By national ratios Palma supports about 180 full-time pest control technician pros — enough for a real local trade with specialists, not just generalists. That is larger than most Spain cities we cover. 67 % of homes are owner-occupied, so the work skews toward owners who decide and pay themselves — repairs, upgrades and maintenance plans. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
