What would you do if you only had $5,000 to start your pest control company? In this special roundtable episode, Allan Draper is joined by industry pros Paul Alley, Kyle Weaver, and Bill Kellough to break down exactly how they'd launch from scratch, no fluff, just real experience.

From licensing, insurance, and budgeting to guerrilla marketing, social media strategies, and answering your phone at 2 AM, these guys cover what matters when every dollar counts. Whether you're starting out or tightening up your early-game strategy, this episode is packed with practical advice, personal stories, and zero-BS insights.
