Pest Share Secures $28 Million Series A Funding to Transform Property Management Pest Control

Pest Share has closed a $28 million Series A funding round, marking a significant milestone for the pest control amenity platform designed specifically for property managers and their residents. The company, led by CEO and Co-Founder Landon Cooley, has evolved rapidly since its market entry in 2020, building a nationwide business that services over 300,000 residential units across 48 states. Cooley, who brings 17 years of pest management experience and represents the fourth generation in his family to work in the industry, described the funding round as another chapter in the company's journey toward becoming the category-defining company in property management pest control.

The platform's innovative business model automates pest control service dispatch and connects residents with a national network of high-quality, vetted service providers. This approach transforms what has traditionally been a costly expense for property managers into a potential revenue-generating amenity. Property managers can use Pest Share as a standalone solution or offer it as an amenity to residents, with the platform helping to reduce operational headaches related to pest control while improving overall service quality. The company currently works with over 700 property management companies ranging from local operators with 200 units to large national brands managing over 50,000 properties, including partnerships with companies like Re/Max, Roofstock and ARK Homes For Rent.

Cooley emphasized that Pest Share's differentiation lies in the founders' deep pest management expertise combined with technological innovation. Unlike typical tech founders attempting to disrupt a legacy industry, the Pest Share leadership brings generations of knowledge in the pest control sector. The company leverages modern AI technology to deliver faster, more automated experiences for residents and provide deeper integrations for property managers. This combination of domain expertise and technological advancement has enabled Pest Share to win business from hundreds of property managers by completely solving pest control problems through tech integrations while driving outstanding resident experiences and delivering net operating income improvements.

The $28 million Series A funding will be used to fuel continuous growth in both single-family and multifamily rental markets. The capital will support investments in product development, expansion of go-to-market initiatives, and development of strategic integrations and partnerships with other leading industry software platforms. As competitors begin to emerge in the industry, Pest Share positions itself to maintain relevance through its national network of providers and deep understanding of the property management sector. The company's approach to team building focuses on finding people who fit their unique company culture, then building on transparency and accountability while giving talented team members the autonomy to make significant impacts.

Pest Share's growth trajectory demonstrates the significant market opportunity for tailored pest control solutions in the property management industry. The platform's ability to address a longstanding pain point for property managers while creating value through revenue generation and operational efficiency positions it as a potential standard across professionally managed rental housing. With the residential property management industry continually seeking ways to enhance resident experiences and improve bottom-line performance, Pest Share's innovative model represents a fundamental shift in how pest control services are delivered and monetized in the rental market space.
