Growing a Pest Control Company During Tough Financial Times

When Jeff Simmons first stepped into pest control, he was just a college student looking for a summer sales job. Now, as the Owner of Malang Pest Control, he has built a thriving business from scratch — even launching during the Great Recession in 2009.

Jeff shares how he bootstrapped his business with no loans, leveraged door-to-door sales, and navigated industry shifts to create a sustainable and successful pest control company. He also reveals how COVID unexpectedly boosted his business and why embracing technology, like FieldRoutes software, is crucial for growth.
