How Avitrol Can Help Pest Management Professionals Grow Their Business

For pest management professionals (PMPs), expanding service offerings is key to growing revenue, increasing customer retention, and standing out in a competitive market. One of the most effective and profitable services to add is bird control, and Avitrol provides an ideal solution to help PMPs capture this lucrative market.

Why Bird Control?

Many businesses struggle with pest bird infestations, but unlike rodents or insects, birds often get overlooked. Property owners may not even realize there are solutions available until their problem becomes severe. Offering bird control services not only helps businesses but also allows PMPs to tap into high-ticket contracts—sometimes ranging from $40,000 to $50,000 per job​.

How Avitrol Gives You a Competitive Edge

Avitrol is a flock behavior modification agent that safely and effectively drives birds away from problem areas without relying on exclusion methods like netting or spikes. Here’s how incorporating Avitrol into your services can help scale your business:

1. Generate More Leads from Existing Jobs

When you perform an Avitrol treatment at a location, the displaced birds will likely relocate nearby, creating potential service opportunities. This makes nearby marketing crucial:

• Drop off targeted flyers at surrounding businesses, highlighting how you can solve their bird problems.
• Engage property managers and facility directors, as they often oversee multiple locations.
• Leverage word-of-mouth referrals—successful bird control leads to repeat business and recommendations.

2. Increase Revenue with a Subscription-Based Model

PMPs often struggle with one-time services that don’t provide recurring income. Avitrol supports ongoing maintenance contracts, ensuring steady revenue:

• Offer 12-month bird control programs, with an initial cleanout fee and a monthly monitoring plan.
• Charge a flat rate for site visits (e.g., one visit per month at $150–$165) to replenish bait trays and monitor activity​.
• Include pre-baiting costs and tray replacements in your pricing to cover long-term service needs.

3. Reduce Labor Costs & Increase Profit Margins

Compared to exclusion methods like netting and spikes, Avitrol is far less labor-intensive:

• No need for extensive construction work—netting and spikes require costly installation and maintenance.
• Faster application—a trained technician can conduct an Avitrol treatment efficiently, minimizing time on-site.
• Scalable services—because it’s easy to deploy, you can take on multiple bird control jobs simultaneously.

4. Differentiate Your Business in the Market

Most PMPs offer standard pest control services for rodents and insects. Bird control is less common but highly in demand, allowing you to:

• Stand out from competitors by offering a specialized solution.
• Target niche industries like airports, shopping centers, hospitals, and warehouses, where bird control is essential.
• Use LinkedIn and SEO strategies to capture business from facility managers searching for "bird control" in their city​.
