The pest management industry is evolving faster than ever and the changes ahead could completely reshape how professionals work, innovate, and compete.
As we approach 2026, five key trends are emerging that no forward-thinking pest control professional can afford to ignore:
- Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Solutions
With growing environmental awareness, the demand for green and low-toxicity pest control methods is at an all-time high. - Climate-Driven Pest Migration
Rising temperatures and shifting weather patterns are causing pest species to appear in new regions and demanding new strategies. - Global Collaboration and Policy Reform
Governments, researchers, and pest associations are aligning efforts to regulate and standardize global pest management practices.
Each of these shifts presents both challenges and opportunities and understanding them early can be the difference between staying ahead or falling behind. That’s why the Global Pest Management Conference (GPMC) 2026 is bringing together global experts, regulators, researchers, and practitioners to explore these trends in depth.
