Hot Listing
Established Pest Control Co. | Recurring Revenue & Loyal Clientele
Business Description
Established, profitable pest-control company serving Colorado’s central Rocky Mountain resort corridor for 20 years delivers year-round pest control needs with seasonal insect surges that keep revenue highly recurring. A client mix of laid-back second-home owners and large ranch properties has proven exceptionally sticky, with many customers retained “for many years.”
The field team comprises two licensed technicians (contractors) running well-maintained spray rigs, while the owners handle quoting and oversight—allowing the business to be run on a semi-absentee basis. Currently the business stopped all paid advertising when technician capacity maxed out, demand now arrives almost exclusively through word-of-mouth referrals, presenting low-hanging growth by simply reinstating marketing and adding staff. Further upside includes upgraded routing software, expanded wildlife-exclusion services, and geographic expansion—all identified by the sellers but left untapped. The company is fully mobile—no real estate is owned or required—keeping overhead low and relocation options flexible. Assets conveyed include spray-rig equipment, spare parts, and customer records maintained in Excel. Owners will provide training to ensure a seamless hand-off. The reason for sale is retirement for the current owners.
A small portion of hte business's current activities include some tree trimming. This would not be part of the sale and retained by current ownership.

- Facilities & Assets
- The business is currently run from the owners primary residence.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The service region is dominated by second-homes and a growing short-term-rental inventory, creating steady year-round demand for pest services even when properties sit vacant. Yelp lists fewer than ten providers willing to cover the territory, and the nearest national brands (Orkin, Aptive, Obex) dispatch technicians from Grand Junction or the Front Range (over an hour away) so local operators enjoy faster response times and lower travel costs.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The addition of a field technician would allow the business reopen the paid advertising it shut off when labor capacity maxed out, immediately converting wait-list and referral demand into new recurring accounts. Outlined low-cost levers - renewed marketing, upgraded routing / CRM software, and expanding wildlife-exclusion or tree-spraying services would lift both revenue and efficiency. With major competitors based an hour away, extending coverage into neighboring mountain counties would further capitalize on the firm’s local-response advantage.
