James worked in several pest-control service companies before starting Townhustle to teach people how to handle pests themselves — without signing overpriced exterminator contracts. He researches DIY treatments (he's become mildly obsessed with bed bug control and prevention), digs through hundreds of thousands of verified buyer reviews, and documents what actually works and what wastes money.
