  1. Ryan Marshall: Why Service Managers Are the Real Growth Lever in Pest Control

    Ryan Marshall: Why Service Managers Are the Real Growth Lever in Pest Control

    On this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Ryan Marshall, founder and CEO of Vinx Pest Control. Ryan started Vinx in 2015 with a $10,000 Costco credit card, a white truck, and a bunch of stickers he ordered online. Eleven years later, Vinx is a multi-state operation with locations across Utah, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia servicing tens of thousands of homes, and Ryan has become one of the top operators in the door-to-door pest control space. Ryan makes the case that service managers, not sales reps, are the real growth lever most pest control owners are overlooking. He breaks down what he actually looks for when hiring service managers, why he wants them in the field instead of the office, and how a great service leader bridges the retention gap that kills most door-to-door companies. He also gets specific on how Vinx got their technicians to embrace upgrades without using the word sell, the Roger Bannister effect inside a technician team, and why paying up for A-plus talent has been one of the harder but more important lessons of his career. The second half of the conversation goes deep on the tactical side. Ryan shares the initial-service pricing study that changed how they pay door-to-door reps, the selfie-style proof of service videos that have transformed customer retention, how implementing EOS helped them cut average route miles from the fifties down to the low twenties, and the specific KPIs Vinx tracks every week. If you're scaling a pest control company, wrestling with door-to-door attrition, or trying to figure out where your real bottlenecks are, this episode will give you a full playbook of things to steal.

  2. Preston Peterson: Scaling Alta Pest Control to $70M+ (M&A, Leadership, and Faith)

    APR 29

    Preston Peterson: Scaling Alta Pest Control to $70M+ (M&A, Leadership, and Faith)

    On this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Preston Peterson, co-owner of Alta Pest Control, ranked #26 on the PCT Top 100. Preston started out selling pest control door to door, built Ardent Pest Control onto the Inc 5000 for seven consecutive years, then merged with Alta in 2022 to create one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry. He has had six exits in pest control and now owns multiple businesses across different industries from his home base in Puerto Rico. Preston walks through the full story of the Ardent and Alta merger, a rare true strategic merger where neither company bought the other, and explains why seeing the bigger picture is what makes deals like that possible. He breaks down the private equity process that followed, why he stepped back from the CEO seat after 20 years of running companies, and why most pest control owners stay small because of ego rather than strategy. He also gets tactical on culture, sharing the specific things Ardent did to create a company where technicians literally tattooed the logo on their bodies. The conversation also goes somewhere most business podcasts don't. Preston opens up about the depression he experienced after his biggest exit, the identity crisis of having money but no purpose, and the day trading losses that came with it. He shares how faith, serving the youth at his church in Puerto Rico, and returning to vision-based goal setting pulled him out of it, and why chasing results without becoming the person who can handle those results is the fastest way to lose everything. Whether you're bootstrapping your first branch, eyeing a merger, or wondering what comes after the exit, this episode will give you a lot to think about.

    Greg Young: Selling Natura Pest Control for $4M and Rebuilding to $7M+ (from Scratch)

    On this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Greg Young, co-founder of Natura Pest Control. Greg has spent nearly two decades building pest control businesses across the US. He started his first company in 2012, scaled it to five offices, and sold it to Terminix in 2017 for over $4 million — then started over from scratch that same year and has since built back to roughly $7 million in revenue. Greg opens up about the hard lessons from his first company, including why being three salespeople-turned-owners created a business that was great at selling accounts but terrible at keeping them. He walks through the partnership dynamics that shaped two decades of his career, how to recognize when partners want fundamentally different things, and why getting brutally honest about what you actually want is the single biggest unlock for an owner. He also explains how his perception of money completely shifted post-exit, and how that change reshaped every decision in the rebuild. The conversation goes deep on building a customer-centric operation, including the 7-step customer experience roadmap Natura uses to drive retention, why your professional background (sales, tech, accounting) silently defines how you run your company, and how they took churn from 38% down to 14%. Greg and Dan also cover when door-to-door is the right play versus when it becomes a long-term liability, what traits actually matter in a business partner, and why the most important job of a pest control owner is finding the #1 bottleneck holding the business back — which is often the owner himself.

    Carmen Reino: From a $120K Acquisition to Eight Figures in Pest Control

    On this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Carmen Reino, founder and president of Anchor Pest Control out of East Brunswick, New Jersey. Carmen left a career in IT on Wall Street, bought a small pest control company for $120,000 with zero industry experience, and has since built it into an eight-figure operation servicing the entire tri-state area. Carmen breaks down exactly how he grew, from landing housing authority bids and deploying one of the first bed bug detection dogs, to building a review culture that's generated over 13,000 Google reviews across four locations. He shares why he stayed mostly commercial for nearly two decades before shifting toward residential, how he grew 25% last year with almost no marketing spend, and the hard lessons he learned from two failed acquisitions. This conversation also gets into the specific tools and strategies Carmen uses to stay ahead, from AI sales coaching with Siro, to branded water bottles at local little leagues, to incentive structures that pay technicians an extra $1,000 to $2,000 a month. Whether you're stuck at $2 million or pushing toward eight figures, Carmen's approach to branding, hiring competitive people, and borrowing from other home service industries is full of ideas you can act on today.

