Can a Family Pest Control Business Beat Private Equity? | David Galvagni & Sean Paul Cronin II
Episode Description
Why are investors so interested in pest-control and other home-service businesses?
In this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, Eric Winegard, CEO of Rare Blue Moon Marketing, sits down with David Galvagni, Owner of Command Pest Control and Sean Paul Cronin II, Owner, Bug Lady Pest Control, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, family business, pest control and the growing interest from buyers in the home-service industry.
David shares the moment early in his life that convinced him he did not want to spend his career working for someone else, how he built his pest-control business, and how dramatically his mindset and income changed later in life. He also discusses the increasing number of acquisition inquiries he has received and why he has chosen to continue building rather than simply selling.
The conversation also looks at the next chapter: Command Pest Control being incorporated into the Bug Lady brand, plans to expand throughout Florida, keeping operations in-house and building a company that can eventually serve the next generation.
And, of course, they get into the wild side of pest control: bed bugs, rats, roaches, mosquitoes, termites, bees, and some of the worst infestations they have encountered.
