The Challenge

Guardian Pest Solutions in Houston, Texas, knew that pest problems feel urgent—especially at night when you're trying to sleep and hear scratching in the walls.

"People don't call about mice at 2pm," owner Patricia Moore said. "They call at midnight when they can't sleep. And if we don't answer, they call the next company."

The Situation Before

  • Monthly leads: 55
  • After-hours leads: 12 (capturing only ~25% of attempts)
  • Emergency conversion: 45%
  • Recurring plan signups: 8/month

The Solution

We deployed a pest control AI agent built for urgency:

1. Pest Identification - Helps identify the pest type through questions 2. Urgency Scoring - Rates severity (health hazard, structural damage, nuisance) 3. Same-Day Booking - Books urgent appointments in available same-day slots 4. Recurring Plan Offers - Presents quarterly treatment plans after initial service

The Results: First 90 Days

What Patricia Says Now

"Pest control is an emergency business disguised as a service business. The AI understands that urgency and captures customers when they're most motivated—at 2am when something is crawling in their kitchen."
