What you need to know

The pest control market has slowed. While there are heightened concerns about insect-borne diseases, the market is maturing. Consumers are trading down to private label products, while more depend on professional services, which have moderated growth of the consumer product side of the market.

The long-term prospect for the market, however, is positive. Warming weather is increasing the territory of termites and roaches, while insect-borne diseases are impacting more regions of the country.
