Buy an Orkin Pest Control Franchise

Orkin is one of the most recognized names in North American pest control. Founded in 1901 and headquartered in Atlanta, it began franchising in 1994 and operates through a mix of company-owned branches and franchised territories across the United States and more than 30 countries. Orkin is a subsidiary of Rollins, Inc. (NYSE: ROL), a publicly traded pest-management group.

The brand provides residential, commercial, and industrial pest management, including general pest control, termite protection, bed bug, mosquito, and rodent treatment, plus home services such as wildlife management, attic insulation, and moisture control. Customers range from homeowners to hotels, healthcare facilities, and other commercial accounts, much of it billed through recurring service agreements.

Franchised territories are protected and run under Orkin’s national brand, its science-based treatment protocols, and a centralized call-center infrastructure, with purchasing handled through Rollins’ procurement department. Territories are typically awarded to operators who bring pest-control management experience.

Why buy an Orkin Pest Control Franchise?

Buying an Orkin franchise means operating under one of the most established and widely recognized brands in pest control, backed by more than 120 years of consumer familiarity and the scale of parent company Rollins. Pest control is an essential, largely recurring service that has proved resilient across economic cycles, and Orkin’s diversified mix of general pest, termite, wildlife, and home services gives a unit several revenue streams rather than one.

Franchisees benefit from protected territories, a national call center that captures and routes customer leads, ongoing technical support, existing supplier relationships, and purchasing power through Rollins’ procurement department that an independent operator could not match. The contract-based nature of pest control can produce a predictable, repeat-revenue base.

Orkin Pest Control – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners receive initial training to launch the business and ongoing training for staff, with access to Orkin's training manuals and programs. Operating units draw on Orkin's call-center services, sales, marketing and administrative materials, technical support, existing customer and supplier relationships, and purchasing power through Rollins' procurement department. Resale buyers should confirm with Orkin what initial and transfer training is provided to incoming owners and staff, and what call-center, technical-support and procurement access carries over with the territory.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Orkin typically looks for owners with at least three years of management experience, preferably in pest control or a related field. The model suits hands-on local operators who can recruit, train and manage licensed technicians, build residential and commercial accounts, and maintain service quality and regulatory compliance. Strong leadership, customer-relationship and local-sales skills matter as much as technical pest knowledge, since much of the role is managing people, schedules and recurring service accounts.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Orkin is one of the most recognized brands in North American pest control, with origins dating to 1901 and a national footprint of more than 400 US locations across more than 30 countries. It operates as a subsidiary of Rollins, Inc. (NYSE: ROL), a publicly traded industry leader, giving franchisees the credibility of a century-old brand and large-scale corporate backing. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, online reviews, and commercial-account relationships.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US pest control industry generated roughly $13.4 billion in service revenue in 2025, up about 6% from $12.654 billion in 2024 (NPMA), outpacing GDP growth. Demand is largely non-discretionary: homeowners and commercial accounts treat pest and termite control as essential, while housing turnover, warming climates, and strict standards in hospitality and healthcare support steady volume. The recurring, contract-based nature of the category makes an existing customer base central to a resale's value.
