The total U.S. William Blair/PCO M&A Specialists Pest Index increased 9 percent year-over-year in January 2025, decelerating from December’s 11 percent result. The January result is slightly below the long-term average pest index growth rate of 10 percent.
“Based on commentary from several regional operators, we believe weather may have negatively affected January performance in some markets,” said William Blair Equity Researcher Tim Mulrooney. “On a sequential basis, the index increased 4 percent from January, which is in line with normal seasonal trends.”
Dan Gordon, CPA, managing member of PCO Bookkeepers & M&A Specialists and Pest Management Professional’s financial columnist, added, “The January result reflects continued resiliency in our market. It will be interesting to see if economic news in subsequent months changes anything. In any case, we know the pest control industry is consistent over the long haul.”
The month’s results by segment include:
- Residential Pest Index increased 10 percent year-over-year.
- Commercial Pest Index increased 10 percent year-over-year.
- Termite Index increased 5 percent year-over year.
- Bed Bug Index increased 12 percent year-over-year.
