Can Kai give a quote for a treatment over the phone?

Kai relays the pricing you set — your inspection fee, general-pest treatment rate, or quarterly-plan price — and qualifies the job first: pest type, severity, residential vs. commercial, and property size. For termite and bed-bug work that needs an inspection, it explains that clearly, captures the details, and books the inspection so the lead never goes cold.

How does Kai handle urgent infestation calls?

Pest callers are often distressed and want help now. Kai answers instantly 24/7, calms the caller, identifies the pest and infestation location, verifies you serve the area, and either books the treatment or routes a true emergency to the right technician with the urgency flagged.

Can Kai turn a one-time job into a recurring quarterly plan?

Yes. After capturing the initial treatment, Kai can offer ongoing prevention and book recurring quarterly service — the difference between a one-off $200 job and a $400–$800/year customer. Returning plan members are recognized by name, address, or phone so the team schedules a follow-up instead of creating a duplicate lead.

Does Kai check that the caller is in our service area?

Kai verifies the service area before dispatching, so your route planner never gets a job outside your coverage. It captures the property address, access notes, whether pets or tenants are present, and the preferred treatment window so the visit fits cleanly into your route density.

Can Kai keep up during seasonal call surges?

Yes. Spring ants, summer wasps, fall rodents — every season brings a spike that overwhelms a front desk. Kai handles unlimited simultaneous calls, so every caller gets immediate service during peak season instead of a busy signal that sends them to the next exterminator on Google.

What does it cost, and is there a per-minute fee?

KaiCalls is a flat monthly business phone line, not a metered bill. Kai Backup is $10/mo (a generous fair-use cushion of about 20 answered calls), Kai Office is $349/mo (about 800 answered calls), and Custom is available for larger or multi-branch operations. There is no per-minute overage and no surprise bill — every feature is included on every plan.

How long does setup take?

Most pest-control companies are live in minutes. Pick a number in your area code, give Kai your service area, pest list, pricing, plan options, and scheduling rules, and connect your calendar. No contracts and no setup fees — run Kai as your main line, your after-hours net, or seasonal overflow.

Panic Triage

Kai Calms the Caller and Identifies the Pest Problem

Pest callers often want help now. Kai turns panic into a clear treatment request.

Kai asks what the caller saw, where it appeared, how long it has been happening, whether anyone was bitten or stung, and whether the property is residential or commercial.

Bed bugs, termites, rodents, wasps, roaches, ants, and preventive service calls get classified before the job reaches your route planner.

Panic calls go to whoever picks up first

A bed-bug or termite caller is worth $1,000–$3,500 on the first job and $400–$800 a year if you convert them to a quarterly plan. Kai answers those calls instantly, 24/7, instead of sending them to voicemail. When your techs are on routes and your front desk is buried in seasonal calls, every missed ring is a high-intent customer handed to a competitor.

KaiCalls plans start at $10/mo with unlimited secretaries. Monthly plans and call allowances: Kai Backup $10 (~20 Kai-answered calls/mo), Kai Answering $79 (~170 Kai-answered calls/mo), Kai Office $349 (~800 Kai-answered calls/mo). There are no per-minute overage charges. Your plan includes an expected monthly call allowance. If your call volume stays higher, we recommend the next plan and notify you before anything changes. You can choose to keep your current plan, and we move you back down if volume drops. Software features are available on every plan. Extra phone lines and optional website call tracking cost extra. Connected services require setup.
