Now, it is gearing up for another year of growth.For franchisees looking to get into the home services space with an experienced, supportive franchisor,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/mosquitohunters/info">Hunters-Humbug</a> is an ideal model, offering both the business support and sheer market potential necessary to drive success.Here are the top five reasons to consider a Hunters-Humbug franchise for your 2026 investment.<h2>The Happinest Advantage: Unmatched Experience</h2>Hunters-Humbug is backed by the larger&nbsp;<a href="https://happinest.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-invest-hunters-humbug-franchise-happinest-2730858" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Happinest Brands</a> team, which includes Lawn Doctor, an industry titan with decades of experience. In franchising, stability is currency, and Hunters-Humbug franchisees can grow with confidence knowing they have both a highly qualified corporate team behind them and a strong network of franchisees with deep, varied expertise standing beside them.“Most people want to feel comfortable that the franchise knows what they’re doing and can provide a proven process,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shirley-warrington-6b5aaa90?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-invest-hunters-humbug-franchise-happinest-2730858" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Shirley Warrington</a>, senior director of franchise development at Happinest Brands. “We’re not trying to figure this out. We’ve done this for nearly 1,000 locations across the Happinest portfolio, and we have honed our processes and strategies with each new opening, allowing us to deliver the best possible support structure to our franchisees.”As a part of the Happinest Brands family, franchisees also benefit from the expertise of the leadership team, which brings a combined 200-plus years of experience in franchising.“Candidates feel confident knowing they are part of a bigger family,” she said. “We are the gatekeepers of the brand, and we ensure you have a roadmap that works.”<h2>Innovation and the 3-in-1 Model</h2>With its rebrand to the Hunters-Humbug model, the team multiplied franchisees’ addressable market by 15, opening the door for owners to provide pest control and lighting services, rather than just mosquito control, without buying another franchise brand or paying additional franchise fees. The market potential alone is a key advantage here, but there are other factors associated with a three-in-one model that support franchisees’ success.“We saw the writing on the wall with being a mosquito-only model,” Warrington said. “That industry was becoming increasingly competitive and seasonal. We evolved into a three-in-one model that allows owners to have a year-round business, retain staff and have three different levers to pull revenue-wise.”The model also opens the door for commercial revenue. Businesses see pest control as a must, and many business owners are equally committed to having beautiful lights for the holiday season. These demands create additional revenue opportunities and help franchisees find additional stability and predictability in their business.<h2>An AI-Proof, “Amazon-Proof” Model</h2>One of the most common concerns Warrington hears from candidates regarding a potential investment is the threat of artificial intelligence. Hunters-Humbug owners simply do not need to worry about this.“This is a business offering a service that&nbsp;has to be done by people,” she said. “We’re not going to be replaced by AI. We can use it to better support our franchisees and offer additional efficiencies, but the business will not be taken over by technology.”While Hunters-Humbug offers a service, completed by a person, the brand also draws heavily on franchisees' involvement in their local communities.In the home services space, it’s especially important that business leaders are present, engaged and trustworthy. Home and business owners are far more likely to welcome a person and their teams into a space if they know and trust them. Building these relationships locally is a major contributor to the success of the Hunters-Humbug business, and it’s another thing that absolutely must be done by the person leading the business — not an AI assistant.<h2>The Power of Recurring Revenue</h2>Hunters-Humbug operates on a membership model, creating predictable, recurring revenue. Unlike businesses that rely on a larger, one-time purchase that most consumers only make every few years, this model builds momentum week after week.“You have building blocks. It’s a snowball effect,” Warrington said. “You only have to capture the customer once. Treat them well, cross-sell whatever service they don’t yet receive from you, and they’ll use that service week after week, year after year.”The ability to market multiple recurring services to a shared customer base also positions franchisees to more efficiently&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/mosquitohunters/hunters-humbug-holiday-lighting-margins-drive-growth-2730094">reinvest in their businesses</a>.<h2>A Valued, Necessary Service</h2>Hunters-Humbug meets a practical need and addresses a very real market. Pest control is not a luxury that will be cut, even when things get tight; it’s a safety and sanitation necessity.“Our franchisees provide a valued service to the community,” Warrington said. “Most people, if they have a pest control issue, aren’t going to wait around and take care of it in a few months. It’s a top priority for them.”This level of necessity bodes well for franchisees financially, but it also offers another layer of fulfillment. There is a deep level of satisfaction found in providing services that people truly need.“Our franchisees love that they are able to be out in their communities, educating people on why it’s important to take care of things like rodents or ants,” Warrington said. “They love providing a service that’s truly making a difference.”Warrington shared a similar sentiment surrounding holiday lighting. For many families, keeping the holidays magical, even when times are tough, is a top priority — and something they’ll make sacrifices in other areas to achieve.&nbsp;As it grows, the brand is attracting a new caliber of owner — those who are ready to invest the capital and energy to build a high-performing, community-focused, three-in-one business.“In less than 24 months of this model, we’ve seen a substantial increase in revenue, and owners are taking note,” Warrington said. “If you’re looking to build something substantial, this is where you want to be.”To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/mosquitohunters">https://1851franchise.com/mosquitohunters</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
