RingmereHome / Industries / Pest Control
The AI phone receptionist for pest control technicians.
Nobody who has just seen a rat in the kitchen leaves a voicemail and waits. Ringmere answers, finds out what the pest is and where it was seen, books the treatment or inspection you price in advance, and passes anything about safety straight to you.
The missed-call problem
Sound familiar?
- Wasp season, when the phone does not stop
- Callers who ring the next firm the moment you do not answer
- Commercial clients who need someone today
Every one of those is a booking walking to a competitor. Ringmere answers before it does.
How Ringmere helps pest control
Answer, book, and hand you the rest.
Answers your calls, 24/7
First-ring pickup, evenings and weekends included, so callers get a real answer instead of voicemail.
Books treatments, passes on the rest
Books the treatments and inspections you price in advance, and passes commercial work, bed bugs and safety questions to you.
Escalates what matters
Urgent, clinical or unhappy callers go to your team immediately, with full context.
It answers messages too: on Growth and Pro, customers can WhatsApp or text your business and the same receptionist replies, books and takes orders.
Call by call
Every call a pest control firm gets.
Pest control callers are often worried, sometimes embarrassed and always in a hurry. This is what Ringmere does with their calls while your technicians are out.
| The call | What Ringmere does |
|---|---|
| “There’s a wasp nest by the back door” | Books the nest treatment at your price into a real free slot, with the address and where the nest is in the notes. |
| Mice in the kitchen or rats in the garden | Takes what they have seen and where, and books the treatment or an inspection, whichever you have set up for it. |
| “Is it safe for my dog?” | Answered only with the words you have approved. Anything beyond them goes to your technician. |
| Bed bugs, moths or birds | Taken as an enquiry for a survey and quote if you price them on site, with the property and what the caller has noticed. |
| A restaurant or food business with a problem today | Escalated to you as urgent if your setup notes say so, with the business name, address and issue. |
| “Do your vans have your name on them?” | Answered from your approved answers, so a discreet customer hears what you would tell them. |
| A sting or bite with a bad reaction | Told to call 999, and escalated to you. It never gives health advice. |
An example call
Written to show how a call goes, using sample services and prices; not a recording.
Caller: Hi, I think we’ve got mice. There are droppings under the kitchen sink.
Ringmere: Sorry to hear that. A mice treatment is £120 and takes about an hour, and it includes a follow-up visit. I have Wednesday at 2pm or Thursday at 10am.
Caller: Wednesday. Is the stuff you use safe with a cat in the house?
Ringmere: Our technician will talk you through that before starting, and I’ll note that you have a cat so he comes prepared. What’s the address with the postcode?
Caller: 57 Ash Grove, S10 3GH. It’s a three-bed semi.
Ringmere: Thanks. Can I take your name?
Caller: Lucy.
Ringmere: Thanks, Lucy. That’s booked: mice treatment on Wednesday at 2pm at 57 Ash Grove, droppings under the kitchen sink, with a cat in the house.
