Why I started What’s Bugging You?
I’ve been in pest control for years, and the biggest thing I noticed wasn’t the bugs — it was the misinformation. Homeowners Googling “how to get rid of mice” were finding articles written by people who’d never actually crawled through an attic. Tips that don’t work. Products that are dangerous. Myths that won’t die.
So I started What’s Bugging You? — a weekly podcast where I share what I actually see in Kansas City homes. No corporate scripts. No sales pitches. Just real pest and wildlife information from someone who does this work every day.
Every episode is about 15-20 minutes and covers one specific topic — from brown recluse spiders and cockroach species to rodents in attic insulation, bat colonies, raccoon damage, and seasonal pest pressure. If you have a pest question, there’s probably an episode for it.
