Raising funds: pitch bridge for pest control companies

Issue

As the world becomes more urbanized, pest control has become a critical need. Over 80% of households report pest problems at least once a year, resulting in billions of dollars in damage and lost productivity. These pests range from rodents to insects and cause health issues, architectural damage and many other problems.

Consider the story of Jane, a busy working mother, who discovered a termite infestation in her home. Despite her pest control efforts, the situation escalated and she was forced to call for professional help. Unfortunately, the services available were either too expensive, took too long to respond, or used toxic chemicals that posed health risks to her family.

Currently, the pest control services available range from generic and traditional to highly specialized and expensive. There is no affordable and environmentally friendly solution available for residential homes that is efficient and safe.

The problem exists for several reasons. First, the traditional pest control industry has failed to evolve or incorporate green practices. Second, the lack of regulation in the industry has allowed the use of harmful chemicals. Third, current solutions are inadequate, costly and ineffective. Finally, the environmental impact of these traditional solutions is disastrous, leading to repercussions that last for years.

The need for affordable and environmentally friendly pest control services is paramount. This need is even more relevant in today’s world where environmental sustainability and human well-being are essential. A sustainable pest control model that is harmless to humans and nature is long overdue.
