Presented, is the opportunity to acquire a very profitable, specialized heat-treatment, pest extermination business.
The thermal process of eliminating pests is a necessary method of extermination for the more hearty and resilient species, such as bed bugs and others. The process involves raising room temperatures above the survivable temperature for the subject species.
In addition to being the only way to effectively remove these pests from the home, the process of thermal extermination does not use the harmful chemicals that residents are typically concerned about.
The company focuses exclusively on thermal extermination of bed bugs, due to the never-ending demand for that specific service and lack of competition.
Financially, revenues remain on the upswing, with a 22% year-over-year increase over the prior year. This is correlated with their perfect reviews on Yelp and Google, and with the growing customer demand for thermal extermination methods.
The company has two full-time employees, and the business comes complete with all the necessary equipment and four service vehicles. New sales hire recently added to foster growth and expansion.
Buyer should have a California Pest Control License. Seller will consider approaches to temporarily mitigate this license requirement. Perfect opportunity for a larger pest control company to add thermal-based approach to existing services. Likewise, a great opportunity for an individual with a background in extermination to transition into their own business venture.
