Lapsed quarterly customers are still getting ants. Just not from you.
The family on the quarterly plan who dropped off after a year did not stop having pests. The one-time ant treatment from two springs ago is due again, and the customer will call whoever is on top of the search results the day they see the trail. Your route software has every one of them.
Three groups, all of them already yours.
Quarterly plans that lapsed
A year of coverage, then a missed card or a move. They know the service works. One note before the season.
One-time treatments due again
Ants, spiders, mice, wasps. Same house, same season, same problem.
Inspections that never became a treatment
Termite and bed bug inspections that found something and went quiet.
When: Three weeks before the first warm stretch and again before the first cold one, when pests move in both directions.
In your name, about their job, with one easy question.
This is the opener our pest control playbook starts from, and the follow-up two days later. Yours gets your name, your crew, and your words.
Opens with the treatment you did, in your name.
Never quotes a price or says anything about products, chemicals or safety.
Takes a termite or bed bug report seriously and books the soonest inspection.
Sends a "is it safe for my dog" question to your office with the thread.

Linda, Luis at Sentinel Pest Control again. A treatment before they get inside is one 30-minute visit; after, it's a few. Want me to put you on the route this week?
