If you’re thinking about starting a pest control business or you're knee-deep in building one, this episode is for you.

I get real about the hard, unexpected, and often painful realities of being a pest control owner. From surprise cancellations and one-star reviews to sleepless nights and the pressure of making payroll, I lay it all out. The stuff no one tells you when you're getting started.

But I also share why, despite the stress, setbacks, and ego hits, running your own business is absolutely worth it.

You’ll walk away feeling seen, supported, and ready to keep pushing forward, even when it’s hard.

If you're in the middle of the grind, you’re not alone.

In this episode of The Route, I get real about the biggest bottleneck holding back pest control businesses under $1 million in revenue: not enough people know who you are.

If you’re stuck in constant fire-fighting mode, dealing with broken equipment, missed invoices, or customer service issues, this episode is your wake-up call. I share why focusing on visibility and brand awareness is the fastest path to growth, how to block out time to get your name out there, and why letting a few fires burn might be exactly what your business needs.

Whether you're doing $100K or $900K, this mindset shift could be the game changer.
