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.

Registration Information

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

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 26th 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 26th 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
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

Innovative Pest Control Products: Year-Round Colony Control

Photo: Innovative Pest Control Products
Photo: Innovative Pest Control Products

Innovative Pest Control Products’ Green Way Liquid Ant Killing Bait paired with ANTOPIA 6 bait stations is designed to eliminate colonies and reduce callbacks when used together as a system for year-round colony control.

Green Way’s honeydew-based formula is designed to mimic ants’ preferred food to keep them feeding longer and maximize uptake of our active ingredient, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT). The 1 percent DOT formulation is mold-resistant and can be diluted 1:1 with food-grade attractants to match shifting colony preferences.

To support reliable liquid baiting in any season, ANTOPIA 6 refillable bait stations are engineered to keep bait accessible and protected, and to encourage ants to consistently feed. The ANTOPIA 6 incorporates structural guides to direct ants to the feeding chamber, increasing the speed of foragers locating the bait. Patented Feeding Float Technology (FFT) is designed to improve access to liquid bait and allow foragers to  return safely to the nest. This increases the spread of delayed-action toxicant throughout the colony and ensures it reaches the queen(s) for full colony elimination rather than short-term suppression.

Built for multi-season service, ANTOPIA 6 features heavy-duty, professional-grade construction and a spiral anchoring system for secure placement. The station’s integrated acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)  cover shields liquid, granular or gel baits from heat, ultraviolet light (UV) exposure, rain and contamination — extending bait life between servicing. View ports allow technicians to check bait levels quickly without opening or disturbing the station, supporting efficient service checks and consistent bait availability.

Additional features include:

Green Way Liquid Ant Killing Bait
• Honeydew-based liquid bait formulated to sustain feeding.
• Active ingredient: disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT).
• Delayed-action performance intended to support colony transfer (when used as directed) (per company).
• 1 percent DOT formula resists mold growth.
• Can be diluted 1:1 with food-grade attractants to match shifting preferences.
• Widely used active ingredient in professional baiting programs (per company).
• University-tested performance supporting colony elimination (when used as directed) (per company).

ANTOPIA 6 Refillable Bait Station
• Heavy-duty construction designed for years of service and long-term cost effectiveness.
• Feeding Float Technology (FFT) supports return-to-nest feeding behavior for colony distribution (per company).
• Spill-resistant reservoir holds up to 6 ounces of liquid, gel or granular bait.
• Integrated ABS cover helps protect bait from heat, UV exposure, rain and contamination.
• Secure ground-anchoring design for placement stability.
• Built-in structural guides intended to increase baiting effectiveness.
• View ports for fast bait-level checks without opening the station.

BASF: Spring Promotion

Red BASF logo


The BASF Spring Promotion starts on April 1, making it an ideal time to stock up on trusted termite control solutions while taking advantage of valuable savings. The entire BASF termite control portfolio is on sale, led by the proven Termidor brand family with headliner Termidor HE High‑Efficiency Termiticide, which is designed to support efficient applications while leveraging the brand’s genuine transfer effect.

When termites contact soil treated with a Termidor solution, they unknowingly acquire a lethal dose and spread it to other members of the colony through normal social behavior. The “less means more” approach is a defining characteristic of Termidor HE, which is designed to help reduce water usage per linear foot, minimize the number of drill holes needed for slab treatments, and decrease trenching during exterior applications.

If termite baiting is the preferred treatment, Trelona ATBS Annual Bait Stations and Advance Termite Bait Stations are also included in the Spring Promotion. Termite baiting plays an important role in comprehensive termite management, particularly for ongoing colony suppression and long‑term monitoring. In addition to these popular termite solutions, the Spring Promotion includes select BASF General Insecticide (GIC) products recognized for their performance and reliability. The promotion runs through April 30, 2026.

About BASF

BASF Corp., headquartered in Florham Park, N.J., is the North American affiliate of BASF SE, Ludwigshafen, Germany. BASF has approximately 16,000 employees in North America and had sales of $25.7 billion in 2022.

About J.F. Oakes Sales & Marketing

As a salesman of termite and rodent control products for a major chemical manufacturer for 26 years, Jim Oakes worked closely with both industry distributors and pest control companies all over the southeastern U.S. Recognizing a need for product lines specifically designed for the pest control industry, Oakes founded J.F.

Sheffield Masonry Drill Bits were designed with an emphasis on using quality European steel for durability and a full selection of shanks, diameters and lengths commonly used by pest control companies. Chemtrol, now known as Chemoak, was designed with consideration to chemical resistance, safety factors, working pressures, flexibility and ease of use.

