A pest control company whose filing counts its employees, its U.S. employees and those at its U.S. branches, so one services pattern carries it on a stated count.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 10% now, 13% at the end of 2027, 13% at the end of 2028, 14% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 14% desk work, 8% people work and 78% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 86% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 8% becomes checking a model's work and 6% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
Headcount
21,946 employees as of December 31, 2025 (stated). Approximately 19,700 of 21,946 employees are located in the United States, about 90%, with approximately 17,560 at U.S. branch offices.
The filing: “As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 21,946 employees.”
The workforce as industry patterns
| Pattern | Share | Reason, from the filing |
|---|---|---|
| Services to Buildings and Dwellings | 100% | By (a): the filing states 17,560 employees at U.S. branch offices of its 19,700 in the United States, pest and termite control work that NAICS places in services to buildings and dwellings; the home office and support staff have no stated count and stay inside the pattern as BLS counts them (rule 6), and the pattern applies abroad because the work is the same (rule 7). |
What the filing says about the workforce: 21,946 employees at December 31, 2025, up from 20,265 and 19,031 in the two prior years; about 19,700 in the United States and 17,560 at U.S. branch offices; less than 2% of U.S. employees are represented by a union; about 300 people managers have completed The Co-Lab leadership program since 2025.
