Chicago's density and aging housing stock create persistent pest pressure, with German cockroaches, bed bugs, and mice among the highest-demand service categories. The city's massive restaurant industry provides a lucrative commercial pest management market — operators with restaurant and food service accounts on recurring contracts command significantly higher multiples from acquirers.

Why a Pest Control Specialist Matters
Pest control is one of the most actively acquired home services verticals — PE aggregators pay 5–7× EBITDA for recurring-heavy books. A broker with PE relationships can deliver a $300K+ premium over a BizBuySell listing.
Key Value Drivers
