Growing a Franchise
The pest control franchise claims to offer a “system” rather than a “business model,” with a low upfront cost, extensive corporate support and multiple revenue streams.
Mosquito Mary’s is a pest control franchise that specializes in the outdoor eradication of mosquitos, fleas and ticks. The brand offers comprehensive services for residential and commercial properties, including outdoor pest control, ant control, wasp removal, event protection and all-natural treatments for large gardens and ponds.
Founded in 2018 by current CEO Nick Spencer, Mosquito Mary’s began offering franchise opportunities in 2020. The brand currently has 13 locations across nine states.
According to a 2020 press release, “Mosquito Mary’s has a different philosophy than most franchise companies: we built a system, not a business model. Our goal is to help you build a company, not provide you with a job.”
As far as practical details go, Mosquito Mary’s offers a turnkey franchise model with a low up-front investment and recurring revenue from its various pest control services. The franchisor provides extensive ongoing training and support to ensure its franchisees succeed. This includes operational support, field training, marketing support and sales support.
Mosquito Mary’s does not make this information publicly available. Prospective owners may request a copy of Mosquito Mary’s franchise disclosure document (FDD) after speaking with a new business development team leader.
