Why SMS Works for Pest Control Billing
Most customers expect to receive texts about appointments—why not use SMS to close the loop on billing too? Whether you're invoicing after a one-time job or managing recurring pest control plans, text message reminders help ensure you get paid on time.
Benefits of SMS payment reminders:
- Faster responses: 97% of texts are read within minutes
- Higher collection rates: Short, friendly reminders reduce overdue invoices
- Less awkwardness: No uncomfortable calls or confrontations
- Easy automation: Send messages based on invoice status or due dates
It’s a modern solution for a common small business headache.
When to Send SMS Invoice and Payment Reminders
Here’s a recommended message sequence for pest control teams:
On Invoice Sent
“Thanks for choosing Apex Pest Control! Your invoice for $165 is ready. You can pay online here: [link]”
1 Day Before Due Date
“Just a friendly reminder—your pest control invoice is due tomorrow. Pay online anytime: [link]”
1–2 Days Overdue
“Hi [First Name], your pest service invoice is a couple days past due. Let us know if you need help or pay here: [link]”
3–5 Days Late with Final Notice
“Final reminder: Your pest control invoice is still unpaid. Please complete payment today to avoid late fees: [link]”

FAQs About SMS Billing Reminders
Is it OK to text customers about billing?
Yes—as long as they’ve opted in to receive messages. Billing-related texts are common and generally well-received when written respectfully.
Can I include payment links in the message?
Absolutely. Sakari supports clickable short links so customers can pay instantly via your billing platform or payment portal.
How often should I follow up on unpaid invoices?
We recommend a three-message sequence: on invoice send, one day before due, and 2–3 days after if still unpaid. After that, escalate based on your policy.
Can this work for recurring pest control clients?
Yes. You can schedule automated monthly or quarterly billing reminders based on treatment frequency or plan type.
What if I use QuickBooks or a third-party invoicing tool?
Sakari can integrate with CRMs or connect via API/Zapier to trigger texts based on external invoice events.
