The problem
A homeowner who just found termite swarmers isn't going to wait for a callback
Emergency pest calls are where you make your money, but they come in when you're busiest on the job. When you're in a crawl space treating termites, spraying a perimeter, or setting traps in an attic, you can't answer your phone. The homeowner who just found roaches in the kitchen isn't going to try you twice. They'll call the next company on Google.

How Exterminators Use Jodie
Termite Swarm Panic
The situation: A homeowner finds hundreds of winged termites emerging from the baseboards in their living room at 6pm. They are panicking about structural damage and want someone out immediately.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers right away, calms the caller, gets the address, asks where the swarmers were spotted and whether the home has a termite bond. You get a text with all the details so you can schedule an inspection first thing.
Mid-Treatment Call
The situation: You're in a crawl space doing a termite treatment when your phone rings with a new inquiry for a roach infestation at a restaurant.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the call, asks about the type of pest, the size of the property, and how long the problem has been going on. You get the details by text when you're back above ground.
Bed Bug Inspection Quote
The situation: A property manager calls wanting a quote for a bed bug inspection across four units in an apartment complex. They need it done before new tenants move in next week.
Jodie handles it: Jodie asks about the number of units, square footage, whether there is a confirmed sighting or if it is preventive, and the move-in deadline. You get the details by text so you can call back with a price.
After-Hours Roach Emergency
The situation: A restaurant owner calls at 10pm because a health inspector is coming tomorrow and they just spotted roaches in the kitchen. They need emergency service tonight.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, gets the restaurant address, asks about the extent of the problem, and flags it as urgent. The message is waiting for you so you can call back and arrange an emergency treatment.
The next emergency job is one missed call away.
