The Butt Crack Bug Boy
Your Tech’s Ass Crack Is Costing You Customers
And This Is the Only Book Honest Enough to Say What Your ThinkingÂ
You’re not losing customers because of pricing. You’re losing them because your technician smelled like weed, looked like he slept in his uniform, missed the appointment, and left a half-empty container of pesticide rolling around the customer’s driveway.
If you’ve ever walked out to a work truck that looked like a raccoon’s drug den, or heard the phrase “I didn’t have time” from a guy who had three hours to nap at the park, this book was written for you.
This Is Not a Book About Bugs. It’s About the Tech Destroying Your Business One Lazy Service Call at a Time.
The Butt Crack Bug Boy: How to Stop Your Technicians from Sabotaging Your Business pulls back the curtain on what’s really going wrong in your pest control company — and what to do about it.
Written by pest control veteran Gannon Mahaffay, this isn’t corporate fluff or generic business advice. It’s a real-world field manual for owners who are tired of:
- Techs who skip PPE and soak baseboards like it’s 1999
- Trucks that double as trash cans and chemical leak zones
- Moonlighting, stealing, lying, and side hustles from hell
- Office staff at their breaking point because no one follows systems
- Replacing one “problem tech” with another carbon copy
If that sounds familiar… buckle up.Â

“Finally — someone said what we’ve all been thinking.”
“I’ve run a pest control business for over 15 years, and this book is like a slap of truth wrapped in sarcasm and dipped in actual solutions. I couldn’t stop nodding (and laughing). Every chapter called out problems I’ve dealt with — from lazy techs and trashed trucks to missed sales and customer complaints. The difference is, this book doesn’t just rant — it gives you the roadmap to fix it. If you own a pest control company and you’re tired of tolerating mediocrity, this book is your new bible. Hands down the best investment I’ve made in a while.”
