Six Percent Growth Reported for the U.S. Structural Pest Control Market:PCT Top 100 companies generated $5.8 billion last year

摘要

The U.S. structural pest control industry generated an estimated $7,213 billion in total service revenue in 2013, a 5.9 percent increase from the $6,815 billion measured in 2012. (Firms in the PCT Top 100 generated a total of $5,778 billion.) The topfour U.S. service providers, Orkin, Terminix, Ecolab and Rentokil represented nearly 45 percent of the total industry revenue for the termite and general pest control market segments this past year.Rodent control service revenue was robust in 2013, according to Specialty Products Consultants (SPC), which publishes a report called "A Strategic Analysis of the U.S. Structural Pest Control Industry." In the Northeast United States, pest control companies reported that their highest percentage of revenue earned was from controlling, mice and rats. SPC says it believes "Superstorm Sandy" that hit the East Coast in late October of 2012 may have displaced rodents, resulting in an increased need for control efforts in the region.
