As a result of continued consolidation and attrition, the United States structural pest control industry is now comprised of slightly more than 18,800 pest control firms.  In 2020, these firms generated an estimated $9.627 billion in total service revenue, a 2.9 percent increase from the $9.359 billion measured in 2019, according to the latest report A Strategic Analysis of the U.S. Structural Pest Control Industry from Specialty Consultants, LLC. “Achieving nearly 3 percent revenue growth when total U.S. GDP declined -3.5% in 2020 is remarkable and it demonstrates the resilience of the professional pest control industry and its importance as an essential service,” said Rich Kalik, Partner.
