Episode 150 — Reactions from Rentokil and Rollins Reporting

At PestWorld, both Uncle Paul and Fat Pat had firsthand experiences that reinforced the notion of a younger and more sophisticated pest control industry. With Rentokil facing expectations of slower growth during the integration process, it's clear that the industry is in a transitional phase.

This reaction could have significant implications for not only the North American market but also the global market.

The industry initially surged with high customer demand during the pandemic, driven by essential services and lockdowns. However, the looming question is what lies ahead for the demand in pest control services.

How will businesses adapt to these financial challenges while continuing to meet the demands of an evolving market?