    Paul Alley: Building a 42-Person Pest Control Empire with Under 1% Churn

    On this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Paul Alley, president of Pestmaster Services of the Hudson Valley and a 39-year veteran of the pest control industry. Paul is an associate certified entomologist, a bedbug detection canine handler, and the leader of the #1 franchise in the entire Pestmaster system with a team of 42 professionals.Paul and his wife Amy started from scratch in 2001, doing just $35,000 in revenue their first year in a market where they knew nobody. Today they service everything from residential accounts to government contracts at West Point Military Academy and the New York Governor's Mansion — and Paul maintains a customer churn rate under 1%, with clients staying an average of 7 to 10 years.In this conversation, Paul breaks down how he built that kind of loyalty through old-fashioned customer service, his no-nonsense hiring process (including why he walks every candidate to their car), how he and Amy divide responsibilities to run the business together, and how he now manages the entire operation remotely from a fishing dock in Vero Beach, Florida. This one is packed with real lessons on leadership, trust, and building a company that runs without you in the truck.Paul Alley, Owner of Pestmaster Services of the Hudson Valley:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-alley-ace-975144aFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulalleysrDan Leibrandt, Host of Pest Control Legends:Facebook: https://facebook.com/DanLeibrandtOfficial LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/danleibrandt/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DanLeibrandt Website: https://danleibrandt.comPest Control Legends Platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PestControlLegends Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/46XRaco5nPWcqHWIoQ2eZ5Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pest-control-legends/id1768175212Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b060991d-e5d5-4683-b83f-8db469714ba7/pest-control-legends Podcast Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Paul Alley02:34 Building the Pestmaster Franchise04:14 Navigating Government Contracts11:30 The Role of Family in Business12:21 Importance of CRM and Software15:42 Opening New Markets in Pest Control18:37 Generating Leads and Sales20:28 Customer Retention Strategies22:54 Hiring and Trust in the Workplace33:38 Balancing Business and Personal Life49:43 Final Thoughts and Advice#pestcontrolmarketing #pestcontrolbusiness #pestcontroladvertising #pestcontrolleads #pestcontrolads #pestcontrollegends #danleibrandt #pestcontrolowner #pestcontrolpodcast

    Chad Louk: From a Rusted Truck to an 8-Figure Pest Control Empire

    In this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Chad Louk, the founder of Prodigy Pest Solutions and Prodigy Marketing Pros. Chad shares his journey from getting recruited into door-to-door sales right out of high school to building a multi-branch, eight-figure pest control operation across Florida — starting with just $7,000 and a beat-up Ford Ranger. He opens up about his rough first summer selling only 78 accounts, the years he spent stuck in the truck as a one-man show, and what it finally took to step out of the field and into a true leadership role. Chad breaks down the nuts and bolts of how he uses door-to-door sales to break into new markets, including his strategy of growing a branch to $2 million before scaling back and layering in other marketing channels. He also shares his approach to training reps as technicians first, why he believes in hiring ahead even when it hurts short-term profits, and how his technicians are now driving revenue through cross-selling services like rodent exclusion and termite treatments. Whether you're a solo operator trying to get out of the truck or an established company looking for new ways to grow, this episode is packed with real-world lessons on scaling, team building, and knowing when to take risks. Chad also discusses the realities of acquisitions at different company sizes, the KPIs he tracks daily, and why being friendly with your competition might be one of the smartest moves you can make.

    Jared LaJaunie: Why It Took 9 Years to Hit $1M (Then $12M Just 7 Years Later)

    In this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Jared LaJaunie, founder and CEO of LaJaunie's Pest Control, one of the most impressive regional pest control companies on the Gulf Coast doing over $12 million in annual revenue. Jared shares his remarkable journey from starting as a $10/hour termite technician at Orkin at age 19 to building a multi-location operation with dozens of trucks and a large team. He breaks down why it took him 9 years to reach $1 million in revenue, and how he then grew to over $12 million in just the next 7 years after joining a mastermind and completely transforming his mindset and systems. Jared reveals the exact turning point that changed everything: joining a mastermind with Donnie Shelton and other successful operators who were doing far more revenue than him. He explains the systems he implemented that he wasn't doing before, including building an inside sales team, switching from monthly to quarterly auto-pay services, tracking KPIs and making data-driven decisions, and creating SOPs for every service. Jared also shares why most pest control owners face the same recurring problems (hint: it's almost always mindset), how to properly look at your numbers to make better decisions, why raising prices is essential for growth, and the truth about staying busy year-round even in cold climates. Whether you're stuck at under $1 million and can't seem to break through, struggling to get out of the field and stop being a technician, or looking to scale past $5 million with better systems and leadership, this episode delivers hard-earned lessons from someone who's been in the trenches and built an 8-figure company.

    In this episode of Pest Control Legends, Dan Leibrandt interviews Chase Goodeill, president of Goodall Holdings and CEO of Pest Control Consultants, the largest privately-held pest control company in Illinois doing over $11 million in annual revenue. Chase breaks down how he transformed his family's small pest control business into a multi-state operation through strategic acquisitions, inside sales mastery, and a relentless focus on recurring revenue. He shares his journey from working as a technician with his dad to taking full ownership in 2021 and doubling revenue year-over-year multiple times. Chase reveals his complete playbook for sustainable growth, including how his inside sales team closed $3 million in recurring revenue in one year, why recurring contracts are the "holy grail" of the pest control industry, and the exact systems he uses to convert leads into quarterly customers. He walks through his 10 acquisitions since 2019, sharing hard-earned lessons from deals gone wrong, how to protect yourself with holdback clauses, and why maintaining acquired companies' digital assets can generate massive free leads. Chase also explains his approach to door-to-door sales, how to finance million-dollar acquisitions without PE backing, and why leveraging real estate equity has been key to his growth strategy. Whether you're a solo operator looking to scale past $3 million, considering your first acquisition, or trying to build a high-performing inside sales team, this episode delivers actionable strategies from someone who's grown a pest control company to 8 figures while staying privately held.
