The answering service for pest control companies who can't answer.
Every call from homeowners with an active infestation who want someone today — answered, triaged and booked while you work.
Elavo Answer is an AI answering service for pest control companies. It answers calls from homeowners with an active infestation who want someone today, 24/7, in a natural voice; treats phrases like "wasps" and "bed bugs" as urgent and transfers those callers to whoever is on call; takes a structured message for everyone else; and books inspections and treatments. Plans from $299/month with 1,200 minutes included and no per-minute overage.

What Elavo Answer does for pest control companies
Emergencies reach a person
Urgency phrases for your trade — “wasps”, “bed bugs”, “rats in the house”, “snake”, “swarm” — transfer the caller to your on-call number. No answer in your chosen minutes → backup, then you.
Jobs booked on the call
It books inspections and treatments, confirms by text, and never double-books.
Messages, not voicemails
Name, callback number, what they need, how urgent, best time — texted and emailed to you, with one-tap callback.
Keep your number
Forward your existing line always, when busy, when unanswered or after hours. Verified with one test call.
Spam screened
Robocalls and blocked numbers are turned away before the AI answers and never use your minutes.
Morning report
Yesterday’s calls, messages, urgent pages, bookings and minutes, in your inbox at 7am.
A typical after-hours call
It is 9:40pm. A caller says “wasps”. Elavo Answer answers in your business name, hears the urgency phrase, tells the caller it is connecting them, and rings your on-call number. If nobody picks up in five minutes it pages your backup, then you. The caller never hears voicemail, and you see the message with their number and address before you even call back.
A second caller at 10:15pm wants a quote. The AI takes name, number, address and what they need, promises a callback in the morning, and texts you the message. In the morning report it is listed as waiting for a callback.

Common questions
Can it prioritise an active infestation?
Yes. Mark those phrases urgent and the caller is transferred to your on-call tech; routine renewals are booked.
What happens when I run out of minutes?
You get a low-balance alert first. Add a 300-minute block for $75 with one click, or turn on auto-recharge with a monthly cap. With auto-recharge off and a zero balance, calls are not answered until you recharge — you are never billed per minute in arrears.
Is there a free trial for Elavo Answer?
No. Plans are billed from day one because your line and minutes are live the moment you check out. Month to month, cancel anytime.
