Our story

Owners helping owners

2020

Bug Bux was originally called 'Start and Grow Your Pest Control Company' and began as a Facebook group, a handful of pest control owners sharing what actually worked. It was owners helping owners from the very first post.

2021

In 2021 it grew into a podcast. Allan started having honest, no-fluff conversations about what it really takes to run a pest control company, with the owners who live it every day.

2023

In 2023 came the courses. The lessons that had been passed around in conversations became something any owner could sit down and learn, step by step, at their own pace.

Today

Today, nearly 6,000 owners are part of Bug Bux. What started as a single Facebook group is now a real community, and the heart of it is exactly what it was on day one: owners helping owners.
