WebsiteClosers® presents an SBA Pre-Qualified Natural Insect-Control Brand that sells food-grade, minimum-risk traps to National Retailers like Walmart and Ace Hardward, as well as regional distributors across the U.S.
Founded in 2022, the business has completed four selling seasons and earned approved vendor status with some of the largest hardware, home improvement, and farm supply accounts in the country. Sales from January to August 2026 rose 13.3% over the same period in 2025, the company runs at a 40% net profit margin.
SBA Financing
This business has been pre-qualified for SBA financing, offering a distinct advantage to prospective acquirers. For qualified buyers, this means the company meets stringent lender criteria for consistent cash flow, operational stability, and financial documentation — reducing uncertainty and expediting the lending process. With only 10% down required, buyers can secure ownership through a 10-year, fully amortized loan at competitive fixed interest rates, allowing for an affordable monthly payment structure and maximum leverage of capital.
Business Model
The company sells four products under one registered brand: a mosquito barrier and trap, a fly trap, a flying insect trap for wasps and hornets, and a fire ant killer. Each trap uses a species-specific attractant and a commercial-grade adhesive surface to catch insects without chemical sprays. All four products qualify for exemption from federal pesticide registration under FIFRA Section 25(b), and their formulas passed a third-party regulatory review in June 2026 with almost no comment. Every product sells at a $24.99 suggested retail price and a $12.50 standard wholesale price. A 30 to 45-day service life brings consumers back for replacements all through the spring and summer. An independent lab study backs the flagship mosquito trap, which caught 75.6% of released mosquitoes compared to 32.8% for an inactive control.
Traffic
Sales run through about 15 active trade accounts, including national hardware distributors, a major big-box chain, and regional livestock, farm, and animal-health suppliers, several of which have reordered every season for years. For spring 2027, the flagship mosquito product will be stocked in 3,784 stores at one of the largest retailers in the country, up 591 stores from the current count, with roughly 37,840 units set to ship in December 2026.
Five more accounts in horticultural, animal-health, home improvement, and feed distribution come on for the 2027 season. The brand also owns their Amazon Seller Central account, Brand Registry, and two listings with more than 480 combined reviews, while an authorized reseller handles day-to-day Amazon sales. Shelf-ready displays and a four-tier floor unit let stores set the full line on endcaps, and the company pays no slotting or co-op fees to any account.
Operations
The business runs with no W-2 employees, no lease, and no owned real estate. A single overseas contract manufacturer produces all four products to the company’s own formulas, with a 15% deposit and the balance due 60 days after shipment. A third-party logistics provider handles warehousing and fulfillment, and a team of independent contractors covers sales, state registrations, accounting, customer service, and sourcing. The two active owners spend about 5 hours per week each on retailer relationships, sourcing, and compliance. Consumer demand peaks from March to July, and retail orders ship each December. All contractors are expected to stay on, and the owners will provide 60 days of transition support. The company carries $2 million per-occurrence product liability coverage and has never had a product claim, recall, or regulatory inquiry.
Business Broker Takeaways
1. Secured Retail Growth. The 3,784-store placement and five new 2027 accounts are already in place but not yet reflected in the historical numbers, giving a new owner a clear head start.
2. Hands-Off Operations. With outsourced manufacturing, a 3PL, and a contractor team in place, the business runs without an owner on site and needs about 10 owner hours per week in total.
3. Protected Brand Assets. The registered U.S. trademark, state pesticide registrations, and Amazon Brand Registry all stay with the business through a sale of membership interests.
Growth Opportunities
A 2026 supplier renegotiation cut unit cost from $2.45–$2.60 to $1.60 on three products and from $3.94 to $3.00 on the fire ant killer, and those savings have not yet shown up in a full reporting period. A buyer can sell direct on Amazon instead of through the reseller and keep the added margin. The listings carry only four images against a category norm of seven to nine, so better images and content could lift conversions. The Shopify store, email, and social media channels sit unused, leaving room to build direct-to-consumer sales. New 25(b)-exempt products can reach the market without EPA registration, and targeting a new insect only takes a new attractant, not a new product platform. Standard packaging and displays also make it simple to pitch more hardware, agricultural, and outdoor-living retailers.
Summary
This business offers a compelling opportunity for potential buyers looking to invest in a rapidly growing sector with strong environmental credentials and a proven track record of success.
