When the calls come

A day of calls on a pest control line.

People find pests when they are home: roaches in the kitchen after dinner, scratching in the attic once the house is quiet, wasps on the porch on a Saturday. Real estate agents call about termite letters on their own schedule, with a closing date that will not move. Each caller wants to know the request is in.

Example calls, by the hour they come in Calhoun, GA

An example day with the shop open from 7 AM to 6 PM. 5 example calls are marked by the hour they come in; they are listed below.

  1. 5:50 AM Homeowner

    “We heard scratching above the bedroom all night.”

    Notes where and when, without guessing what it is.

  2. 10:30 AM Real estate agent

    “I need a termite letter before Friday's closing.”

    Takes the property, the closing date and who gets the report.

  3. 7:10 PM Homeowner

    “There are roaches in the kitchen cabinets.”

    Takes an inspection request and the days that work.

  4. 8:45 PM Customer

    “We had a treatment and they are back.”

    Takes a message for your team. It does not promise a free visit.

  5. 10:20 PM Homeowner

    “Is the spray safe for my dog?”

    Says it cannot answer that and takes a message for a tech.

Examples of the calls this trade gets, not real calls. Hours shown are an example. Lime is when Forge answers; calls in open hours reach it when you forward your line while you are busy.

Questions

Questions pest control companies ask first.

Will it identify pests or recommend a spray?

No. It writes down what the caller saw or heard and where, and takes an inspection request. It does not name the pest, recommend a product or give treatment advice. Your technician decides what the job needs.

Can it handle termite letter requests from real estate agents?

Yes. It takes the property, the closing date and who should get the report, and your office schedules the inspection. It does not promise a date before your team confirms it.

What if a customer calls because the pests came back?

It takes the property, what they are seeing and when they were treated, and passes it to your team. It can explain your written re-service policy if you give it to us. It cannot look up treatment history or decide whether a visit is covered.
