More on STV Pest Control:

The new season is especially exciting for STV with the further development of their key brands ‘The Big Cheese’ and ‘Zero In’. Investing in category trend information, consumer insight research and EPOS data has given STV a unique perspective on the growing category of HOME PEST CONTROL.

A range of factors are driving growth in home pest control. From the trend for working from home which makes consumers more aware of pest problems, to the changing climate conditions which encourage pest population growth, rodents, insects and other nuisance pests are increasingly prompting consumers to seek effective DIY pest control solutions.

The rapidly increasing costs of calling out a professional pest controller, coupled with cash-strapped councils withdrawing their domestic pest control services, means that there is also growing demand for reliable and effective solutions. This is what is driving unprecedented growth in our ULTRA POWER branded options which are designed to be just ‘LIKE THE PROFESIONALS USE’

STV’s trade offer for 2025 is designed to ensure that all our retail partners have the tools to take maximum advantage of this growing opportunity.
