An AI back office for pest control companies
Ironclad is an AI back office for pest control companies. When a homeowner calls about roaches in the kitchen or a rat in the garage and your tech is suited up in a crawlspace, an AI receptionist answers, books the job onto your calendar, and turns that one urgent call into a recurring quarterly plan. It also chases cold quotes and recovers overdue invoices. Going live is a flat monthly for the office plus 15% of the receivables it recovers: money you already earned that was sitting uncollected.
- Answers the urgent wasp-nest and roach calls that go to the next company if you miss them
- Turns a one-time treatment into a booked recurring quarterly plan
- Chases cold quotes and recovers overdue invoices in the software you already run
- A flat monthly plus 15% of recovered receivables
How it works for pest control
A homeowner sees a wasp nest by the front door at 7am and wants someone out today. Your tech is already on a route, suited up in an attic, hands full. The AI receptionist picks up on the first ring, gets the address and the pest, and books the call onto your calendar with the notes attached. It tells the caller up front that it is an AI, and if the job is genuinely tricky it routes the call to a person on your team.
The same call does not stop at one treatment. The AI offers the recurring quarterly plan while the homeowner is still on the phone, books the first re-treatment, and follows up on the quote you sent the new customer last week that went quiet. For Housecall Pro and Jobber it writes the job straight into your account. For ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, Service Fusion, Workiz, Kickserv, Google Calendar, or a spreadsheet, it books on your shop calendar and your team confirms it in your software.
Why pest control shops use it
Pest is recurring-revenue heavy, so the first urgent call is the whole game. Capture it and you have a customer for years of quarterly visits. Miss it and that homeowner hits the next pest company in the search results before you even hear the voicemail. A ringing phone with nobody on it is a contract walking out the door.
Your techs cannot answer from a crawlspace, and you cannot run a route and a front desk at the same time. The AI covers after-hours, lunch, and the overflow when three people call at once, so the calls that used to go to voicemail turn into booked jobs and signed plans instead.
What does it cost?
When you go live, it is a flat monthly for the office plus 15% of recovered receivables, each recurring plan and recovered invoice traced to the call that earned it.

Common questions
- What does it cost?
- Going live is a flat monthly for the office plus 15% of recovered receivables, each recurring plan and recovered invoice traced to the call that earned it. We go over the exact numbers on the demo call.
- Is it an AI or a real person?
- It is an AI receptionist, and it says so at the start of every call. It handles the booking, the recurring plan, and the follow-up on its own. Anything genuinely complex gets routed to a person on your team.
- Does it work with the software I already run?
- Yes. It books straight into Housecall Pro and Jobber. For ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, Service Fusion, Workiz, Kickserv, Google Calendar, or a spreadsheet, it books on your shop calendar and your team confirms it in your software. We also run this for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, painting, and the rest of the trades that run trucks.
- Will it catch the emergency calls when my techs are in the field?
- That is the point. When a homeowner calls about a wasp nest or a rat and your techs are suited up and cannot pick up, the AI answers on the first ring, gets the urgent job on the calendar, and offers the recurring plan before they can call the next company.
