Field Tech Check-In Loops Playbook for Modern Pest Control

Pest control technicians work through 8-12 service stops per day. Each stop ends with a phone-based check-in: confirm completion, capture next-visit notes, schedule re-treatment if needed. Without an automated loop, dispatchers spend 2 hours/day on these check-ins.

What we keep recommending for pest control

• Check-in by SMS template — Tech sends "DONE 1234" to confirm stop completion. Phone system parses + auto-updates job board. No voice call needed.
• Re-treatment auto-scheduling — If completion includes "needs re-treat in 2 weeks", system auto-books the next visit and confirms via SMS to customer.
• Photo capture flow — For service-warranty cases, tech texts a photo to a dedicated number that auto-attaches to the job ticket. Phone system bridges the photo-to-ticket gap.
• Customer follow-up at 24h — Auto-call the customer 24h post-service to confirm satisfaction. Trigger a callback if rating is sub-3.
