When to use this message
Send after a completed service, successful follow-up, inspection, or positive customer interaction.
Why it works
Review requests work best when they are timely, specific, and connected to a real customer experience.
For pest control companies, SMS works because customers are often coordinating around pets, gates, tenants, weather, work schedules, and urgent pest activity. The message should make the next step obvious without forcing the customer to call back and wait on hold.

Service completed
This is the customer moment that starts the workflow. Keep the trigger tied to a real appointment, lead, call, or completed service event.
Customer receives SMS or email review request
Send the message while the customer still has context, and make the next step easy to answer from a phone.
Positive customers go to Google
Route the reply to the right person or team so the customer is not left waiting after they respond.
Feedback concerns route internally
Update the customer record, schedule, or follow-up status so the conversation does not live only in the text thread.
Common mistakes to avoid
Writing like a blast
A pest control text should feel like service communication, not a mass email squeezed onto a phone screen.
No reply owner
If customers can reply, someone needs to own the inbox and know when to escalate.
Sending too late
Appointment and urgent-service texts lose value when they arrive after the customer has already moved on.
Forgetting opt-outs
Marketing campaigns need careful list management, opt-out handling, and permission-based practices.
