The most vulnerable US cities to pest infestations

In order to identify the U.S. cities most vulnerable to pest infestations, Excel Pest Services assessed multiple factors that influence both pest activity and the likelihood that infestations will occur and persist once established.

Each city was evaluated across six core indicators:

Population density: In densely populated cities, pests are able to spread more quickly between properties due to shared walls, plumbing systems, waste infrastructure and closer living conditions.

Population-weighted search interest for “pest infestation”: This measures how often people search for pest infestation-related terms relative to city size, which allows fair comparison between larger and smaller cities.

Search trends over the past 12 months: These trends indicate whether concern about pest infestations is increasing or decreasing in each location over time.

Average annual precipitation: Higher rainfall creates moist environments that pests such as insects and rodents rely on for consistent water availability.

Average maximum temperature: Warmer climates allow pests to remain active for longer periods, which increases reproduction rates and reduces seasonal population decline.

Median year homes were built: Older housing stock is more likely to contain ageing materials and structural gaps, which makes it easier for pests to enter and establish themselves.

Who’s most likely to experience infestations?

IMAGE: EXCEL PEST SERVICES

1. Miami, Fla.
   • Known for its warm temperatures and high humidity throughout much of the year. With long, hot summers and frequent rainfall, conditions rarely slow pest activity, allowing insects and rodents to remain active well beyond the typical summer season. Miami ranks fifth nationally for average maximum temperature and eighth for annual precipitation, creating consistently warm and damp conditions that support year-round pest survival and reproduction. It also ranks 6th for population density, increasing the likelihood that infestations can spread between neighboring properties via shared infrastructure.
2. Newark, N.J.
   • Newark’s position is shaped primarily by structural factors rather than climate. The city ranks fourth nationally for housing age and fifth for population density, indicating that ageing buildings and shared infrastructure significantly increase the likelihood of pest entry and spread. 
3. Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
   • Fort Lauderdale ranks third overall, reinforcing the role of climate-driven pest risk in coastal Florida cities. The city ranks sixth for average maximum temperature and twelfth for annual precipitation, producing warm, moisture-rich conditions that support pest survival and reproduction throughout much of the year.
4. Providence, R.I.
   • Providence’s position in the top five illustrates how structural factors can elevate pest risk even in cooler climates. The city ranks tenth for housing age and eleventh for population density, reflecting closely packed and ageing buildings that are more vulnerable to pest entry and internal spread.
5. Jersey City, N.J.
   • Jersey City presents one of the clearest examples of density-driven pest risk. Ranking seconnd nationally for population density and fifth for housing age, the city’s tightly packed and older housing infrastructure creates ideal conditions for infestations to spread between properties. Even without extreme heat or rainfall, pests can move efficiently through shared walls, plumbing systems and waste infrastructure.

About Excel Pest Services

Australian PMPs join in on climbing for a cure fundraiser

An all-Australian team of pest control professionals aim to summit Nepal’s Mera Peak (21,247 feet) in October 2026 to raise funds for Parkinson’s disease research. Mera Peak is in the Himalayas and is Nepal’s highest trekking peak (and the world’s second highest after Aconcagua in Argentina).

The expedition is a “Peak for Parkinson’s” charity climb, supporting the Shake It Up Australia Foundation which funds Parkinson’s research. Shake It Up is an Australian affiliate of the Michael J. Fox foundation. The team invites pest managers worldwide to join this cause: professionals from other countries who have experience with the impact of Parkinson’s or wish to contribute can participate in the climb or donate. A QR code linking to our official donation page will be provided with the press kit for easy contributions. The team invites PMP’s internationally to join our team and benefit from the physical and mental health development that such a challenge inspires and provides.

“This mission combines our passion for pest management with a fight against Parkinson’s,” said team leader Peter McCarthy (Pest IT, Melbourne, Aus.), in a news release. “Pests challenge us daily; Parkinson’s challenges society. We’re showing that pest managers can take on any summit – even mountains – to support a cure.” Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disease affecting about 10 million people globally (with ~38 Australians diagnosed daily). Since 2011 Shake It Up Australia has co-funded 38 research projects (over A$10.8 million) aimed at slowing or curing the disease, ensuring 100% of all donations go to research.

