The U.S. structural pest control industry continues to thrive, with total service revenue reaching $12.654 billion in 2024—marking a 7.9% increase from the $11.723 billion recorded in 2023. This growth is highlighted in the 25th edition of *A Strategic Analysis of the U.S. Structural Pest Control Industry*, published by Specialty Consultants.

### **Industry Resilience Despite Economic Challenges**

Even with consumer confidence dipping and inflation running hotter than expected, the pest control industry remains strong. “While consumer confidence is sagging and inflation is a bit hotter than many anticipated, we remain bullish on the resilience of the pest control industry,” said Rich Kalik, partner at Specialty Products. Looking ahead to 2025, the industry is expected to grow by another 6%.

More than **17,000 pest control firms** were in operation this past year, with two-thirds operating from a single location.

### **Cockroach, Carpenter Ant, and Bird Control Drive Revenue Growth**

Once again, controlling cockroaches generated the highest service revenue, narrowly surpassing nuisance ant control. However, the biggest revenue spike came from **carpenter ant control, which surged by 13.8%** over the past year. Bed bug control revenue also climbed **5.9%**, following a strong **10.6% increase** the year before.

Another major growth area was [**bird control**](http://avitrol.com), which saw a dramatic 3.9% rise as businesses and municipalities sought effective solutions to manage nuisance bird populations. Increased urban development and stricter regulations on humane bird management contributed to higher demand for bird control services across commercial and industrial sectors.

### **Residential and Commercial Segments Expand**

Pest control services reached over **13.25 million residential customers** in 2024. Recurring revenue remained dominant, accounting for **85.2%** of residential pest control revenue—though slightly down from **85.9%** in 2023.

The commercial pest control market also saw strong growth, with **service revenue increasing by 9.0%** in 2024.

### **Record-Breaking Product Expenditures**

On the supply side, spending on insecticides, rodenticides, and termite control products **exceeded $1 billion for the first time**—an **8.9% increase** over the previous year. This equates to **8.2% of the industry’s total materials and supplies (M&S) spending**.

### **Insights from Industry Leaders**

The 2024 edition of *A Strategic Analysis of the U.S. Structural Pest Control Industry* is based on surveys with **800 pest control company owners and managers**. Nearly half of respondents are **NPMA members**, and nearly two-thirds belong to **state or local associations**.
