What the phone looks like for a Southampton pest control company
Southampton and the wider Hampshire has a population of around 900,000, built on maritime, logistics and marine trades. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a pest control company working across Portswood, Bitterne and Shirley most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Pest calls are emotional and immediate. Nobody with rats in the kitchen waits until Monday.
Callwise answers on your own 023 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Southampton pest control companies ask us
Do we keep our 023 number?
Yes. Your existing 023 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Southampton customers reach you changes.
Do you work with pest control companies outside Southampton?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Southampton and everywhere across Hampshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Can it identify the pest?
It asks your questions and records the answers. Identification is your job, but the caller is booked and the details are on your phone before you finish the treatment you are on.
What about the wasp season?
July and August can double your calls. It handles every one of them at the same time, which no single phone line can.
Will it quote?
Your standard treatment prices, yes, which is usually all the caller wants before booking.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Southampton customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
