The structural pest management industry is comprised of two major branches: science and business. On the science side of our industry, there are about 250 pest species, give or take a few depending on where you live. The majority of the services offered across all those species occur within six pest groups: ants, cockroaches, rodents, flies, occasional invaders and termites. Among those groups, most full-service pest management companies address between 12 to 25 different pests, depending on the season, local pest populations (e.g., carpenter ants in the Northeast, scorpions in the Southwest) and periodic outbreaks (e.g., bed bugs).
