West Sussex, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - February 18, 2025) - Merlin Environmental, the UK's leading commercial pest control company specialising in bed bug detection and eradication, is proud to announce record-breaking business growth over the past fiscal year. The company has experienced a 30% increase in client base, leading to a 40% rise in staff headcount and a 30% expansion in its specialist canine detection team.

This significant growth has been driven by a surge in demand, not only across the UK but also from international markets, including the Republic of Ireland and the Channel Islands. As a recognised authority in bed bug detection, Merlin Environmental's expertise was sought by major TV stations during the UK's bed bug crisis following the 2023 Rugby World Cup, further solidifying its position as the go-to provider for businesses facing infestations.
Tim West, Commercial Director of Merlin Environmental, attributes the company's expansion to a combination of factors, including its robust organic marketing strategy focusing on SEO and PR, as well as its commitment to delivering industry-leading pest control solutions.
"Our reputation has grown organically through the quality of our work and the results we deliver," says Tim West. "Word-of-mouth referrals have played a huge role in our success, and our ability to rapidly scale while maintaining service excellence is a testament to our incredible team."
Merlin's canine detection unit has been instrumental in the company's success. With a 30% increase in trained bed bug detection dogs, the firm continues to lead the way in using cutting- edge, non-toxic detection methods that allow businesses to identify bed bug infestations quickly, at scale and with unparallel accuracy.
Tim West also highlights the impact of the bed bug epidemic that swept through the UK in late 2023:
"The surge in bed bug cases following the Rugby World Cup led to an influx of new enquiries. However, this success wasn't just a reaction to the crisis-it was the result of years of positioning ourselves as the industry's most reliable bed bug solution. When the media needed bed bug experts, they turned to Merlin, and the resulting visibility, which included two national TV appearances and countless online press features, has helped propel us to new levels of public awareness and business growth."
As increasing demand for their services continues to push Merlin Environmental to new heights, the business remains committed to innovation, rapid response, and highly effective service delivery for commercial clients across sectors such as hospitality, transport, and healthcare.
