Rebranding or starting a pest control business requires choosing a good name. Ideally, one that’s:
Relevant. A pest control company who specializes in termites should make that clear in their name. Likewise, an pest control professional experienced with all common pests should make that clear.
Memorable. A catchy, easy-to-remember name sticks in customers’ minds and makes marketing easier.
Differentiating. A good name communicates your unique value proposition, setting you apart from the competition.
With the right tips – and inspiration from more than 200 pest control company name ideas – you can find the name that’ll get customers excited to learn more about your business.
Choosing a business name is both thrilling and frustrating. Not only should your pest control company name be memorable, relevant, and unique, but it should also make customers see you as trustworthy and reliable. That’s a lot to accomplish in just a few words.
Fortunately, following the right tips will help you find a name that hits all these qualities.
Compile all the names of competing pest control businesses in your service area. Analyze them for opportunities. For instance, you may see a lack of local companies emphasizing eco-friendliness. Or maybe your competitors are overdoing it on corporate-sounding names, and you can find one that’s more neighborly and approachable.
Once you’ve identified opportunities from analyzing competitors’ names, start generating ideas. Try WATSOT: writing at the speed of thought. Shoot for 50 names. Don’t edit as you write, or it’ll kill your creativity. Save your critical brain for when the list is done. Review your 50 names and narrow it down to the handful you like most.
Domain name refers to a business’ web address, for example, www.acmepest.com. Search for the name you’re considering to see what domain names are available. If it already exists, see if you can come up with a variation, such as changing “control” to “services.”
Some businesses use their social media pages as their primary website, so check there in addition to researching domain names. Reviewing social media will also give you a sense of how marketable your potential name is. Pay attention to the kind of content your competitors are creating, and how much it engages their audience.
Ideally, your pest control company name and domain would include a keyword customers use to search online, such as “pest control,” “animal removal,” or “termite control.” This enhances your pest control SEO, increasing the odds your business will surface in customers’ searches.
Every state has a business filing agency, and you can likely find it and search it online. This is an important step because it’s possible a business name has been filed for but not yet launched. Conducting legal research like this protects you from choosing a name that’s already trademarked.
By following these best practices, you’ll come up with a pest control company name that supports strong brand positioning among your competition. The stronger your brand name, the easier market penetration becomes.
These examples illustrate what many of the best pest control company names have in common: confidence, timeliness, and professionalism. These qualities make customers feel comfortable letting you handle their pest problems.

Pro-tip: When shooting for an inspirational name like these, beware of picking too general of a name. Always ask what you can point back to that anchors your pest control company’s name, such as your brand values.
The catchier your name, the more it sticks in potential customers’ minds.

Pro-tip: Remember brevity is the soul of wit. Catchy business names tend to be short, specific, and strong.
Unique pest control company names have an it factor, some kind of quality that’s hard to pin down yet also hard to ignore.

Pro-tip: A unique business name should sharpen your relevance in customers’ eyes. Gut-check yourself by asking how relevant your potential name is. If a customer can’t readily tell what you offer, your unique name goes from being an asset to a liability.
A little humor goes a long way. It’ll help you connect with customers who are likely to share your values and refer you to their friends.

Pro-tip: Remember that humor is highly subjective. Like with unique business names, a funny pest control company name can backfire if taken too far.
A professional-sounding company name positions you to win business from the broadest range of customers.

Pro-tip: Choosing a business name that appeals to everyone puts you in danger of appealing to no one. Remember to stay relevant to the specific services you offer. For instance, “Advanced Pest Control” is meaningless without context. If “Advanced” communicates your commitment to using the most up-to-date treatments and technology, now it means something specific you can build your marketing and reputation around.
A location-based name shows your investment in the local community. It also conveys authority: You know this part of the world and what its unique pest problems are. Compare that to a national pest control brand name, which may use the same approach regardless of location.

Pro-tip: Consider your growth plans when choosing a location-based name. For example, do you plan to service just your county, or do you want to eventually become a regional pest control company some day?
A job-specific pest control company name readily communicates your expertise and the value you offer customers.

Pro-tip: A job-specific company name could make it difficult to expand your service offerings later. Think through where you want your company to be in five to 10 years.
