In the Kenya Pest Control Market, some challenges faced include lack of awareness about the importance of professional pest control services among the general population, leading to a preference for DIY methods or traditional remedies. Additionally, there is a shortage of skilled pest control technicians in the country, resulting in a limited workforce to meet the growing demand for pest control services. Furthermore, the presence of counterfeit or substandard pest control products in the market poses a significant challenge to reputable pest control companies that strive to provide effective and safe solutions to their clients.
