Jeff's Pest Control Biz Started With Kes 5,000
Jeff has built a name for himself as the go-to guy for pest control at houses, homes or premises.
His company, Jeff Fumigation Services uses eco-friendly chemicals that kill pests instantly. “Our chemicals have a knockdown impact, so the target pests die before we even leave your home,” he explains confidently.
So, what pushed him into the business?. “We feel happy when we assist our clients live in a pest-free environment. That’s my daily motivation,” he says. He adds that it’s not just about killing pest, it’s about giving people comfort in their own homes.
Starting the business was not complicated but needed skill. “You first need the know-how and the experience,” Jeff says. He had already worked as a pest control technician and understood the chemicals well. “I started small with only 5,000 shillings,” he recalls. That amount was enough to buy the basic supplies he needed to take on his first jobs.
His first customers were people who already knew him from his days as a technician. “They trusted me and I could offer services at a cheaper rate,” he says. Word of mouth did the rest, and his formula for keeping clients is simple: effective services and pocket-friendly charges. “Ukifanya kazi safi, people call you again.”
Jeff loves his hustle because it plays to his strengths. “I’m driven by experience, and the beauty is, you don’t do it all day long. Once the job is done, the client is sorted for months.”
But it’s not without challenges. “If you don’t use the right chemicals, you’ll get call backs. That’s why quality and skill matter,” he explains.
Joining MESH, Jeff says, has boosted his visibility. “Am getting likes and engagement so fast. I think it’s a good platform that can grow businesses quickly,” he notes.
His advice to other MESHERS is short and sharp: “Advertise your business in all platforms, and most importantly, when you get a client, offer effective services. That’s how you build trust and grow.”
