Should you start a pest control business?
If you look at the pest control business from an income point of view' it looks great. As a home based pest control business owner' you will be able to make much more than $13 an hour. This figure is the amount which is made by an orthodox pest control franchise employee. Although the income looks great' starting and running a pest control is no easy task. As such' as a business owner you will need to be highly committed and knowledgeable about the business. Moreover' you will face stiff competition' as well.

Starting any business is no walk in the park' and this is why you should weigh all your options to see if starting a pest control business is the right decision for you.

Benefits of a Pest Control Business

• First and foremost' your sales and profit potential by running a pest control business is significant. In fact' according to many leading small business websites' you will be able to earn around $75'000 a year.

• Since you work alone' it is highly likely that you will be able to make deals with some good suppliers at great prices. If you choose to go down the franchise path' this will not be possible.

• A majority of the work you will be required to do will be very minor. The infestations and return visits will be easy work most of the time.

• The pest control service is a business that thrives on referrals. If you provide your clients with professional work it is highly likely that they will call you back for more work and even recommend you to their acquaintances. Furthermore' with good service you should be able to enter into and form quarterly or half yearly pest control service agreements. This will ensure a steady income flow to your business.

Drawbacks of a Pest Control Business

• As a pest control service provider' your work environment is one of the worst in the job market. If you don’t have the stomach to deal with and eliminate bugs' this is not the job for you. In addition' you are also prone to bringing those pests home' as well.

• A variety of regulations are involved in this business because you deal with a lot of chemicals. For example' you will need to adhere to local and state regulations on storage and transport of these chemicals.

• In terms of the initial financial undertaking' this business requires a considerable amount. In addition to high startup costs you will also have to incur significant overheads' as well.

• Prior to providing your service' you need to be in possession of the right skills and knowledge regarding the pest control business. If you do not know what you are doing' you will definitely face liability issues for wrongful use of chemicals on client locations.

• Lastly' competition in this industry is quite tough due to the presence of a large number of professional franchises. To cater to this' you should be able to communicate to your clients the difference between your service and those of the franchises.
