Pest calls are urgent to the caller. In wasp season, the first company that answers gets the job.
The right jobs marked urgent
Nests near doors, children or allergic people, and rodents in food businesses are flagged urgent. Everything else is sorted by how soon it's needed.
Safe, simple advice only
Keep away, don't move the nest, 999 for a serious reaction. Hello Anytime never recommends poisons or DIY treatments.

- How long it's been going on

Can it take commercial contract enquiries?
Yes. It asks for the business name, type of premises and any inspection or environmental health deadline.
Will it quote for wasp nests?
Only the "from" prices you add, and it says you'll confirm the price once you know the job.
What about a tenant with mice?
It takes the details and notes that they rent, so you can check who is paying before you go.
Do I keep my number?
Yes. Customers keep ringing your usual number. You forward only the calls you miss to a Hello Anytime number we give you, which your customers never need to know.
When does Hello Anytime answer?
Your phone rings first. If you don't pick up within about 20 seconds, the call goes to Hello Anytime. On a mobile the divert code is **61*your Hello Anytime number**20#, and you can change the 20 to 5, 10, 15, 25 or 30 seconds. You can also send every call straight to Hello Anytime, for example at night, and switch it back with a short code.
What about a landline?
Mobiles use one short code. Landlines divert differently depending on your provider, and some (like BT) may charge for it. We'll help you set it up.
