    Casey McDaniel - Pest Control & Crazy Exit Multiples

    Pest control companies sell for some of the highest multiples of any services businesses - this podcast uncovers why. Patrick Dichter and Clint Fiore interview Casey McDaniel, the co-founder of King Pest Solutions. We discuss Casey's journey of scaling to +$2M within 3 years, what the business might sell for today, and Casey's exit number he'd be happy to 'retire' with. Casey also details the ups and downs of a recent tuck in acquisition and how they think about organic growth vs buying more pest control companies.  Casey McDaniel on X: https://x.com/pestctrlguyKing Pest Solutions: https://www.kingpests.com/Eversite - show sponsor & digital marketing: Eversite.com/inspiredClint Fiore & Dealonomy: https://www.dealonomy.com/Patrick Dichter & Appletree: https://appletreebusiness.com/
