Increasing Dependency on Pesticides to Foster the Pest Control Companies in 2023: What It Means for You

As the owner of Safe Guard Pest Control, I’ve seen many shifts in our industry over the years. But one trend that’s becoming increasingly evident is the growing reliance on pesticides—especially in response to rising pest populations, changing climates, and global trade dynamics. A recent blog published by Fortune Business Insights highlights the top 10 pest control companies globally, all of which are experiencing substantial growth thanks to an uptick in pesticide demand.

This is more than just a business trend—it's a reflection of how both residential and commercial clients are seeking faster, more efficient pest elimination services. But as someone who believes in not just getting rid of pests, but doing it safely and responsibly, I want to take a moment to explain what this means for you, and how Safe Guard Pest Control operates differently in this growing industry.

Why Pesticide Dependency Is Rising

Pesticides remain one of the most effective tools for immediate pest control, especially in urban settings where infestations can quickly spiral out of control. In 2023, there was a notable increase in global pesticide use across both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. From insects that damage crops to rodents invading homes and businesses, more people are turning to pest control companies for swift solutions.

Factors contributing to this trend:

• Climate change expanding the reach and survival of seasonal pests

• Urbanization creating densely populated environments ideal for pests

• Global trade introducing invasive pest species

• Customer demand for faster, longer-lasting results

While this growth is a sign of trust in our industry, it also requires a responsible approach—not all companies take the same level of care in how they apply pesticides.
