Sell your pest control business for what it's really worth.
Recurring revenue, route density and termite renewals make pest control one of the most sought-after businesses in home services. We make sure the buyers competing for yours understand every dollar of that value.
The advisor who used to be the buyer.
Kemp Anderson started on a route truck at Sears Termite & Pest Control in 1994, built and sold his own company to Terminix, and led M&A for Rollins, Orkin and Scotts. When a strategic buyer models your business, Kemp knows exactly how they're doing it - and where they're hoping you won't push back.
A market shaped by consolidation.
Pest control has become one of the most active consolidation stories in home services. National strategics and private-equity-backed platforms are all buying - which is good for sellers who run a real process, and dangerous for those who don't.
National companies
Rollins/Orkin, Rentokil Terminix, Anticimex and Arrow Exterminators buy for route density and market share.
Investor-backed groups
Investor-backed groups pay up for recurring revenue and a strong team that will stay.
Regional buyers
Well-capitalized regional operators often pay a premium to enter or defend a local market.
How much is your pest control business worth?
Recurring revenue, customer retention, route density and your commercial-to-residential mix all move the number. We value your specific company against real transaction data - not a rule of thumb. Values will vary, and the honest answer starts with your company.

Every corner of pest control.
Owners we’ve represented.
Questions pest control owners ask.
Healthy pest control companies sell for a multiple of their earnings, and consolidation has pushed those multiples up. But there are a lot of variables - size, recurring revenue, growth, your market - and every deal is different. Values will vary, so call us for an honest read on your company, or start with what multiple you should expect.
Recurring contracts are the most valuable revenue you have - predictable, high-retention and easy for a buyer to underwrite. Read why recurring revenue drives your valuation.
Not unless you choose to tell them. Every buyer is approached under NDA with a blind profile. Confidentiality is structural to our process.
National companies like Rollins/Orkin and Rentokil Terminix, investor-backed groups, and well-funded regional operators. Which one pays the most depends on your market - read strategic buyer vs. private-equity buyer.
Earlier than you think. Two to three years before you want to exit gives us room to strengthen the value drivers buyers reward - but it's never too late for a confidential first call.
It was clear from that first phone call that KAC was the best choice for our family and our employees. We received multiple offers within the first few months.
