Pestmaster Services Plan Continued Growth in Atlanta As Company Secures Two Territories

Pestmaster Services, the 65-plus-unit exterminator franchise that is part of Threshold Brands, is in the midst of a double-digit expansion in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. The company just signed a two-territory agreement with franchisee Gavin Green, and is looking to add about 15 more territories to their service-offering list in the area.

Green is gearing up to open his units in the Alpharetta, Woodstock and Marietta areas. He is the brand’s third Georgian franchisee, with locations open already in Augusta and Statesboro.

The brand is targeting Atlanta for more franchise openings because the pest-management market in the muggy and humid Southeast is booming, especially as summer is approaching. Consumer Affairs recently ranked Atlanta as the number one city in the country with the most mosquitoes. The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) named Atlanta as the number six “Buggiest City”. Georgia property owners spend about $250 million dollars per year on pest-control services and damages to fix issues caused by pests.

In addition, the area makes for an attractive target market not just because of the number of pests present, but also the number of people. Population in the Atlanta metro has boomed in recent years, growing more than 26% since 2010. The city itself has 532,695 residents who currently call it home, according to the census.

And once Green gets his business up and running in his two territories, brand awareness should build quickly in the area. Pestmaster Services technicians wear bright green shirts, and company vehicles are thoughtfully designed to attract attention and market the brand name to potential customers.

“We are so excited to begin our Atlanta expansion with the signing of Gavin’s two territories,” said Kieran Scott, brand president. “Pestmaster Services is set to be a household name in the area in no time. With our reliable services and friendly technicians, we hope that every property owner in Atlanta will soon know about the brand and feel like they have a trustworthy service to call whenever they are having pest problems.”
