For pest control, lawn care, cleaning and moving companies

The answering service for pest, lawn, cleaning and moving companies.

Same trucks, same phones, different emergencies.

Pest control, lawn care, cleaning and moving run on the same kind of phone as the trades. Pickwick answers the calls you forward to it, takes recurring visits, one-off jobs, estimates and move dates, and sends each one to you to confirm.

How you go live

Pickwick for pest control, lawn care, cleaning and moving companies goes live through a guided onboarding. We configure your hours, services, emergency routing and approvers with your team, test it on your own calls, then forward your existing number. No new phone system.

What Pickwick handles

Recurring visits and one-off jobs, taken on the call

Everything it captures lands on one screen, and everything that costs money waits for a person to say yes.

Recurring and one-off bookings

Quarterly pest service, weekly mowing, a move-out clean: taken, read back, and penciled in for you to confirm.

Estimate visits

Square footage, lot size, rooms and stairs: the questions your estimator would ask, asked before the visit.

Move dates that cannot slip

The date, both addresses and the inventory notes, flagged when the day is close.

After-hours capture

The 9 pm call about wasps in the eaves is a job on your screen at 7 am, not a voicemail.

The calls that come in

And what it does with each.

The same rule as every Pickwick line: an emergency is handled before anything else.

Wasps in the eaves, and the kids play there
Urgent. Address, number, first window.
Ants are back in the kitchen since the rain
Routine. Details taken, a visit penciled in for you to confirm.
Can you come before our move-out inspection on Friday?
A one-off clean, penciled in for Thursday for you to confirm.
How much is a lawn plan?
Your price, in your words, or a callback.

The rules that do not bend.

The emergency line uses fixed platform wording; the rest are rules we set with you at onboarding.

The emergency line comes first

Every caller can hear "If this is an emergency, please hang up and call 911." before anything is booked, a line set at onboarding.

No chemical advice

It never tells a caller what to spray, mix or pour.

No invented prices

Your plan prices in your words, or a callback.

Nothing booked without you

Every job waits for a person to say yes.

Also for: Property management · Veterinary clinics · Auto repair and towing, and home services.
