From Zero to a Pest Control Powerhouse | EP 203
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.