“From the summit of Mera Peak, you are looking directly across to the highest point of our planet, the summit of Mount Everest – possibly one of the most inspiration icons, experiences and challenges on offer in 2026”. Says Peter  “We would love to invite International Pesties (Aussie slang for pest management professionals), to join use on this expedition”.

IMAGE: PEAK FOR PARKINSON’S

From the summit of Mera Peak, you can see five of the six highest mountains in the world and a for a fleeting moment, the group will be the highest group of PMP’s Globally. This is a call to action in self-development as well as bringing awareness to this hideous disease.

Expedition Details: The team (7 – 10 members) will trek and climb for 3 weeks in October 2026. They will carry the Australian and Shake It Up flags to Mera Peak’s summit. All climbers are donating personal time and funds to the project. Sponsorship and merchandise are available with 100% of proceeds going to the Shake It Up foundation in Australia.

Bell Labs: PROTECTA EVO Mouse Tunnel

Bell’s new PROTECTA EVO Mouse Tunnel is an economical way to provide tamper-resistant trap coverage at your rodent control accounts.  At 13.75 x 3.25 x 3 inches, it can fit into smaller spaces than Bell’s PROTECTA EVO Tunnel can.

The Mouse Tunnel can be used indoors or outdoors, and it can be secured to fences or pipes via cable ties both vertically and horizontally. Its low profile allows it to be used in high-traffic areas, such as beside or behind fridges or on garage shelving, without drawing attention to itself. 

Each Mouse Tunnel can hold two Mouse iQ or TRAPPER Mini-Rex snap traps, which can be secured in the tunnel’s base. The Mouse Tunnel opens and unlocks easily with Bell’s EVO key, and the tunnels are stackable for easy handling. 

About Bell Labs

Led today by Pest Management Professional Hall of Famer Steve Levy (Class of 2022), Bell Laboratories remains steadfast in its mission to deliver innovative, science-driven rodent control solutions while upholding the values that have shaped the company since its founding in 1975 by Pest Management Professional Hall of Famer Malcolm Stack (Class of 2004). Bell Sensing Technologies is a division of Bell Laboratories that develops and supports iQ products. This technology is built around a proprietary app and portal that work with iQ products by gathering and analyzing rodent activity at an account.

Truly Nolen promotes VP of brand and communications

Truly Nolen Pest Control announced the promotion of Michelle Nolen to vice president, brand and communications. She will remain based in Tucson, Ariz. at the company’s Leadership and Training Center.

Nolen, a longtime member of the company’s Executive Team, joined her father Truly David Nolen’s company in 2001 as director of special projects and will celebrate 25 years with the company this August. Most recently, she served as director of operational administrative support since June 2019.

Nolen directed the company’s Marketing and Public Relations departments from 2009 through 2019. She is the founder of our company’s “Truly Spooktacular” program, which dates back to 2014 and reached 58 hospitals in 13 states and 3 Canadian Provinces in 2025. 

She holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Smith College and a masters in business administration from the University of Arizona.

Some of Nolen’s new responsibilities include creating a cohesive, recognizable feel across all touchpoints of our 88-year-old company (i.e. customer messaging, recruiting, onboarding, training and internal communications), defining what makes our company unique, identifying meaningful community causes and strengthening how our team members represent Truly Nolen in the community.

In her spare time, Nolen is an accomplished runner who completed her third Boston Marathon last month. She is most proud of training and racing with her son as a “Duo,” pushing him in a specialized wheelchair – from 5K to full marathon race distances – as part of Team Hoyt.

“I am most excited about collaborating on projects with our talented team members throughout the company, helping communicate our identity and elevate our messaging to our customers and fellow teammates,” said Nolen in a news release. “My favorite thing about working for Truly Nolen is understanding how our DNA and Core Values fuel the growth of our people, support our customers and nurture our relationships and investments in all our communities.”

“Ultimately, this new position is about making our brand more deliberate, more consistent and more powerful—both to inspire internally and to drive growth externally”, added Matt Wild, CFO, Truly Nolen. “Michelle is the perfect person to take on this challenge, especially after leading significant improvement in our administrative processes through her leadership and engagement across the company in her most recent role. We look forward to her continued success.”

Avian Enterprises: Avian Control Bird Repellent

In response to the outbreak of H5 Bird Flu,  Avian Enterprises has developed a treatment program to protect against local outbreaks at food processing facilities, food service establishments, agricultural sites and public and private buildings. Avian Control Bird Repellent, when applied as either a spray of fog, has shown great effectiveness at significantly reducing bird presence and thus reducing the spread of H5 Bird Flu. Avian Control can be used in both indoor and outdoor settings, making it an ideal tool for pest management professionals (PMPs) to address this new menace. 

