In this episode of the Bug Bucks Podcast, Allan welcomes Seth Fenn, the founder of Cura Pest Control and a third-generation pest professional with deep roots in the industry. After starting his career in pest control, Seth stepped away to gain valuable experience in the construction and finance sectors. Those years gave him a unique skill set and perspective that he later brought back into pest control when he launched Cura just six years ago.Since then, Cura has grown into one of Southern California's fastest-growing and most trusted pest control companies. Seth shares the behind-the-scenes story of how he built a strong brand in a competitive market and the role that platforms like Yelp and SEO played in establishing credibility and driving early growth. He also talks about the grind and rewards of building a 55-person door-knocking team, the leadership lessons he's learned along the way, and why staying disciplined with marketing and sales systems is key to scaling.This episode is full of practical takeaways for pest control owners at any stage — whether you're just getting started or looking to take your business to the next level. Seth's journey is proof that combining industry knowledge with outside experience and relentless effort can create powerful results.Check out Cura Pest Here: www.curapest.com

Published via HAUNT MANUAL via the HAUNTOMANCER CURRENT as well: https://keatsross.substack.com/p/cirkles-draftmagick THIS IS THE AUDIO FROM THE  CINEMATIK VIDEOMANCY RELEASE THAT WAS CASTED TO BE SEEN, NOT JUST HEARD, WATCH BELOW IF YOUR PODCATCHER DOESN’T HAVE THE VIDEO: (https://youtu.be/1D93jFcNT-M) I was reticent to widely share this hauntomantik videomancy cut-up… …largely because it makes a coming transformation manifest, and somewhat allows dark-maneuvered looky-loo's my coming whereabouts. But, fuck it, dude, life's a risk. Besides, the announcement embedded is too perfect an elipses and haunted coda for the Haunt Manual / Hauntomancy / Hauntomancer works writ large. Haunt Manual began with the Spektre working…a working that thrust my self-spektre to a temporal coordinants and the static atmosphere of the 2017 ghost I communed with back in 2022. And here we are, post the many workings, on the verge of the Hauntomancy-made-manifest ARTifact and HauntSIGIL, ALGOL, and the true PROSPEKTRE awakening all these years later… From the forthcoming SPEKTRIVIUM out via WE THE HALLOWED PRESS… In a perfect HAUNTOMANCY cirkle I'm now afforded to return having grown and sussed all since that truncated sojourn within the Portland Spektre of 2017 in 2022. It's too damn appropriate. Magick imitates art imitates life and back again… Where it all began: Disolver Eco Resonar ∴ Haunt Manual Revelator Rosz December 16, 2022 ∴ ABOUT THE EPISODE August brings a HAUNTOMANTIK look toward a seachange for PRAGMAGICK PODCAST and https://wethehallowed.org subscribers… The first few August uploads will be re-purposed, edited, transmuted and mutated transmissions originally found through https://patreon.com/pragmagick as a way to catch this current up before brand new transmissions and major announcements… The first was a look at “THREE MONTHS AGO” when the DIMMING ROOM was at it's apex construktion before I knew any better: ∴ PART 2: “CIRKLES” This one concerns the major ellipses and coda reach-around of Hauntomantik comings and goings… from the ROSZ AL GHUL to ROSZ ALGOL transformation, the WE THE HALLOWED 10 year growth, and the coming relocation that was written in the first working of HAUNTOMANCY's SPEKTRE WORKING all those years ago…1 The introduction is true documentarian footage of me finalizing the last SOMATICK package HEXKASSETTES while creating a VEXKASSETTE (a patreon subseries of unscripted micro-cassette vexations) the morning before I told my job that I would be leaving… In a more present reprieve, it discusses my recent stasis as disgruntled tinkerer, with an impromptu monologue about when an artist is ever really finished—considering, at the time, I was in the throws of the tinker saunter experimentation that felt was distracting from focused finality. Such as the ASPEKTRE is wont to do…2 A major tide is churning, both above and below, for Revelator Rosz. Of course, it just so happens to idio-synch with Rosz’s anarchic metaphysical and artistic praxis, HAUNTOMANCY, in that a forthcoming graphic primer / zine titled THE SPEKTRIVIUM is due next month along with the first three songs off the Hauntomantik debut album, ALGOL. The SPEKTRIVIUM previews: Listen to a mix from one of ALGOL 1's tracks, “CIRKLE (SONDER)” that features in the video above: https://on.soundcloud.com/HHH1BbfCBMphp67oDF The HAUNTOMANCY Primer refines years of the HAUNTOMANCER work through HAUNT MANUAL into concise graphics designed by yours truly that both preludes the full printed collection of writings while synchronizing the magicks-in-practice and execution within the audiomancy magicks of ALGOL. ∴ From ROSZ AL GHUL to ROSZ ALGOL “ALGOL,” the true debut from REVELATOR ROSZ (not counting the cassette-only release of its proto-born “ROSZ AL GHUL” which you can purchase via https://wethehallowed.bandcamp.com) is also rearing its true reveal. The track used in this podcast edit is of “GHEISZT”, a draft of the opening track from ALGOL. You can hear drafts, new mixes, and fleeting sonicks via soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/revelrosz Here is the song featured in the video above, from the forthcoming ALGOL 1 (first 3 song E.P. released from the 9 song album): As well as the closing’s live rendition of DISAPPEARER into the ‘DARK SURF MIX’ of DISAPPEARER – a version similar to ALGOL’s forthcoming. This second episode shares in the ASPEKTRE of the sacred self, THE GHOST WHO TINKERS WITH ABANDON at the apex of its Cascadian iterations utility and creative fervor. Of course, three weeks ago began the true launch outside the usual hyper cast & conjure liminalstream for the newfound HAUNTOMANCER imprint and “dead tech necromancy” specific media current. But now it makes perfect sense that it was the beginning of its rebirth. PART 3 will explore the Prospektre’s consistent punch of #hauntomancy and the revelry of creating an anarchic cartography and semiotics to a personal magickal system. It will bask in the ALGOL of it all… This Months' SOMATICK PARCELS via PATREON: Our newest SOMATICK package is going to look a little bit different this go round.

