Target Specialty Products: BASF Termite Series

IMAGE: TARGET SPECIALTY PRODUCTS

Target Specialty Products, in collaboration with BASF, announces its 2026 Termite Series, an April webinar program free to Target Specialty customers. It’s designed to help pest management professionals (PMPs) expand their termite services, strengthen field expertise and generate recurring revenue.

This expert-led series delivers practical, real-world training that goes beyond the basics; covering everything from termite biology and building construction, to advanced and uncommon field scenarios. Attendees will learn how biology directly impacts treatment decisions, including when to utilize liquid applications, termite baiting systems, or a combination of both.

Led by BASF industry experts Sylvia Kenmuir, BCE; Dr. Freder Medina, BCE; Dr. Bob Davis, BCE; and Desiree Straubinger, BCE, the series is designed for both seasoned professionals and those new to termite services. Participants will gain actionable insights to improve performance, expand service offerings, and build a more profitable termite business.

One key focus of the program is to help PMPs expand their termite toolbox and understand how baiting programs can serve as an entry point into termite work, or a way to scale existing services into consistent, recurring revenue streams.

Target Specialty Products customers can attend the full program at no cost; contact your sales representative for the access code. Credits are available in approved states. Follow the links below for details.

PMPs are encouraged to register early and select their preferred track. Space may be limited:

Envu’s Horizon Spring Pest Advantage promotion is built to help pest management professionals (PMPs) earn more during peak pest season. From April 1, 2026, through May 31, 2026, PMPs can stack seasonal rewards on top of year-round rewards when purchasing select in-season products through the Envu Horizon platform.

“The Horizon Advantage Pest promotion is designed to help PMPs maximize value during one of the busiest times of year,” says Gokhan Vergon, head of pest management and public health at Envu. “By earning on eligible products used for mosquito, cockroach and general pest control, professionals can stack rewards this spring while supporting effective service programs for their customers.”

As spring pest pressure intensifies, the demand for reliable, long-lasting control increases across residential and commercial accounts. The Horizon Spring Pest Advantage promotion helps PMPs maximize value on qualifying in-season products while supporting an integrated pest management (IPM) approach and delivering consistent results throughout the season. Featured products include:

• Temprid FX insecticide: Offers a dual mode of action to control pyrethroid-resistant bed bugs for up to six months.
• Suspend PolyZone® insecticide: A powerful perimeter solution for general insect control that keeps working regardless of weather conditions.

Through the Horizon Spring Pest Advantage promotion, PMPs can strengthen their service through a variety of products across different modes of action and be prepared to tackle any challenge with options such as add-on mosquito management and a robust cockroach control portfolio, all while stacking rewards and maximizing value even further.

Built for flexibility during peak season, the Horizon Spring Pest Advantage promotion requires no minimum purchase (some restrictions may apply). Qualifying orders must be made through an authorized distributor. Promotional rewards from this limited-time offer will be issued 75 to 90 days after the promotion ends.

US Structural Pest Control market grew 6% last year

The United States structural pest control industry generated total service revenue of $13.416 billion, a $762 million increase from the $12.654 billion measured in 2024, according to the 26^th edition of A Strategic Analysis of the U.S. Structural Pest Control Industry from Specialty Consultants, LLC.  

“The growth in the professional pest control industry was more than 2.7 times the 2025 U.S. Real GDP,” said Rich Kalik, partner, in a news release. 

Industry overview

There were 16,565 pest control firms operating in the U.S. this past year, 81.4% of which operated from one or two locations.  In total, an estimated 109,384 service technicians were employed by the industry in 2025.    Nationwide, two-thirds (66.8%) of the respondents expected their residential service revenue to increase in 2026.  “It should be noted that the survey was completed before the war in Iran was initiated and gas prices increased by a $1.00 per gallon,” said Kalik.

“Respondents said finding or keeping good employees was the greatest challenge to their business and 36.8% indicated that their company’s growth was limited by their ability to have a sufficient number of service technicians on staff,” said Kalik.

Residential market and recurring revenue

Nearly 13.29 million residential customers received a professional pest control service this past year. Recurring revenue accounted for 85.4 percent of the residential pest control service revenue generated, up slightly from the 85.2 percent measured in 2024.  The commercial segment continued to expand with a nearly 7.0 percent increase in service revenue generated this past year.

Who is responsible for callbacks?

Pest control operators were asked to select the top three pests most responsible for their callbacks.  Among all responses, more than half (51.6%) named ants, followed by cockroaches (42.6%).  “More than two-fifths of respondents named ants and bed bugs as the pests needing a better solution to control,” said Kalik. The 2025 season market report is the 26^th edition of A Strategic Analysis of the U.S. Structural Pest Control Industry.  A total of 800 owners or managers of pest control companies were surveyed for this study.  More than half of the respondents to this year’s survey were members of the NPMA and nearly 62% were members of their state or local association.  The syndicated market report is available for purchase only by subscription, sold in its entirety.

All the tools you need for National Pest Management Month

LOGO: NPMA

Pest control professionals are on the front lines every day protecting homes, businesses and communities from the serious health and structural threats that pests pose. With April marking National Pest Management Month, and peak pest season approaching, it’s the right moment for pest control companies to lead the conversation in their local markets and help the public fully understand the value of professional pest management.

“In a survey conducted online by The Harris Poll on behalf of the National Pest Management Association, 52% of U.S. homeowners reported using a licensed pest control professional in the past year, and that tells us the industry is doing something right,” said Jim Fredericks, executive director for the Alliance, in a news release. “There are still millions of homeowners who aren’t using professional pest control services. National Pest Management Month is our chance to reach them, so we’re asking every company in this industry, no matter the size, to use April to work together and make that happen.”

Tools to celebrate and inform

To make participation as easy and unified as possible, the Alliance has developed a ready‑to‑use toolkit of marketing and outreach materials exclusively for Mainframe subscribers. The toolkit provides everything companies need to run a polished, on‑message campaign, including a customizable press release, suggested social media content and graphics, official logos, and additional materials to help recognize the technicians and staff who safeguard the public from pests.

The National Pest Management Association also released resources, sponsored by Syngenta, available on its website. Resources follow the theme ‘Pest Management Protects’ and include customizable e-cards for colleagues and staff, as well as ready-to-use graphics and copy for social media platforms.

About the Professional Pest Management Alliance

The Alliance was founded in 1997 to grow, promote and protect the pest management industry. For more than 25 years, the Alliance has served as the voice of the industry and continues to proactively provide the public with information and education on the value of professional pest management through its media relations, public service announcement, advertising and online communications programs it conducts on behalf of the National Pest Management Association
