Built on Faith, Family & Service | EP 218
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Bug Bux Podcast, Allan Draper sits down with Jana Lloyd, owner of Antelope Hills Pest Control in Lincoln, California. What unfolds is not a typical growth or scaling story but a reminder of why many of us got into pest control in the first place.
Jana shares how she and her late husband built a one-route pest control business rooted in honesty, hard work, and community. After tragedy forced her to step fully into the field, first as a technician, then as the sole operator, Jana carried on the business while raising three children, serving the same customers for decades, and becoming a pillar of her small town.
This episode explores resilience, faith, family, and the often-overlooked beauty of staying small. From 30-year customer relationships to finding purpose through service during life’s hardest seasons, Jana’s story is a moving testament to what pest control can mean beyond trucks, routes, and revenue.
If you’ve ever questioned why you do what you do or wondered if growth is the only measure of success this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
