After a pest control treatment, the wrong follow-up question can accidentally create complaints—usually by implying results should be instant or by forcing customers to write a long explanation. The right approach is expectation-first: tell customers what’s normal (including temporary increased activity), give a simple timeframe, and then ask low-effort questions that help you route issues fast. This article gives a practical after-treatment follow-up playbook: a same-day expectation message, a day-two one-tap check-in, and a day 7–10 “is it improving?” confirmation. You’ll get exact wording that avoids blame, avoids overpromising, and prevents customers from feeling dismissed. You’ll also learn how to handle negative responses without debate and how VisibleFeedback can automate these check-ins, alert you instantly on problems, and track resolution so complaints don’t become cancellations or bad reviews.
