An Evening with Lisa Botts
What happens when customers, coworkers, or complete strangers underestimate you before you even start the job? Jenny and Kandyce are diving into the stories pest control pros know all too well — being judged for being too young, too small, too female, too tattooed, too overweight, or just “not what people expected.” This episode is packed with hilarious listener submissions, frustrating customer encounters, industry stories, and plenty of moments where proving people wrong became the best part of the job. Whether you work in pest control or just love hearing real stories from people who refuse to fit the mold, this one’s for you. 🎙️ Topics include: • Being underestimated in the field • Female technicians in pest control • Customer assumptions and stereotypes • Crawlspace and attic horror stories • Tattoos, age, appearance, and professionalism • Why results matter more than first impressions Thanks for listening to Pestrogen Podcast — and remember to go out and kick some ass.

This week is all about random stories and real-life chaos — the kind that only happens when you work in pest control. The conversation jumps from surprise island trips and hotel inspections to horrifying roach infestations, ant colonies hidden in ceilings, bad pest control practices, and the weird things you can never stop noticing once you’ve worked in the industry. Along the way, the duo swaps stories from listeners, reacts to some truly nightmare-inducing pest situations, and gets an unexpected visit from “Rando Brando” himself. It’s equal parts hilarious, gross, and wildly relatable for anyone who knows that pest control isn’t just a job — it becomes part of how you see the world.

Jenny and Kandyce sit down with an industry professional to talk through the realities of insect identification—why it’s not always as straightforward as it seems, and how small details (or bad photos) can completely change the outcome. They also touch on the ongoing balance between research-driven methods and what actually works out in the field. Beyond the technical side, the conversation shifts into the day-to-day experiences of working in the industry, including navigating online spaces, dealing with conflicting opinions, and continuing to learn in a field that’s always evolving. If you’re interested in how pest control really works behind the scenes—not just the treatments, but the thinking and communication that go with it—this episode gives a solid look at all of it. Watch this episode here: https://youtu.be/9bzuQj9pHZEThis week’s episode gets into some of the real-life situations people run into with bed bugs—and yeah, some of them are pretty wild. Jenny and Kandyce go through a mix of listener-submitted stories and their own experiences, from small issues that got out of hand to full-on infestations in places you wouldn’t even think to check. Some are frustrating, some are surprising, and a few are just… unreal. They also talk through common treatment approaches used in the field—what tends to work, what people swear by, and where things can go wrong (especially when prep or follow-through isn’t there). It’s a mix of stories and practical insight, with a few moments that might make you a little paranoid about your own space by the end of it.