Start-up journeys: Why free marketing is infectious

I recently rewatched the 2013 Brad Pitt horror movie World War Z, and I’m always amazed at how quickly the virus spreads from person to person but skips over people who are sick, diseased or dying. The virus seems to know that these victims can’t help it spread.

Slow-growing companies often have marketing plans in place that are a lot like the infirm. Your promotions are dead or without traction, so your message isn’t being spread by your “zombies.” To grow your company at a ravenous rate, you need a marketing plan that prioritizes movement and connection.

Key takeaways

  • Focus on relationships: For start-ups, personal connections and handshakes remain the most effective and cost-efficient ways to grow a customer base.
  • Utilize low-cost channels: Leverage local Chambers of Commerce, Facebook business groups and community trade shows to increase your “sales force” for free.
  • Avoid premature SEO spending: Companies with less than $1 million in revenue should avoid expensive ad campaigns and focus on local networking.
  • Monetize your expertise: Offering coaching or advice to “maybe” customers can build trust and eventually convert them into recurring clients.

Fostering local relationships

Melisa Arnold, ACE, owner of Horizon Pest Solutions in New Cambria, Kan., recently spoke with me about free or almost-free marketing ideas to help grow her two-person operation. With projected sales of $300,000 this year, Arnold is looking for more growth, and she’s finding it through the power of “infectious” networking.

In this era of search engine optimization (SEO) and door-knocking, many start-ups are forgetting the most important part of growing their business: relationships. Handing out business cards and shaking hands is still the most effective way to spread your message. It costs almost zero dollars and, in my experience, the relationships you build are much stronger than those built door-to-door.

Pete’s favorite free marketing tactics

Networking can consist of many categories, but here are some of my favorite ways to build a presence without a massive budget:

  • Professional referrals: Hand out cards to Realtors, home inspectors and real estate lawyers.
  • Community involvement: Partner with local chambers of commerce and join networking groups to passively increase your sales force.
  • Digital reciprocity: Share Facebook posts that promote other local businesses—which, in return, encourages them to promote your company.
  • Face-to-face events: Participate in home and garden shows, trade shows and vendor appreciation days.
  • Social proof: Publicize referrals from happy customers to build immediate trust.

The risk of expensive SEO

Small companies should stay away from expensive SEO marketing as if they were bloodsuckers from 2009’s Zombieland. There are many dollar-eating SEO companies and picking the wrong one can be extremely costly.

My rule of thumb is: if you have less than $1 million in revenue, don’t spend money on expensive ad campaigns. Instead, shake hands, kiss babies and like people’s posts on Facebook.

Illustration: Overearth/iStock / Getty Images Plus/Getty Images
Illustration: Overearth/iStock / Getty Images Plus/Getty Images

Making the strategy work

Arnold has grown her business through triannual services and termite treatments, but she has done an especially great job at growing commercial accounts via her past work history in the grain industry. By building strong relationships with local elevators, she is currently signing up four more accounts for a total of 26 locations.

She has also taken an unusual approach by reaching out to “maybe” customers—people who didn’t buy services after the initial phone call. She teaches them how to do smaller jobs and what products to use. So far, she has convinced nearly a dozen clients to pay for her expertise and coaching. She has even flipped a handful of them into recurring clients after they failed at eliminating the problem on their own.

Conclusion: Spreading the message

Like the movie 28 Days Later, the goal is to “infect” your local area with your company’s great products and services. You don’t need a massive ad spend to make an impact; you just need to be active in your community. As a cowbell-seeking Christopher Walken might say, “I have a fever! And the only prescription is more Horizon Pest Solutions!”

About Zoëcon Professional Products

Central Life Sciences’ Zoëcon Professional Products offer insect growth regulators, adulticides and other pest management solutions to control bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, flies, ants and other pests in both residential and commercial markets.

According to CLS’ online history, Zoëcon was founded by Dr. Carl Djerassi, where his team was able to commercially produce a group of molecules called insect growth regulators (IGRs) which revolutionized insect control by introducing a method that interferes with the development and reproduction of insects. Beginning with methoprene, and the later discovery of hydroprene and kinoprene, these compounds became the building blocks of the comprehensive Zoëconportfolio of insect control solutions.

