Description
Mosquito Shield is a top-performing pest control franchise specializing in mosquito and tick control services. With over two decades of proven success, Mosquito Shield has redefined the industry through its proprietary, seasonally adjusted spray formula and dynamic scheduling system, which adjusts based on mosquito activity and weather patterns—not a static calendar. This unique approach leads to superior results and higher customer retention, making it a leader in the $26B+ pest control market.
Franchisees benefit from a home-based, low-overhead model with recurring revenue, high margins, and a short season of service—allowing for more flexibility and work-life balance. Backed by exceptional training, marketing support, and exclusive territories, Mosquito Shield is ideal for owner-operators or semi-absentee investors looking to build a scalable, in-demand local business with a mission of making outdoor spaces enjoyable again.
