Hiring is tough. Retaining great technicians? Even tougher. The pest control industry is facing one of its biggest challenges yet: keeping good employees from walking out the door.

In this episode, Allan is joined by Erik Osborne and Anthony Eshaghi from Journey Health to talk about a game-changing strategy that most PCOs overlook when it comes to employee retention. Spoiler: it’s not higher pay, flashy perks, or pizza Fridays. It’s healthcare.

Eric and Anthony break down why health benefits have become one of the biggest pain points for business owners, how skyrocketing insurance costs are eating into profits, and why offering the right kind of coverage can not only save you money but also keep your team loyal for years. They share real numbers, real options, and the little-known alternatives that are cutting expenses by 30–40% for pest control companies across the country.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:
• “Why do my techs keep leaving, even when I pay well?”
• “How can I compete with big companies when it comes to benefits?”
• “Is there a smarter way to provide healthcare without draining my margins?”

…then this episode is for you.

Tune in to learn how rethinking healthcare can give you a serious edge in today’s competitive hiring market—and why this might be the most important investment you make in your business this year.
