Mosquito Shield
Overview
Mosquito Shield provides residential and commercial mosquito and tick control services using proprietary spray formulas and specialized application techniques. Founded in 2001, the company was created to address the limitations of conventional mosquito control solutions like body sprays and candles. The franchise launched in 2013 and has since expanded to over 400 locations, becoming a leader in the rapidly growing pest control industry. In 2022, Mosquito Shield was acquired by Five Star Franchising, enhancing its technology, marketing, and operational support for franchisees.
As a franchise owner, you will oversee a home-based service business focused on customer acquisition, scheduling, and local marketing while trained technicians handle treatments. The franchise provides extensive support, including a centralized National Sales Center for inbound leads, digital marketing strategies, proprietary CRM tools, and business management training. With an industry-leading customer retention rate of 95%, franchisees benefit from a recurring revenue model and protected territories.
This is a great ownership opportunity for individuals looking to enter the growing home services sector with a scalable, seasonal business. With strong demand for mosquito and tick control, proprietary products, and a high customer renewal rate, Mosquito Shield offers a structured franchise model for those interested in a home-based, service-driven business.
