off your plate.
-
Business Dashboard
A clear view of how many leads came in, how many turned into booked treatments, and what revenue they brought in, all at a glance. It takes the guesswork out of knowing what's working and where your next callouts are coming from.
Frequently asked questions
What is pest control business automation?
It's a set of tools that handle the admin side of running a pest control business for you. That includes things like missed-call replies, appointment reminders, review requests, rebooking prompts for follow-up treatments, and marketing campaigns timed to seasonal pest activity. The idea is simple: you focus on the treatments, and the system takes care of the rest in the background.
I'm a sole trader. Is this worth it for a one-person operation?
It's actually where it makes the biggest difference. When you're the only person in the business, there's nobody to answer the phone, confirm bookings, or chase reviews while you're dealing with a wasp nest or laying bait. That's exactly where the most revenue gets lost. Even recovering one extra emergency callout a week or cutting a couple of no-shows covers the cost several times over.
What exactly does Resolves automate?
Online booking so customers self-serve, appointment reminders that cut no-shows, review requests after every job, missed-call text-back so urgent leads don't go cold, rebooking prompts for follow-up treatments and annual commercial inspections, and marketing campaigns that run on autopilot around seasonal pest activity. You choose which automations to switch on.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at £49/month with setup included. There are no contracts, so you can cancel anytime. Most pest control businesses find it pays for itself within the first week just by recovering one or two callouts that would have otherwise been missed. You can see the full breakdown on our pricing page.
I'm not very tech-savvy. Is it hard to set up?
We handle everything. During your free audit, we configure all automations, connect your phone number, and test the system. You approve the setup and it runs in the background. No apps to learn, no dashboards to check daily.
Can it handle commercial contract reminders as well as domestic jobs?
Yes. The system tracks recurring work such as annual pest inspections for commercial kitchens, landlord property checks, and routine domestic follow-up treatments, then sends reminders automatically when each is due. It means contracts get renewed and follow-ups get booked without you having to keep a spreadsheet of dates in your head.
How quickly can I get started?
Most pest control businesses are fully live within 48 hours of the free audit. We handle all the technical setup ourselves, including call forwarding, message templates, and automation rules. Before anything goes live, we walk you through the whole thing so you're comfortable with how it works.
