What multiple of revenue do pest control companies sell for?

Texas pest control companies typically sell for 0.9–2.1× annual revenue. The multiple depends on: service mix (termite commands the highest), recurring revenue rate (target 70%+), annual churn (below 15% is premium), revenue size ($1M+ is more liquid), and buyer type (PE-backed acquirers pay more than strategic buyers at the lower end).

Most pest control acquisitions take 3–6 months from initial conversation to close. Simple tuck-in deals with motivated sellers and pre-qualified buyers can close in 60–90 days. Larger deals or deals involving earnout negotiations typically take 4–8 months.

How it works

Multiples by size. Smaller operators ($1–3M revenue) typically clear at 2–3.5× EBITDA. Larger platforms ($10M+) reach 4–5.5×, driven by scale and route density.

Service mix matters. Termite and commercial-heavy books command premium multiples because of contract value and recurring revenue predictability.

Tenure premium. Operators with 15+ years in the same market demonstrate customer loyalty and brand recognition — two things acquirers pay for.