About Central Life Sciences

Central Life Sciences products are a part of Central Garden & Pet Co. Central Life Sciences is dedicated to creating healthier environments and making life better for people, plants and companion animals around the world. As inventors of insect growth regulator technology more than 50 years ago, the founders of Central Life Sciences pioneered biorational pest control: using the insect’s chemistry as a means to reduce pest populations.

Professional Pest Management Alliance releases annual organizational report

IMAGE: Professional Pest Management Alliance 2025 Report
IMAGE: Professional Pest Management Alliance 2025 Report

The Professional Pest Management Alliance (the Alliance), which drives demand for professional services through innovative marketing programs, released its 2025 Annual Report, displaying one of the organization’s most successful years in its nearly three-decade history. From a bold brand evolution to record-shattering media results, 2025 was defined by innovation and measurable impact that delivered billions of impressions to consumers nationwide.

“From fresh new strategies to the consistent excellence of our core programs, these pages tell the story of what we set out to do and how it all came to life,” said Dr. Jim Fredericks, PMP contributor and executive director for the Alliance. “We packed a lot into twelve months, all of it driven by a shared commitment to putting the value of professional pest control front and center for every consumer we reach.”

New look, same mission

Among the year’s biggest milestones was the Alliance’s brand refresh, marking a strategic evolution that modernized the organization’s identity while reinforcing its core mission: to grow, promote, protect and defend the industry. The result of extensive board collaboration and member input, the rebrand positions the Alliance for even greater impact in the years ahead.

“This evolution was more than a fresh coat of paint; it’s a statement of where we’re heading: forward, together” said Bobby Jenkins, chairman of the Alliance, ABC Home & Commercial Services, Austin, Texas. “But one thing hasn’t changed. When we work as a united front to advocate and advance our industry, nothing is stopping us.”  

What made the difference in 2025?

These programs put the right message in front of the right people at the right time, building consumer trust and creating new demand for professional pest control across every channel.

  • Consumer media relations: The year-round media program positions the National Pest Management Association’s team of board-certified entomologists and medical advisors as the go-to experts on pest prevention and public health. This puts us in front of consumers through the outlets they already trust, from local TV news to national digital publications like USA Today, ABC News and The Weather Channel.
  • Seasonal forecasts: Vector Sectors was rebranded as the Public Health Pest Index, directly connecting pest activity to public health in a way that resonates with consumers and media alike. The Bug Barometer® went interactive on PestWorld.org, giving people a personalized, regional look at what’s coming.
  • “Bed Bugs Exposed”: With a significant number of Americans unable to identify a bed bug, this large-scale summer campaign met travelers exactly as peak season ramped up, educating them on the risks and the value of professional treatment.
  • Social media and influencers: Meeting consumers where they spend their time with scroll-stopping content designed to educate them on prevention, seasonal pest threats and the value of working with a pro. Strategic influencer partnerships with creators brought credible pest expertise to entirely new audiences, adding over 1.3 million views from people who may have never heard of or considered professional pest control before.
  • Public service announcements: The newest chapter in the Alliance’s award-winning PSA program, “Coffee Date” shines a light on the hidden link between household pests and childhood asthma — a connection most people don’t know exists.  
  • Bugs without borders survey: Conducted with the University of Florida, this research uncovered pest trends and consumer behaviors that give consumers and the whole industry smarter, more targeted intelligence to act on.

The Alliance’s moving into the future

Over the past two decades, the use of professional pest management among higher-income homeowners has more than doubled, adding roughly 10 million households to the market. Rather than shifting demand from one company to another, the Alliance creates new demand by educating people who may not have been thinking about professional pest control at all and turning awareness into action.

“The best is yet to come,” added Fredericks. “Beyond our tried-and-true programming, we’re adapting to modern approaches, and I can’t wait for what’s next.”

About the Professional Pest Management Alliance

The Professional Pest Management Alliance is the voice of the industry, driving demand for professional pest control through innovative marketing programs that educate consumers and earn their trust. Since 1997, the Alliance has grown awareness of the essential role pest management professionals play in protecting health, food and property, creating market conditions that help businesses of all sizes grow stronger, faster.

Franklin Pest Solutions sponsors interns for Purdue Bug Bowl

Franklin Pest Solutions recently announced it is sponsoring two interns at the 2026 Purdue University Bug Bowl taking place on April 18. The two student interns are 21-year old Aster Barajas, along with 21-year old Aiden Bemis, who is returning for a second year.

Barajas takes on first Bug Bowl

Barajas is from Hammond, Ind., where their love of bugs started early. Having grown up with computers, they started looking on the internet for information about bugs, where they realized that not only did so many people love bugs, but that they could pursue a career in entomology.

