Only after you've seen the property or a photo. A range in the follow-up call is better than a number that changes on the first visit. ### Who should call back about lawn treatments? A licensed applicator where your state requires one. Many states license pesticide application separately from mowing. ### What if we're fully booked? Say how far ahead you're booking and offer to hold the next opening. An honest wait beats silence. ## Sources 1.
