With thousands of franchise concepts available for entrepreneurs to choose from, deciding which are best when expanding a portfolio can be difficult. With benefits like a simple and proven business model, strong support infrastructure and flexible opening strategies, the emerging home services concept Mosquito Hunters has become a go-to destination for business owners looking to invest in a new opportunity.

Because of these elements—and more—Mosquito Hunters’ unique advantages for growing entrepreneurs have attracted franchise candidates all over the country who are looking to expand their business portfolios.

One of these candidates is Beth Willis, a Mosquito Hunters franchisee in Michigan. “My husband and I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit,” said Willis. “In 2006 we started an insurance agency from scratch and built a multimillion-dollar business. After we sold our stakes in that company, we opened a successful retail store that operated primarily during the fall and winter. When we decided to find a franchise opportunity that would complement our seasonal schedule, Mosquito Hunters was the perfect fit.”

Mosquito Hunters offers a Soft Roll Out for franchisees who sign on between May and August so they can train in the summer and potentially attract late-season customers. Mosquito Hunters’ Soft Roll Out strategy allows new franchisees like Willis to keep up with their other priorities while running ground game part-time to establish their brands.

Along with finding a successful summer business, Willis didn’t want to have to reinvent the wheel and needed a company that would support her and her husband’s efforts while providing them the tools to succeed. The duo focused on the home services segment, and Mosquito Hunter’s solid corporate support and simple business model were extremely attractive.

“After seeing the expertise of Andy Fuller and the rest of the leadership team, I had a very good feeling this was the right fit,” said Willis. “From the backing of Lawn Doctor to the marketing plan, I knew that Mosquito Hunters was a strong franchise opportunity. Starting any business from scratch would have taken time and capital that we didn’t have—Mosquito Hunters offered a low initial investment, streamlined operations and exceptional franchisee support that allows for an easy and quick opening.”

As a mobile-based, appointment-driven business, Mosquito Hunters delivers a manageable yet meaningful business opportunity to its franchisees, allowing them to take some of their time back while still being in business for themselves.

Omaha franchisee Dave Maciejewski, MBA, is another entrepreneur that decided to add Mosquito Hunters to his impressive business portfolio. After over two decades in the corporate world with a focus on customer service and analytics, Maciejewski followed his dream of starting his own business with Upscale Home Services, the Nebraska-based window cleaning and holiday lighting display company. 

“When my company started to experience year-over-year growth, I knew we needed to expand our services, especially during the summer months,” said Maciejewski. “Instead of hiring another crew to grow the window cleaning side of the business, I decided to look into franchising opportunities to diversify my portfolio. Within the home services segment, Mosquito Hunters checked all of the boxes.”

In addition to the spring-through-fall value that the concept brought, Maciejewski immediately felt a kinship with Mosquito Hunter’s philosophy and brand messaging, in which customer loyalty came above everything else. Working within the home services industry, Maciejewski understood how important a trustworthy service and team is in order to make clients feel safe letting them into their homes. 

“At my first business, our customers know us on a first-name basis,” said Maciejewski. “The way the Mosquito Hunters leadership team approached the onboarding process and marketing showed me that they do the same. I was able to talk to current franchisees on a regular basis and have that line of sight about the many facets of the business.”

Maciejewski also points out that he was drawn to the fact that Mosquito Hunters is still in the early phases of franchise growth. “Being that the business and concept is fairly new to Omaha, I was drawn to the flexibility and room for growth,” he said. “When expanding a portfolio, it is important to have leeway in order to find the best way to bring multiple business opportunities together.”

For both Maciejewski and Willis, the Mosquito Hunters franchise opportunity stood out from the crowd thanks to a seasonal schedule, a proven model, strong marketing and exceptional leadership support. As the two franchisees continue to enjoy success incorporating the franchise into their business portfolios, it is clear that Mosquito Hunters is the perfect addition to expanding entrepreneurial ventures.
