The Pestmaster Business Model Positions Franchise Owners to Succeed

With over 40 units operating nationwide, Pestmaster, the pest management and wildlife control franchise, has proven to be a lucrative business opportunity. With the backing of Threshold Brands, the multi-brand home services franchisor, Pestmaster is part of a larger network of lucrative, scalable business concepts and passionate, well-informed owners.

“The home services industry is growing in a meaningful way, offering vital services that customers value,” said Kieran Scott, president of growth brands. “Pestmaster provides an essential, high-demand service for homeowners across the country while requiring a low initial investment from new franchise owners. Owners have the potential to quickly grow their business into a hugely successful operation with incredible ROI.”

Both the larger pest control market and Pestmaster business model offer an attractive business opportunity for prospective owners. Because pests can persist year-round in some markets, and they certainly do not go away just because there is an economic downturn, the business lends itself to steady recurring revenue, even when other business models may face uncertainty.

The $20 billion pest control industry leverages a persistent demand for healthy, safe, pest-free environments to sustain its growth.

Pestmaster’s Offerings Allow Owners to Market Multiple Services to Three Customer Bases: Residential, Commercial, and Government Clientele

While Pestmaster focuses primarily on “pest control,” this is a broad overarching term. This often encompasses things like ant, roach and spider mitigation in residential settings, but Pestmaster can also address stinging insects, snails and slugs, termites, bed bugs, fleas and ticks, bees, rodents and unwelcome birds.

Pestmaster also has a strong history in government contracts. Because the franchise has established itself as a primary provider in that space and has a dedicated team to support franchise owners in securing these contracts, franchise owners’ potential client bases are widened greatly. Pestmaster franchise owners can also secure contracts with non-governmental commercial entities and larger residential entities, like the owners of multi-family real estate.

Of course, single-family homes present a demand for pest control services as well. With high-income homeowners often willing to purchase preventative recurring services and other single-family homes requesting emergency services for pests like bedbugs or rodents, everyone is a potential Pestmaster customer.

The Pestmaster Model Lends Itself to Quick Startup and Low Overhead

As a mobile, service-based business, Pestmaster requires less time to launch as owners are not required to select real estate and either negotiate a lease or build a storefront from the ground up. This also allows owners to maintain relatively low ongoing costs, completely removing a building, utilities and retail inventory from the equation.

With low inventory and no brick-and-mortar storefront necessary, franchise owners can focus on obtaining any education, licensure or certification they will need to operate in their state to ensure a quick launch. And because Pestmaster owners offer a service that is deemed a necessity for many homeowners, business owners and government organizations, the business is incredibly scalable and lends itself to becoming profitable quickly.

Threshold Brands’ Contribution

In September of 2020, Pestmaster was acquired by Threshold Brands, the parent franchisor to multiple leading home service franchise brands. The brand maintained its strong business model and decades of expertise while gaining access to a larger network of qualified franchise and home services professionals.

With the backing of Threshold Brands, Pestmaster franchise owners have access to an inclusive support structure and a range of shared services across the entire portfolio of franchise concepts. The Threshold Brands leadership team also brings a host of experience in branding, marketing and scaling businesses, providing an extra “boost” as the brand scales.

As Pestmaster continues to grow, it is looking to partner with passionate franchise owners in Georgia, Alabama, Texas, the Carolinas, Louisiana, Virginia, Iowa, Ohio, Colorado, Washington and Kentucky.
