PCT/NPMA Annual Research Reports

Since 2015, PCT and the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) have partnered for annual research reports on business topics of great interest to pest control operators. Using third-party research Readex Research, PCT surveys our readers on business topics and supplements this research with interviews from leading industry professionals 
 
 

Benchmarking Your Business 2.0
For 10 years, PCT and NPMA have teamed up to survey PMPs about industry trends. This year, we revisit our first study on profit margins, expense ratios and more. How does your firm measure up?

 

 
 

What’s Hot, What’s Not
The past three years were a roller coaster for pest control companies. Major issues, like the pandemic, labor shortages and economic uncertainty forced many to change how they operated. But how exactly did companies adapt and which pre-2020 business strategies no longer seem to work today? PCT and NPMA surveyed the industry to find out.

Money talks, but it’s not the only thing to attract and retain employees, report PMPs in a new wage and benefits survey from PCT and NPMA. Learn how your compensation package stacks up and what peers offer to set them apart in a tight job market.
