If you want a practical business with real earning potential, Stephen Dyball is proof that it’s possible, without corporate jargon or a university degree.
From hospitality and supermarkets to running a Jim’s Termite & Pest Control franchise with his family, Stephen built a system that works.
Today, he earns over $140,000 a year, mentors new franchisees, and leads by example.
Stephen Dyball: From Motel Management to Business Ownership
Stephen’s early career was spent managing motels and supermarkets.
It gave him people skills, patience, and a feel for operations—but not the freedom or financial upside he wanted.
He and his wife looked into several franchises but didn’t like how most charged a percentage of profits.
Jim’s stood out because of its flat monthly fee.
“Most of them charge you a percentage. With Jim’s, it’s a flat monthly rate. Whether you make $100K or $300K, you pay the same.”
That structure gave Stephen peace of mind and a level playing field.
Jim’s Termite & Pest Control: Trial First, Then Full Commitment
Stephen didn’t guess what the business would be like—he trialled a week with an existing operator.
“It was quite rewarding. You’re fixing a problem, and there’s a sense of gratification afterward.”
That short ride-along confirmed the job was hands-on, meaningful, and in demand.
Jim’s Termite & Pest Control Is a Family Business That Pays Well
Stephen now runs the franchise with his family.
His son-in-law joined and, in just 12 months, earned a $140K net profit.
“That’s not revenue—that’s his net profit. And I believe most of our franchisees are earning at least $100K a year.”
It’s not just a job—it’s a full-time income that supports multiple households.
Franchise Training at Jim’s Termite & Pest Control That Truly Prepares You
You don’t need pest control experience.
What you need is a willingness to learn and follow the process.
Jim’s provides:
- Theory-based training with industry partners like MPL
- A minimum of 20 days of on-the-job practice
- One-on-one mentoring with leaders like Stephen
“I’m like a mentor. I help them with their books, their invoicing. Sometimes I’m even a bit of mental health support—it’s part of the role.”
This support makes the transition easier, even for those with zero trade background.
What Stephen Dyball Looks For in a Franchisee
You don’t need to be a pest expert.
You just need:
- A strong work ethic
- Good communication
- Problem-solving skills

“Every day is different. You need to adapt and be ready to handle anything.”
It’s not glamorous work, but it’s stable, in demand, and respected.

Demand Is Everywhere with Jim’s Termite & Pest Control
Stephen says the need for pest control is massive, especially in underserved regional areas.
“We have a lot of work we can’t even service—places like Townsville, Cairns, Gladstone. If someone starts there, they’ll be busy fast.”
It’s not just about filling a gap—it’s about creating security and independence.
Stephen Dyball built his future around family, flexibility, and fairness.
He didn’t start with industry experience. He started with a trial, a clear plan, and a drive to take control.
“Get on the website. Do a ride-along. We’ll show you exactly what it’s like. That way you know—before you even start—if this is the right fit.”
If you want a business with real income potential—and support that doesn’t end at training—Stephen is ready to guide you.
