Call Handling — Pest Control

Rats at 11pm.
First pest controller to answer
got the job.

Pest control is one of the most urgency-driven service industries there is. A homeowner who finds evidence of rats, a wasp nest near children, or a bed bug infestation is not waiting until business hours — they're calling every number they can find and booking whoever picks up. ForgeMason answers every call at any hour, assesses the urgency and pest type, and has the job ready for dispatch the moment you're available.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can it handle calls from commercial premises differently from domestic?+
Yes. Commercial pest control calls — restaurants, food businesses, warehouses, care homes — are routed with higher urgency given the regulatory implications. ForgeMason captures business type, premises size, any regulatory context (EHO involvement, food safety certification) and routes the enquiry for priority callback.
Does it work for 24/7 emergency call-outs?+
Yes. ForgeMason operates around the clock. Emergency callouts are flagged immediately and can trigger an instant notification to your on-call technician. Callers receive a confirmation text so they know help is coming.
Is there a minimum contract?+
No minimum contract. Rolling monthly. No setup fee.
