SBA & Pari Passu Pre-Qualified | DTC Pest Control Brand
Business Description
This 6-year-old SBA- and pari passu-prequalified Shopify store sells non-toxic pest control products, led by a proprietary mosquito trap and a mice eliminator pouch line. Its target buyer is the homeowner who wants pests gone without dangerous chemicals in the house. Over the TTM, revenue grew 45% year over year to $10.7 million, while seller's discretionary earnings grew 55% to $2.4 million. That growth in 2025 and 2026 followed a temporary pause in the flagship product line in 2024 while the business resolved a state registration matter, and the recovery since has been sharp and sustained.
That regulatory work became a real moat. Every product is registered under the EPA's FIFRA Section 25(b) exemption across more than 45 states, a lengthy process that keeps most competitors out of the category entirely, and Amazon enforces its own compliance standards just as strictly.
Several growth levers are already scoped out, not just theorized. Pricing has never moved since launch, despite sitting well below competitors. An affiliate and creator program remains almost entirely unbuilt, with room to scale for well under $1,000 per month. A fully sourced, all-season spray with subscription potential sits ready to launch for the slower fall-to-winter season. Brick-and-mortar, QVC and HSN, YouTube, and TikTok remain largely untapped beyond the business's single paid social channel.
Day-to-day operations run independently of ownership. A small, established team spanning marketing, operations, and customer service produces roughly 20 new ad concepts each week; documentation and standard procedures are in place across the business; and the owner spends only a few hours weekly on oversight. Most team members have stayed for years and will continue under new ownership. The current owner is selling due to health issues, is committed to a thorough transition, and has agreed to a non-compete. The ideal buyer understands paid social advertising or has someone on their team who does.
Key Benefits:
Conversion Rate Beats Industry Average: The site has converted at 4.4% this year, above the industry average, meaning every dollar spent on ads goes further and turns into more paying customers than the typical DTC competitor ever sees.
Full Regulatory Compliance Moat: Every product is registered under the EPA's FIFRA Section 25(b) exemption across more than 45 states, a costly, multi-year process most competitors never fully complete, and Amazon enforces it strictly, too.
Loyal Team with Years of Tenure: Most team members have stayed with the business for years, including through the 2024 downturn, when the company kept paying them in full despite reduced profitability. The owner spends ~3 hours per week on the business.
Capital-Efficient Inventory Model: The business carries roughly $350,000 in inventory against over $10 million in trailing-12-month revenue, a notably lean working capital footprint relative to the size of the business today.
Low-Fee, Flexible Fulfillment Partner: The 3PL charges only for pick, pack, and shipping, with no fees for storage, container unloading, or special requests, and has been a responsive, flexible partner for years that runs smoothly.
Two Straight Years of Strong Growth: Trailing-12-month revenue and seller's discretionary earnings both grew meaningfully year over year in 2024–2025, and again in 2025–2026, showing a two-year growth trend, not a single strong year.
Return Rate Near Rock Bottom: Returns and refunds run around 1.25%, a rate the seller describes as consistently low year after year, well below what is typical for the pest control and broader consumer products category.
SBA- and Pari Passu-Prequalified: This listing is prequalified for the SBA 7(a) maximum and pari passu financing, opening the door to a much wider pool of qualified buyers who don't need to bring all cash to the table to compete for this deal.
