About This Video
The Local Guys – Pest Control | A Day in The Life is the brand's long-form partner-spotlight, following franchisee Sean across a real working day. Sean is the same partner profiled in the Interview asset, and the day-in-the-life format gives prospects the granular detail behind the higher-level interview narrative — what the morning actually looks like, how the CRM is used, what equipment goes into the van, how the day's jobs are mapped, and what time the partner is home for the kids. Sean's morning starts at the school gate. He doesn't take any jobs until after he's dropped the boys at school — the trade-off he optimised for when leaving employee life. From there it's CRM-up on the desktop, scanning the day's schedule, identifying job types (commercial treatment, termite inspection, spider sprays), packing the appropriate equipment for the day, mapping the route, and heading out. Yesterday he blocked two hours mid-day to attend his son's high school presentation — the kind of calendar flexibility that defines the brand's recruitment pitch and one of the strongest emotional through-lines in the asset. His wife appears on camera describing what's changed: where Sean previously couldn't get to sports days or Book Week without negotiating time off, he now books them straight into the calendar. On the financial side, Sean is earning a higher income working fewer hours, with three kids to support and no employer-side stress 'on the back of his mind.' The pest control industry is structurally counter-cyclical — homes always need protection, profit margins are high, costs are low, and the customer base refers consistently when service standards land. Sean closes the asset by inviting prospective operators to an experience day with the brand: no strings attached, come see the jobs, see if it fits, and the brand goes from there. For prospective Local Guys partners evaluating the Pest Control opportunity, this day-in-the-life asset pairs with the Interview to give the full picture — the why behind the brand choice, plus the granular day-to-day reality of operating one of the network's territories.
