Houston Community Newspaper: Couple brings Mosquito Joe to Magnolia

Kate Kimpton and Paul Gould opened a Mosquito Joe this month to service the Northwest Houston community. The couple is looking forward to creating a safer living environment by protecting local residents from mosquitos and mosquito-borne illnesses through community service, generous donations and educating on the importance of mosquito protection.

Their first initiative was offering free sprays throughout 2015 to anyone infected by the West Nile Virus within their territory.

“I have a friend who was diagnosed three years ago with the West Nile Virus,” Paul told the Houston Community Newspaper. “Her diagnosis has made an impact on me.”

Kate and Paul will also be participating in the Beat the Bloodsuckers campaign beginning June 22, a nationwide campaign started by Mosquito Joe to give back to the community during Mosquito Control Awareness Week.

Mosquito Joe CEO Kevin Wilson takes pride in the fact that his company not only protects local communities but allows entrepreneurs to take their franchise opportunity and build on it. He is confident that Kate and Paul will expand business opportunities in the Houston market.

“I’m excited that Paul and Kate are taking Mosquito Joe to an area of Houston that hasn’t’ been covered,” Wilson said. “They’re doing a great job.”
