MACON, Ga. — Mosquito Squad Plus was identified by independent research firm, Franchise Business Review, as a 2025 Top Franchise for Veterans. Only 100 brands were named to the annual list of award winners.

Mosquito Squad Plus, part of the Authority Brands family, is a leading mosquito and tick control franchise known for its state-of-the-art products and services while bringing awareness to the importance of pest management to help control diseases transmitted by pests. Veterans have found Mosquito Squad Plus to be a strong fit because the brand offers clear training, steady guidance and a support system that helps new owners learn the business.

Franchise Business Review, a research firm that conducts independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ratings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes annual rankings of the top franchises each year, as well as industry reports throughout the year that highlight research on the top franchises in specific sectors.

To identify the companies on this year’s list of the Top Franchises for Veterans, Franchise Business Review analyzed data from over 2,100 veteran franchise owners representing 365 brands regarding their overall satisfaction with their brands and their likelihood to recommend them to others. 

“Veterans exploring franchise ownership have many options to choose from, but it’s not always easy to know which brands truly deliver,” said Eric Stites, founder and CEO of Franchise Business Review. “While many franchises advertise incentives for veterans, what matters most is the experience after the contract is signed. Our independent surveys capture feedback directly from veteran franchise owners, and the brands on this year’s list earned the highest satisfaction ratings from them—making these companies stand out as top choices for veterans ready to transition into business ownership.”

Mosquito Squad Plus’ franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training and support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations and financial opportunity. 

“Our veteran owners are some of the most driven, mission-focused entrepreneurs in our system,” said Jef Flournoy, president of Mosquito Squad Plus. “Their military training equips them with discipline, leadership and a commitment to service — all qualities that translate exceptionally well to franchise ownership. Seeing Mosquito Squad Plus named a Top Franchise for Veterans reinforces what we experience every day: Veterans strengthen our brand and help us deliver exceptional service to communities nationwide.”

One of those owners is Marine Corps veteran and multi-unit franchisee Luke Cain, whose journey from combat deployments to owning two Mosquito Squad Plus locations illustrates the opportunity franchising can offer veterans.

“I’ve spent my life serving others,” Cain said, “and now I get to do that in my own way, building something that supports my family and my community.”

Cain now serves on Mosquito Squad Plus’ Franchise Advisory Council and regularly collaborates with franchisees across the system, something he says mirrors the camaraderie he valued in the military. His commitment to service continues today as he builds businesses that support his family, his employees and his community.
