A familiar moment

The sound behind the kitchen units

You are inspecting another property when a tenant calls after hearing scratching and finding damaged food packaging. Ziverly can capture where and when the signs appeared, what the caller has safely observed, the property type, children or vulnerable occupants, pets, landlord or agent involvement and contact details. It does not identify the animal, advise poisons or traps, or ask the caller to handle droppings, nests or an unknown substance.

The useful handover

Enough context to respond properly.

The aim is to welcome the caller, gather the details you decide matter and keep the same enquiry easy to follow until the work is resolved.

  • Who is calling and how to reach them.
  • What they need help with and where.
  • What should happen next, without inventing a response time.

Where the pressure tends to gather

Make space for the work without leaving the caller in the dark.

Think about the calls that interrupt you most often. Ziverly can follow the questions and boundaries you choose, then leave the details ready for your judgement.

Descriptions can be uncertain

Sounds, bites, marks and droppings may help your questions, but they do not establish a species or treatment from a call.

Customers may already have tried products

DIY treatments, moved bait and disturbed areas can affect the information and the safe next step.

Household context matters

Children, pets, vulnerable people, food areas and neighbouring properties may all shape your own risk assessment and method.

What a better handover can change

Less interruption now, a clearer thread afterwards.

Observations gathered without judgement

Let the caller explain signs, timing and affected areas calmly, without Ziverly claiming to know what caused them.

Important household details visible

See pets, occupants, tenancy involvement and any products already used before you decide how to respond.

Repeat activity has continuity

Add an approved visit, preparation or monitoring note so a returning customer receives the right context for their property.

Adiel, The Spirit of Service

Someone calling about domestic pest control is a person asking for help, not a conversion statistic. A calm welcome can make the next step easier for both of you.

Before, during and after the call

From first ring to finished follow-up.

Ziverly can do more than take a message. You stay in control of when it answers, how you hear about each call and what context is available if the customer rings again.

  1. You decide which calls reach Ziverly.

    Use the call-diversion options supported by your mobile or landline service, such as no reply, unreachable, busy or rejected. Turn them off again whenever you want to answer normally, or use cover for evenings, weekends, holidays and unexpected time away.

  2. Your call details meet you where you are.

    Choose email or SMS alerts where enabled, then open Ziverly to review the summary, transcript, recording where available, status and priority.

    See the signs observed, location, timing, property type, occupants, pets, tenancy involvement and products already used before returning the call.

  3. The next conversation starts further forwards.

    Add an AI-facing note when you want Ziverly to have more context if the same known caller rings again. Separate private notes stay private.

    Add an approved visit, preparation, monitoring or follow-up question so Ziverly has current context if activity is reported again.

  4. Open calls do not have to rely on memory.

    Choose a daily or weekly email summary of calls still waiting for attention, at the time that best fits your working day.

  5. You can check in by phone, too.

    With Owner Voice Access enabled, call your own Ziverly number, verify your PIN and manage the calls you are allowed to see.

    Hear which pest enquiries await identification, a visit, customer preparation or further monitoring and update their status securely by phone.

Use your own numbers

What might unanswered calls represent for your business?

If an average treatment is worth around £450 to your business, even one suitable enquiry can be worth understanding properly. Replace that example with your own figures below.

The result is an illustration based only on what you enter. It is not a forecast, a promise that Ziverly will recover the work or a reason to accept an unsuitable job.

This simple multiplication does not account for timing, capacity, costs, cancellations, repeat work or whether another response would have changed the outcome.

Useful boundaries for call handling

Let Ziverly gather details without overstepping your expertise.

Biocide and pesticide use is controlled by product authorisations and health and safety law; wildlife legislation restricts treatment of some species.

You remain responsible for the advice you give, the work you accept and the safety, eligibility and professional checks your business requires.

A few practical questions

What would you want to know before starting?

Use these answers to decide where Ziverly could help and where the conversation should always return to you.

Can Ziverly identify the pest?

No. It records observations, while identification follows the evidence and professional checks your service uses.

Will it recommend a pesticide, bait or trap?

No. Ziverly does not advise treatment products or ask callers to handle potentially contaminated material.

Can it promise one visit will solve the problem?

No. Treatment, monitoring and likely results depend on your assessment and the conditions at the property.

Try the smallest useful version

Begin with the calls that interrupt your working day most often.

Choose what Ziverly should know, what it should never promise and which details make a follow-up genuinely useful. Creating an account is free, so you can look around before deciding when you want Ziverly to handle a call.

No monthly or annual plan is required and there is no fixed-term commitment. Add pay-as-you-go credit only when you are ready to use it.
