Are Pest Control Franchises In Michigan Profitable?

People Will Always Need Pest Control

If you're looking to get into a business that is always in demand, there is no better choice than the pest control industry. Pests have been around forever and they're going to be around forever. Pests are simply bugs and wildlife that get into places they shouldn't. The goal of pest control is not to exterminate these animal species, it is to manage where they're allowed to go. There will always be a need for this service.

Demand Is High

There is a growing awareness of the dangers pests can present. This awareness is fueling the growth of the pest control industry.

• Lyme disease continues to capture headlines and the cases of Lyme disease continue to grow at an alarming rate.

• A recent outbreak of Zika virus had everyone glued to their television sets and computer monitors.

• Stories of bed bugs being found in movie theaters, libraries, and other unexpected places continue to increase as these bugs seek to retake the United States.

• Fears of covid-19 have put microorganisms and viruses at the front of everyone's mind.
