Modest Growth Expected

PMPs were optimistic about growth of bed bug services at their locations, though they did not expect big revenue gains in the year ahead.

At Green Pest Solutions, bed bug inquiries and annual revenue have been increasing. Dennis Guinan expected revenue to reach 3% by year’s end, nearer to the 4% of revenue the cryptic pests generated for the company before the pandemic.

“We’re starting to see that in our service market now, finally, after five years,” he said. “The uptick coincides with this time of the year and traveling and folks, unfortunately, bringing that problem back home.”

Gil Bloom, Standard Pest Management, also expected more calls and a modest bump in bed bug revenue in July-August and November-December when people return home from summer vacations and holiday travels.

According to the 2025 PCT State of the Bed Bug Control Market survey, PMPs forecasted bed bug revenue to hold steady (46%) or increase (41%) over the next 12 months. Most either anticipated the number of bed bug calls and jobs to increase (44%) or remain the same (41%).
