Pest Control Refillable Traps FBA Business

Since 2022, this business has sold refillable fly traps via Amazon. With gross margins of 85% and 25% of sales coming from repeat orders, the product line competes on price, design, and overall effectiveness. Like the pest control industry in general, there is some seasonality with the winter months being the worst, though the sellers have a system to optimize inventory levels.

The business runs lean with only two employees. The sellers spend around 15 hours per week managing inventory, optimizing campaigns, and improving listings. Growth opportunities include launching a dedicated website and investing in other PPC platforms, expanding to Walmart.com, and testing new products in the pest control space like traps for ants and cockroaches. New refillable products could do particularly well as Subscribe & Save numbers continue to grow.
