Gains Sustained

For many pest management professionals (PMPs), mosquito control has become a lucrative revenue stream.

And for 58%, revenue from this service increased year over year, according to the 2026 PCT State of the Mosquito Control Market survey.

Even drought conditions didn’t dampen demand in south-central Michigan. “Our mosquito service grew 38% from last season. I’m not sure if more people are paying attention to mosquito diseases or customers are keeping up with the Joneses,” said Brent Young, owner, Brent’s Bugs in Stockbridge.

“It was our most requested service last season, and I already have 94% confirmed for next season,” he reported in January.

Bohannan Services, Florence, Ala., also saw mosquito revenue increase. “It was a good year for growth,” said COO Craig Keller. The company started offering the service about four years ago, initially just to existing customers. He’s now aggressively selling it to the greater marketplace.

For Olympic Pest & Termite Control, Hoschton, Ga., the 2025 mosquito season “wasn’t as good as it has been,” said owner Glenn Fordham. Heavy competition from national pest management and mosquito- only companies is one reason for slower growth.

For sure, more companies have added on the service line. The PCT survey found 90% of service locations offered mosquito control in 2026, up from 54% 10 years ago.

Another reason for slower growth, said Fordham, was the growing anti-mosquito spraying movement in his metro Atlanta market. “There’s a big push against mosquito services,” he said, adding that it’s not uncommon to see yard signs in certain neighborhoods with the message “Don’t spray for mosquitoes. It kills beneficials.”

On average, mosquito control services accounted for 17.8% of overall revenue at pest management locations, an increase from 11.5% 10 years ago.
