Bigfoot Pest Control was featured on CBS2 News and Fox9 this past week. The story highlighted our unique mascot and co-founder, Dan “the Bigfoot” Schofield, and the viral social media challenges that have been taking the internet by storm.



Dan has been posting a series of Fear Factor–style challenges where contestants eat bugs, starting with something relatively mild like a salted, dried cricket and working their way up to a full Madagascar hissing cockroach.

Yes, it’s a little crazy. And honestly, we never expected so many people to make it through the challenge.

What started as a fun idea quickly turned into a wave of viral moments. Social media users flocked to the page, helping Bigfoot Pest Control grow to over 150,000 followers on TikTok, along with tens of thousands more across other platforms like our Bigfoot Pest Control Instagram Account. Clips from the challenges have even circulated widely on X and Reddit.

The news crews came out to capture the story behind the madness, and we put together a few behind-the-scenes clips from the day they filmed.

We are incredibly grateful to Kiana and the entire news crew who helped tell the story and made the whole experience a lot of fun.

And of course, we had to capture the moment Bigfoot saw himself on TV.

Thanks to everyone who has followed along, shared the videos, and supported Bigfoot Pest Control. And to everyone who has stepped up to try the challenge… we salute you. 🫡
