Daine Patton, Founder & CEO of Bats to Rats Wildlife Control & Prevention, a Nebraska-based company known for honest, prevention-first bat and rodent exclusion services that protect both families and the environment joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Daine Patton discuss the following:
- From pest control technician to founder of Bats to Rats, what motivated you to build a prevention-first company, and what can other entrepreneurs learn about spotting opportunities to create a more ethical business model?
- You scaled from a one-man truck-and-ladder operation into an award-winning regional brand. What systems or mindset shifts were most important in that growth, and how can small business owners apply those lessons?
- Your company avoids poisons and focuses on exclusion work. How does educating customers, and leading with integrity, translate into long-term trust, and how can service providers in any field build that kind of credibility?
- You’ve spoken openly about your personal health journey, losing over 115 pounds while scaling your company. What parallels do you see between building discipline in life and building a resilient business?
- As you expand across the Midwest, how do you balance scaling a business with maintaining a family-first culture for your team? What advice would you share with leaders who want to grow without losing their values?
Tip: Don’t underestimate the power of prevention, whether it’s in your business, your health, or your home. Address the root cause, stay consistent, and build with integrity. That’s how you create results that last.
