Colten Gonzales founded Firehouse Pest with no prior experience in the pest control industry. Originally pursuing a career as a firefighter, he and his brother in law decided to build a business from the ground up in 2017.

Starting with just one truck, he spent his days knocking on doors, selling services, and handling pest control jobs before and after his regular work hours. Through relentless effort and persistence, Colten scaled Firehouse Pest into a multi-seven-figure company.

His journey is a powerful example of entrepreneurship, grit, and long term commitment. In this episode, we discuss how he built the business, the lessons he learned along the way, and why he believes pest control is one of the best service businesses to start today.
