A Market That's on the Rise

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment growth in the pest control industry is expected to be faster than the average – forecasted to rise by 15 percent between 2008 and 2018 (1).

• As environmental and health concerns increase, more people are expected to hire professionals, rather than attempt pest control work themselves. Growth in the population will also generate new need for pest control in residential, commercial, and government buildings.(2)
• Industry studies show that the increasingly common infestation of pests will continue to harm businesses and consumers, but industry operators will benefit. Additionally, the gradually recovering housing market will create a need for pretreatment insect control services and regular inspections.(3)

All this comes as no surprise to PestNow; it's something that we have known and recognized for years. Our innovative marketing tactics plus our unique focus on the needs of the real estate market – including property inspections and regularly scheduled service – are all part of why we've continued to thrive and grow even in the most challenging of times.

Now is a great time to start and grow a pest control business. And best of all, with PestNow, you can be part of an established concept with streamlined procedures, solid systems, and a unique niche market focus -- all backed by an experienced team of pest control franchise experts.
