Squashing Bugs & Building Business with Stuart Babcock

Today, I’m sitting down with Stuart Babcock, owner of Complete Pest Management. But this conversation isn’t just about termites, rodents, or scorpions, it’s about leadership, transparency, and building a business with integrity.

Stuart’s journey is anything but ordinary: from firefighter to high school teacher, to police officer, and now leading one of the most respected pest control companies in Arizona. His philosophy? Treat people the way you’d want your family treated. That approach has shaped every role he’s taken on and is at the core of his business today.

In this episode, we cover:

Why small details make or break a business.

The power of servant leadership and leading from the field.

How Complete Pest Management became the go-to authority for termites, rodents, weeds, and more.

Stuart’s best advice for business owners: don’t sweat the small stuff—but never ignore the small details.

Why proactive prevention beats reactive fixes every time (in pest control and in business).

Whether you’re a homeowner, entrepreneur, or just someone who appreciates real conversations with real leaders, Stuart’s story will inspire you to build with purpose, integrity, and care.