Send us a textThe Plant Movement Podcast is back in a brand-new studio for a milestone Episode 80, featuring a powerful conversation with Richard Mancias, owner of Buzzkill Pest Control & Fertilization. With over 15 years of experience specializing in outdoor pest control for lawns and ornamentals, Richard shares his journey from starting out at a landscape company in the mid-2000s to building his own business based on honesty, service, and results.Richard takes us back to the days when fig whitefly devastated South Florida landscapes, forcing homeowners and landscapers to find urgent solutions. He explains how the industry has evolved, the importance of rotating chemicals to prevent resistance, and why knowledge and timing are everything when treating pests like aphids, thrips, and whiteflies.But this episode goes far beyond pest control. Richard opens up about:• The importance of doing the little things right and treating every property with care.• Building strong relationships between landscapers, pest control professionals, and irrigation specialists.• Why owner-operators bring more passion and accountability than large corporations.• His philosophy of service: “As long as I keep doing good work, everybody keeps eating.”We also dive into the realities of running a business—pricing, investing in the right equipment, and the mental battle of overcoming self-doubt. Richard talks about his decision to give up drinking, the clarity it brought him, and how he's reshaped his life and business with discipline, respect, and a focus on serving others.For landscapers, business owners, and anyone chasing growth in 2025, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom, raw honesty, and inspiration.

In this episode of Two by Two, we discuss pest control. It's an old industry with little to no innovation, but there's reason to take notice.Currently valued at $1.8 billion, the market is projected to grow to $3.1 billion by 2033, clocking a steady annual growth rate of 15%.Private equity wants in. Two service providers have been acquired by UK-based Rentokil. One is Pest Control India (PCI), which was once the market leader. The other is Hicare, which was the second-largest player.Hicare's journey is particularly interesting. It was launched by Godrej in 2004 with the help of Arumugham Mahendran, whose mosquito-repellant business was acquired by Godrej in 1994. Then, it was sold to ISS, a Danish firm, in 2013. Later, it was acquired by a private equity fund called IVFA (now True North). True North held it for 10 years before selling it to Rentokil last year. Meanwhile, Pecopp is another pest control company that is leaving a mark. Founded in 1970 in Mumbai, Pecopp is different from PCI in that it remains family-run, and has managed to go toe-to-toe with Rentokil. Pecopp is the only other Indian pest-control business that operates in multiple cities. All of this is taking place in a market where 55–60% is unorganised, and only 40–45% of demand is met by professional services. Hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan dig into these questions and explore the nooks and crannies of India's pest control industry. Our guest, Siddharth Balwani, the director of Pecopp, breaks down his company's strategy, the market dynamics, and future opportunities. This episode of Two by Two was mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer. If you liked this episode of Two by Two, please share it with your friends, colleagues, and anyone else who might be interested.

