What are you really paying for in pest control?

Most property managers think they’re buying price.

Most owners and technicians think they’re defending cost.

But neither side is actually talking about value—or outcomes.

In this episode, we walk through a fictional but painfully familiar story that shows why cheap pricing never buys peace, why discounting quietly undermines your authority, and how to replace price-driven language with outcome-driven conversations.

If you’re tired of apologizing for your pricing, getting pressured to discount, or watching customers choose the lowest bid and regret it later, this episode is for you.

This is a conversation about confidence, clarity, and communicating value—without being pushy, defensive, or salesy.

"5 Questions That Will Diagnose The Problem"
Most pest control failures don’t happen because of bad products or bad technicians.
They happen because the problem was never properly diagnosed.
In this episode of the Pest Profits Podcast, we break down the 5 questions every technician must ask before treating anything. If you skip these questions, you’re not solving problems—you’re chasing symptoms.
We talk about:
• Why most callbacks aren’t pest problems; they’re communication problems
• How treating symptoms creates unrealistic customer expectations
• The difference between control, elimination, and long-term success
• How to set a clear path for the customer—and get buy-in
• Why pest control is really 80–90% communication
If you’re tired of callbacks, frustrated customers, and feeling like you’re constantly defending your work, this episode will change how you approach every service call.
👉 Diagnose before you treat.
👉 Ask better questions.
👉 Stop chasing your tail.

Most stress in pest control doesn’t come from customers — it comes from what happens in your head before the conversation. In this episode, we walk through a simple, repeatable framework to reset your confidence before upgrades, exclusions, inspections, and budget conversations.

Using the idea that “we suffer more in imagination than reality,” this episode helps technicians, managers, and owners stop feeling like salespeople and start leading customers toward the best decision, not the cheapest one.

This isn’t about scripts or pressure. It’s about mindset, truth, value, and clarity — so you can walk into every conversation calm, confident, and professional.
