Stuart and Donna Aust When we started our pest control company, Bug Doctor, 27 years ago, it didn’t take long before we learned we were building a valuable asset. We were only in business a few years when prospective pest control companies began sending attractive letters of interest to purchase our company. But it wasn’t until a close friend and colleague sold his company that we began to entertain the idea for our business. The saying “It’s all about timing” would be an understatement.
