Termite Control: Mission Critical for Our Industry

Once again, BASF proudly sponsors this year’s PCT State of the Termite Control Market report. Our hope is that the research and data on the following pages deliver insights that can help shape how you and your company make decisions regarding the termite market. I believe the industry eagerly awaits this data each year as the termite season kicks off (I know I do!).

This report provides information about how companies are operating their termite services, including everything from pricing and staffing to treatment methods and business forecasting. If you’re already offering termite control services, I hope these insights offer you some tips and tricks about how your peers are operating in this market segment. And if you are looking to start offering termite control, this is the report for you to gain valuable market knowledge.

I think you’ll find the data here fascinating. One key takeaway is that 52 percent of pest management professionals report that termite control work is increasing, to the point that revenues somewhat or significantly increased during the last three years.

You won’t be surprised to hear that PMPs reported termite swarms last year as “average,” and half of those participating in the report said that weather was the reason for the average swarm season. Despite that, 43 percent said weather did not affect termite services from the Carolinas to California. In addition, the report shows that treatment prices are going up and the industry outlook is hopeful!

BASF offers industry-leading termite control solutions that can help you grow your business. This year we are celebrating a milestone in our product portfolio — the 25th anniversary of Termidor^®termiticide/insecticide.

Each generation one product comes along that changes the pest control market forever. Termidor did just that. It not only transformed the termite market for both professionals and customers, but it remains as the tried, true and tested termite solution. This is a product that has become widely adopted as PMPs’ primary termite management product for one reason — it works!

Termidor is backed by BASF’s tremendous team, which is dedicated to making sure PMPs have all of the resources necessary to educate customers and control termites. From training to product availability to on-demand representatives for any need, our company’s commitment to Termidor continues to strengthen each day.

Such market dedication is how a product becomes a mainstay in the industry and grows year after year. Pest professionals can depend on Termidor^® and BASF to help grow their businesses with the best control on the market.

I personally want to thank each of you for helping represent the industry I love so much. And of course, it’s your efforts every day that help the industry continue to grow.
