Why Pest Control Companies Are in Demand
Pest control companies, especially those with recurring revenue and a strong local brand, are highly attractive to both individual buyers and national acquirers. However not every buyer understands what makes a pest control business valuable, and not every broker knows how to position yours correctly.
Our clients typically:
Operate owner-managed or family-owned pest control companies
Generate $1M–$30M+ in annual revenue
Offer residential and/or commercial recurring services
Have licensed techs, consistent client bases, and positive online reviews
Want a structured, low-stress transition out of the business

What’s Your Pest Control Business Worth?
Valuation isn’t just about how much revenue you bring in — it’s about how consistent your contracts are, how transferable your team is, and how smoothly the business can run without you.
Here’s what we’re seeing in Q1 2025:
| Business Type | Valuation Range | Key Drivers |
|---|---|---|
| Residential-focused | 2.5x–3.5x SDE | Recurring monthly contracts, route efficiency |
| Mixed residential & commercial | 3.5x–4.5x EBITDA | Commercial contracts, multi-property accounts |
| Termite-heavy or seasonal-only | 1.5x–2.5x SDE | Less predictable cash flow, lower retention |
Premium valuations go to companies with recurring billing, well-trained field staff, and strong CRM/customer retention systems.