Wormwood-strewn floors. Poisoned rat cakes. Bounties on hedgehogs. No, it's not a dark fairy tale—it's real Tudor pest control. In a world without bug spray or exterminators, how did the Tudors tackle fleas, flies, rats, mice… and even moths? Let's just say… they got creative. And ruthless. I'm Claire Ridgway, historian and author—and in today's video, we're diving into the bizarre, herbal, and sometimes horrifying methods the Tudors used to defend their homes (and health!) from pests. You'll discover: - Why strewing herbs were scattered on floors - What the Goodman of Paris suggested for catching fleas - The deadly ingredients in Tudor rat cakes - Why hedgehogs were considered milk thieves - And the law that made people bounty hunters If you enjoy strange corners of history, click Like, Subscribe, and hit the bell to get more true Tudor tales every week.

In this powerful solo episode, Allan Draper dives deep into one of the most important decisions a business owner will ever make, who to hire first when starting or scaling a pest control company.Allan breaks down the first five hires he recommends for building a company that doesn't just survive, but thrives without you. He starts with why your first technician should be someone you can see growing into a leadership role like branch manager. Then, he moves into the importance of hiring a versatile office admin, a true “Swiss Army knife” who can adapt with your company and eventually settle into a role that maximizes their natural talents.Next, Allan talks about bringing in a contracted accountant early, not a full-time hire, but a key part of the puzzle to keep your finances in order and protect your business long-term. Then comes your first experienced sales rep, someone who already knows how to close deals and possibly lead future reps. Finally, Allan shares why your fifth hire should be another technician to build your service capacity.But this episode isn't just about hiring. Allan shares critical advice about when to hire, how to pay, and how to make sure your team is set up for long-term success. He also unpacks a powerful mindset shift to help business owners avoid burnout and regain control of their time, offering a preview of his upcoming book and his three-stage framework for growing a business that operates without your constant involvement.Whether you're launching your pest control company or feeling overwhelmed by your current team, this episode is a must-listen. Allan's insights will help you grow with purpose, hire with clarity, and build a company that works for you, not the other way around.

This podcast has really started to go all over the place, so take a listen to Ashley and Chris ramble on about a whole slew of nonsense and then eventually get to our subject of the day: creating regulars. Speaking Canadian, orcas (again), pest control horror stories, kids in bars, eye drops… the list goes on. And, you'll finally hear about regulars and how important they are to our success. Prost!

Καλεσμένος ο Δρ. Αντώνιος Μιχαηλάκης, Ερευνητής-Εντομολόγος στο Μπενάκειο Φυτοπαθολογικό Ινστιτούτο και Αν. Μέλος του Διοικητικού Συμβουλίου του Εθνικού Οργανισμού Δημόσιας Υγείας στην Ελλάδα. Μικρό, σχεδόν αόρατο… Ναι, το άκουσες. Εκείνο το λεπτό, εκνευριστικό βουητό δίπλα στο αυτί σου. Είναι… ένα κουνούπι. Ένα τόσο μικρό πλάσμα, που μπορεί να σε ξυπνήσει, να σε τσιμπήσει ακόμα και να σε αρρωστήσει… Αν σου έλεγα ότι το πιο επικίνδυνο ζώο στον κόσμο δεν είναι ο καρχαρίας, ούτε το φίδι, αλλά... το κουνούπι; Στο σημερινό επεισόδιο, μπαίνουμε στον κόσμο των κουνουπιών. Ανακαλύπτουμε γιατί μας τσιμπάνε και πώς επιλέγουν τα «θύματα» τους. Τι ρόλο παίζουν όχι μόνο στο καλοκαιρινό μας βράδυ, αλλά και στην παγκόσμια υγεία και πως μπορούμε να προστατευτούμε.

David is the founder and chairman of Aptive Environmental providing pest solutions to thousands of cities in 34 states. David's companies have been highlighted in national publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Entrepreneur, and Inc. Magazine.

Unlicensed, the first fiction show created by Jeffrey and Joseph since Night Vale, returns for a third season.⁠  Lou Rosen and Molly Hatch are unlicensed private detectives, scraping by on whatever cases they can get from their little office on the fringes of LA County. Reeling from a devastating betrayal and a major earthquake, this season finds Lou and Molly trying to rebuild their lives and evaluate their futures. But those futures might not be as long as they hope. Lou and Molly start what appears to be a quiet case: a series of strange home break-ins all involving ex-employees of a defunct Long Beach stereo manufacturer. But this case will quickly bring them up against an opponent more ruthless and resourceful than they've ever faced before. Lou and Molly have always gotten by on their wits, but what to do when facing an enemy who can outmatch them in both wits and violence? A cat and mouse game through the forgotten regions of Southern California, including a shady direct-to-video movie studio, the unglamorous workers neighborhoods of glamorous Catalina Island, and the distant remote parts of the desert, where help cannot reach you in time. There will be grave danger. There will be deaths. But maybe some things matter more than survival. ⁠Listen with a free Audible trial today.  Learn more about your ad choices.