Aster Barajas

“A lot of things happened when I was young that were challenging, but insects have always been around,” Barajas said in a news release. “They brought me comfort in tumultuous times.”

Barajas is a senior majoring in entomology with a minor in natural resources and environmental sciences, making them a natural for the Bug Bowl internship prior to applying to graduate school for entomology or agroecology.

“My plan includes insects and a future decorated with things in the world that are often too small to notice,” they said. “My favorite bug right now is the Blue Orchard bee. It’s so cute and comes in such fun iridescent blue and olive colors. Bugs are really beautiful creatures if you take the time to look at them.”

Barajas’s interests include soil sciences, which they say will make them a better scientist and help in understanding the environment. “At Bug Bowl, I’m most excited about seeing the people and helping to educate everyone about the wonders of the world just under our feet.”

After Bug Bowl, Barajas will return to work at the insect biodiversity and diagnostics lab where they have been working.

Bemis returns to Bug Bowl for second year

Aiden Bemis

Bemis is from Middlebury, Ind., where he will be graduating this spring with a degree in accounting. Following graduation, he plans to enroll in the MS in accounting program at the Daniels School of Business at Purdue and will take the CPA exams the following year.

In the meantime, Bemis is looking forward to Bug Bowl and has helped spread the word about the upcoming event where he enjoys seeing how several departments come together to put on a big production.

“Working as a Bug Bowl intern has shown me that bugs are a great way to bring the community together,” he said. “I love how they spark curiosity in people of all ages. It makes science accessible and fun.” In sparse spare time, Bemis and his fiancée have been training for a half marathon. During long runs, he has also noticed new bugs out buzzing around.

“I will always have a soft spot for fireflies,” Bemis said. “They are such a nostalgic part of Indiana summers and a great example of how insects can create a sense of wonder.”

Inside Franklin Pest’s sponsorship

This is the fifth year Franklin has sponsored Bug Bowl interns.

“Being in pest control is all about balance and Bug Bowl is a great way to learn about that. Humans and nature will always have to be in harmony,” Janelle Iaccino, known as ‘The Bug Girl,’ said in a news release. “Finding the right balance so you’re not disturbing the ecosystem is critical and we can have a lot of fun seeing natural wonder along the way.”

Bug Bowl started as a cockroach race more than 30 years ago by a Purdue entomology professor. The event is part of the Purdue College of Agriculture Spring Fest each year. It offers an array of vibrant, interactive activities for the entire family, including petting bugs at a live bug zoo, visiting the Cockroach Colosseum and becoming familiar with favorite insects.  The Bug Bowl art show is always a favorite and is expected to generate more than 1,200 original drawings of bugs from kids from around the area.

About Franklin Pest Solutions, LLC

Since 1929, Franklin Pest Solutions and sister company Rose Pest Solutions have been trusted in the Midwest to keep homes and businesses free from insects, rodents and more.  Using cutting-edge technology, environmentally friendly methods and personalized unique solutions, Franklin and Rose are dedicated to creating and maintaining healthier living environments.  Owned by the Dold Family, Franklin Pest Solutions proudly serves communities in Indiana and Kentucky.

PelGar USA: Roban Foam Bundle Set

Beauty shot of Roban Foam Kit
IMAGE: PELGAR USA


The Roban Foam Bundle Set is an innovative solution designed to protect your residential and commercial accounts from rodents and other pests. The set features a can of Roban Foam and two PelGar Copper Mesh packs of 6 feet each, providing pest-proofing and rodent-blocking capabilities.

The foam fills and seals gaps, cracks and structural openings, while the copper mesh adds a tough, gnaw-resistant barrier that prevents rodents from chewing through treated areas. This integrated approach ensures both immediate sealing and extended durability, making it ideal for foundation gaps, pipe penetrations, utility lines and other high-risk entry points. Designed for pest management professionals, the kit enhances exclusion work by preventing foam damage and improving long-term performance.

Whether you’re dealing with insects, rats or mice, the Roban Foam Bundle Set offers a strong and durable barrier to keep unwanted pests out. Made for larger voids and openings, the foam is not super expanding; it is a neutral color and cures slowly for a dense consistency and strong adhesion. 

About PelGar

Based in the United Kingdom, PelGar provides products and expertise in more than 60 countries worldwide, including the United States. The company supports customers who are directly involved in controlling nuisance pests, national campaigns against the vectors of disease, and local and national Conservation in Partnership (CiP) projects.
