Pest control is a category where homeowners typically hire on the same call they made to ask about the service. By the time someone calls a pest control company, they've already confirmed there's a problem and decided they're not handling it themselves. That pre-qualification makes inbound pest calls among the highest-converting in home services. The key metric isn't close rate on individual calls -- it's lifetime value from recurring service agreements that convert from those first calls.