Avian Control Bird Repellent is registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a biopesticide that uses methyl anthranilate (MA) as it active ingredient. While MA has been shown effective at repelling birds, it has an “Exemption from Tolerance” from the EPA that makes it ideal for use near people, pets and livestock. MA is also used in the flavor and fragrance industries.

About Avian Enterprises

Per excerpts from the company’s “Our Story” page:

In 2008, a Chicago area waste transfer station with a terrible bird problem called us at our affiliate company, Stone Soap Co., for help. The situation was so bad that employees had to wear raincoats and rain hats to protect themselves from bird droppings.

After many months of research and testing, we developed a revolutionary liquid bird repellent formula that, when sprayed or fogged, solved the bird problem. The birds were successfully driven away from the waste transfer station with no harm to the birds, the environment or the station personnel. We began to explore the potential for a repellent that would successfully repel birds without causing them harm. The formula was tested and refined and in 2009 we submitted Avian Control to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) for registration. We received our registration in mid-2010.

Avian Enterprises, LLC (a Florida Company) owns the EPA registration and patent rights, as well as the marketing rights to the product Avian Control. The product continues to be manufactured under contract by Stone Soap Company in Sylvan Lake, Mich., and all orders are shipped from its Michigan facility.

8 reasons to get a valuation before selling your company

Selling your pest control business is one of the most significant financial and personal decisions you will ever make. Whether you have a specific sale price in mind or are just beginning to wonder what your life’s work is realistically worth, the first step should always be a formal valuation. This process moves you from a position of “hoping” for a good outcome to executing a strategy that secures one.

Key takeaways

• Align expectations early: A valuation removes assumptions and ensures all parties start from a clear, objective baseline of value.
• View your business like a buyer: Gain insight into how sophisticated buyers evaluate metrics like EBITDA, recurring revenue, and route density.
• Maximize sale price: Use the valuation to identify and fix operational weaknesses—such as low customer retention or poor route efficiency—before going to market.

---

Aligning the team and setting expectations

A valuation ensures everyone involved in the sale is starting from the same place. By removing assumptions and setting clear expectations from the beginning, the entire process runs more efficiently.

Gaining a clear understanding of value

You are getting more than just a number. A valuation helps you understand what your business is worth and why. This level of clarity is critical when the time comes to evaluate offers and make final decisions.

Seeing your company through the buyer’s lens

Today’s buyers are sophisticated and know exactly what a “best-in-class” company looks like. They focus on recurring revenue, strong EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), low churn, and route density. They also look for tenured employees, customer retention, and a solid leadership team. A valuation helps you see your business through this same analytical lens.

Improving performance before going to market

A valuation often uncovers hidden opportunities to increase your company’s value. Owners can make meaningful adjustments before the sale, such as strengthening customer retention, reducing expenses, improving pricing, or building more depth in leadership. These changes have a direct impact on the final purchase price.

Creating an objective baseline for decisions

Selling a business is deeply personal, representing years of hard work and sacrifice. Because of this, emotions can easily cloud the process. An independent valuation creates objectivity, keeping your decisions grounded in data rather than sentiment.

Strengthening your negotiating position

When you receive letters of intent (LOIs), you shouldn’t evaluate them in a vacuum. A valuation allows you to compare offers against the market and precedent transactions. This gives you necessary confidence and leverage at the negotiation table.

PHOTO: UCHAR / E+ / GETTY IMAGES

Building a stronger narrative for buyers

From an advisor’s perspective, a valuation allows for a much stronger story. It enables you to communicate your company’s strengths clearly, understand trends, and anticipate buyer concerns before they arise. This builds credibility and moves the due diligence process along more efficiently.

Controlling timing to maximize value

Timing matters in M&A. If a valuation reveals areas that could negatively affect your value, you have the opportunity to address them before officially going to market. Proper preparation can have a meaningful impact on your final financial outcome.

Conclusion

If you are seriously contemplating the sale of your company, do not skip the valuation process. It provides the essential roadmap to navigate the complexities of M&A, ensuring that you transition out of your business with the maximum value you’ve earned through years of dedication.
