Where you spend your time

Your time is money

We know how your week actually goes

Most pest control operators are not short on calls; they are short on time. Wasp nests, rodent reports, bed bug jobs, inspection bookings, treatment plans, and bait-station paperwork all land in the same week.

Actionist builds AI agents for Pest Control that handle your digital work, so your technicians can stay on the route instead of on the phone.

What matters to you

Speed to the call-out
The first company to call back usually wins the job.
Inspections that book themselves
A clean route, not four texts to find a slot.
Recurring contracts renewed on time
A missed renewal call is a lost quarterly customer.
Paperwork that survives an audit
Bait-station logs and chemical records ready the day an auditor asks.
Reviews that build trust
A pest job only gets booked once the reviews look clean.
Built around your team
These are examples. Build a custom agent for any job you repeat.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Pest Control team's day.

Triggers and Reactions

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

WhenA wasp nest or rodent call-out comes infires within about a minute

The agent automatically

The moment a call, text, or web quote arrives, the agent reads it within about a minute, tells an urgent job from a routine one, checks the right technician's route, and drafts a reply offering a same-day or next-available slot. Every message waits for your one-pass approval before it reaches the customer, so the fastest company stops winning by default.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An AI agent works in your real systems, dispatch, compliance logs, and customer records, so staying in control matters. Actionist is built to be supervised: you decide how much each agent does on its own, you approve what reaches a customer, and every step is recorded for you to check.

You set the supervision

Choose how much each agent does on its own, from drafting for your approval to handling trusted routine work. Anything destructive, like deleting or cancelling, always asks first, and that cannot be turned off.

Approve from your phone

Agents can reach you over Telegram or Slack, so you approve a reply or an action with one tap, from the route or the office.

Every run is logged

Each run is recorded step by step, with screenshots and a full transcript, so you can see exactly what the agent read and did.

Your data stays yours

Credentials are encrypted in a vault and never shown again, memory stays on your own machine, and you can self-host Actionist on your own server.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually reply to my call-outs fast enough, and how does it know what to say?

Yes, and speed is the whole point. The agent watches your call-tracking data, web forms, and Yelp leads and logs a new call-out within about a minute, whatever the hour. It reads the message, matches it to a wasp, rodent, or bed bug job, checks the right technician's route, and drafts a warm first reply with two inspection times, logged to your CRM. You teach it your tone and your qualifying questions once, and until you trust it every reply waits for your approval. A call-out answered in minutes instead of hours is often the difference between a booked job and a customer who already called the next company on the list.

We run our own field-service platform and a compliance spreadsheet nothing else connects to. Will it still work?

Almost certainly. Actionist operates your tools the way a person does, by reading the screen and clicking, typing, and navigating, so it reaches software with no API at all, your dispatch platform, your bait-station spreadsheet, the commercial client's own portal. Where an app offers a clean connection it uses it, where it does not, the desktop agent simply works the screen, with your approval. You do not rip anything out or wait for an integration to be built. Screen automation runs on the desktop app.

Will it message a customer without me seeing it first?

Not unless you decide it should. By default every reply, reminder, and follow-up is drafted and waits for your approval. Approval Modes let you move at your own pace, from suggest, to ask each time, to a guarded auto for trusted routine jobs, and anything irreversible like cancelling an appointment always asks first, which cannot be turned off. Agents reach you on Telegram or Slack, so you can approve or reword with one tap between stops on your route. You stay in control of every word that reaches a customer.

What happens to call-outs that come in at night or over the weekend?

That is when a wasp nest or a rodent report often actually arrives, and where answering in minutes wins the job. On the desktop app an agent works while the app is open. To cover evenings, nights, and weekends unattended, you move that agent to the hosted cloud runtime on a paid plan and it keeps reading call-outs, drafting replies, and booking inspections while your laptop is closed. You stay in approval mode either way, so nothing reaches a customer without the sign-off you have set.

Is this here to replace my technicians?

No. It takes over the admin, not the treatment. The work it removes is the part of the week you already resent, typing first replies one by one, chasing signatures, retyping bait-station logs, and pulling together service reports. Hand that to an agent and your technicians spend their hours where only a person wins, inspecting the property, applying the treatment, and reassuring the homeowner. A small crew ends up with the output of a much larger one without adding headcount.

Can I build an agent around the way our company actually works?

Yes. The teams and jobs shown on this page are a starting point, not the limit. You can build a custom AI agent for pest control around any task your office repeats, chasing a regulator for a filing confirmation, posting new listings to your service-area pages, preparing the Monday route summary, rebooking the day's no-shows, or sending seasonal reminders to your recurring accounts. You describe the job in plain English, tell it which apps to use and when to run, and it handles that work on a schedule or when something triggers it. Most teams start with one agent on their biggest time-sink and add more as they see what it saves.

Is our customer and compliance data kept private?

Your data stays yours. Credentials are encrypted in a vault and never shown again, the agent's memory of how your office works stays on your own machine, and your data is never used to train models. Every action an agent takes is logged step by step with screenshots, so you can see exactly what it read and did with a customer's information or a compliance record. If you need everything to stay on your own infrastructure, you can self-host Actionist on your own server.

Does my team need to be technical, and how fast can we be up and running?

No code, and most companies have their first agent working the same day. If you can brief a new starter, you can brief an agent, you describe the job in plain English. Connecting an app like your field-service platform or inbox is a guided click-and-approve step that takes about a minute, and the agent can start replying to call-outs or filing bait-station logs as soon as its apps are linked. You keep it in approval mode while you build trust, then hand over the routine work once it has earned it.

What does it cost, and is it worth it for a small pest control company?

It is built to pay for itself in hours back. A single agent typically lifts a dozen or more hours of admin off a team each week, and the speed-to-call-out alone tends to rescue jobs that used to go to whichever company called back first. What you pay scales with how many agents you run and whether any run unattended in the cloud, so most companies start with one agent on whatever wastes the most time and add more as it proves out. Book a free demo and we will run it on a real call-out from your inbox and map the time and cost it would save you.
