    Pest Control Software Built for Columbus Operators

    New subdivisions keep spreading out past Dublin, Hilliard, and New Albany while the Short North and German Village carry dense pre-war multifamily stock that never fully clears out its German cockroach population. Our AI systems answer every Columbus call the moment it rings, in the ZIP code it actually belongs to.

    Typical Columbus implementation goes live in about 30-60 days.

    Why Columbus splits into a new-build market and an old urban core

    A city that has annexed its way to Ohio's largest population while still carrying a dense, century-old urban core creates two very different call patterns on the same phone line.

    Dublin, New Albany, and Hilliard subdivisions keep adding untreated slabs

    New construction along the Route 33 and I-270 corridors puts fresh homes on disturbed soil every month, and first-time buyers in these subdivisions have never bought a termite bond before and need to be walked through it, not just quoted a number over text.

    Short North and German Village apartments cycle German cockroaches between units

    Pre-1960 brick multifamily buildings around High Street share plumbing chases that let German cockroaches move unit to unit, so a single tenant complaint in these neighborhoods usually means the property manager needs a building-wide bid, not a one-off spray.

    Franklinton and the Scioto floodplain see basement pest surges after storms

    Low-lying blocks near the Scioto River in Franklinton flood with enough regularity that camel crickets and moisture-loving pests spike in basements within days of a heavy spring storm, a pattern crews on the Dublin side of the metro rarely see.

    Ohio State's campus district drives a bed bug and roach call spike every August

    Turnover in the dense rental stock around the Ohio State University campus concentrates a wave of move-in bed bug and roach calls each fall semester that a fixed CSR staff planned around a normal season will not be ready for.

    What we build for you

    What that means for your phones and your crews

    We configure around a metro where a Dublin homeowner buying their first termite bond and a German Village property manager reporting a building-wide roach issue need completely different handling.

    Walk first-time Dublin and New Albany buyers through the sale

    Voice AI answers new-construction termite bond calls live, explains coverage in plain terms, and books the inspection instead of losing an unfamiliar buyer to a competitor who picks up first.

    Flag Short North and German Village buildings for property-wide bids

    Messaging AI captures building address on every intake, so a repeat German cockroach complaint in the same building triggers outreach to the property manager instead of a single unit visit.

    What AI adoption looks like in Columbus

    Columbus operators are pulled between a fast-expanding new-build ring where buyers need education and a dense old urban core where property managers need documented, building-wide response. Those are two different sales conversations happening on the same phone number, and the ones who separate them fastest keep both segments happy.

    • New Albany and Dublin subdivisions generate a steady stream of first-time termite bond buyers who need explanation, not just a quote
    • Short North and German Village multifamily buildings need property-wide bids tracked by building address
    • OSU campus-district turnover produces a predictable bed bug and roach spike every August
