What questions should pest control companies ask new leads?
Updated May 20, 2026
Direct answer
Pest control companies should ask about contact details, property address, service need, urgency, timeline, and fit. For pest control, add service-specific follow-ups before quoting, scheduling, or dispatching.
This question matters because pest control calls often happen while the owner or crew is already working. A caller may need termite inspections, mosquito treatments, rodent control, bed bug inspections, wasp calls, recurring treatments, and a slow response can turn into a lost opportunity.
Intake questions to ask
Capture the caller’s name, confirmed phone number, property address, service need, urgency, timeline, and any access notes. For pest control, the follow-up questions should change based on the service type and whether the caller is new, existing, residential, commercial, urgent, or recurring.
Useful details include:
- Contact information and preferred callback method
- Property address and service area fit
- Service type, urgency, and timeline
- Photos, access notes, budget, or scheduling constraints when relevant
