Missed-call text back at spareday
Reply to calls while technicians are on a job.
Missed-call text back for pest control businesses sends a short text within a minute to anyone whose call goes unanswered. The caller can describe the problem in writing, and your team replies when someone is free.
spareday sets up missed-call text back for pest control businesses. You approve the message, choose where replies go and decide how you follow up. Based in Newcastle, spareday works with businesses across Australia.
What’s included
A text that asks what they have found.
Technicians are often in subfloors and roof spaces where they cannot take a call. The text lets the caller know you will reply and collects the basics.
- Your wording
- A short message in your business’s voice, saying you could not answer and asking how you can help.
- Useful questions
- What they have found, such as termites or rodents, the suburb and whether it is a home or a business.
- Photos if they have them
- The text can invite a photo, which helps your technician prepare.
- Replies where you want them
- Replies arrive by text, or in email or job software where that connection is supported.
How it works
Check the calls, then approve the message.
The setup starts with when calls come in, including your busier seasons, and who returns them.
- Look at your current calls
- Share roughly how many calls go unanswered and at what times of day. That shows whether a text-back is worth setting up.
- Approve the wording
- Agree what the text says and what it asks for: what they have found, the suburb and the type of property. Nothing is sent that you have not approved.
- Connect your number
- We check your phone provider first. Where the provider supports it, the text-back runs on the number you already use.
- Test before it starts
- Test calls confirm that the text arrives and that replies reach the right person.
Clear limits
Advice and prices come from your technician.
The text gives no treatment advice and no prices. It does not tell callers what to spray or do. Landline callers cannot receive a text and still need your voicemail.
The phone service and message accounts sit in your business’s name, so the setup keeps working if you stop working with us. Ongoing support is agreed in the quote.
If someone in your business already answers calls reliably, you may not need this, and we will say so. To help new customers find you, see local SEO for pest control and Google reviews for pest control. The same service for other businesses is on mechanics and tradies.

A few practical details
Before we get started.
Does it answer the phone?
No. It sends a text after a call goes unanswered. A caller who needs to speak with someone straight away still waits for your callback.
Does it work on my existing number?
Usually, yes. We check your phone provider before quoting. It cannot send a text to a caller ringing from a landline.
Will it give treatment advice?
No. It asks what they have found and where. Advice comes from your technician.
Will it quote an inspection?
No. The price comes from you when you reply.
What should I send for a quote?
Roughly how many calls go unanswered, when they arrive, your phone provider and where you want replies to go. We discuss the setup and provide a free quote.
