Pestmaster, the 60-plus-unit pest management concept under the Threshold Brands umbrella, gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to invest in the $26.2 billion pest control industry while benefiting from the backing of a proven franchise system.

“This brand has been building and refining its operations for a long time, and it’s a rock-solid business model,” said Kieran Scott, Pestmaster brand president. “We have incredible opportunities in front of us at the moment, including a tremendous amount of whitespace. It’s rare to find a brand that has decades of experience under its belt with many territories available, let alone lucrative opportunities in key markets across the country.”

Because pest control is considered an essential service, the industry continues to grow year over year, despite challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, the pest control industry has grown 8.9% per year on average between 2017 and 2022. As Pestmaster continues to grow in markets around the United States, now is a great time for people to take their careers in a new direction and build a strong business.

Powerful Brand Recognition in a Strong Segment

For more than 40 years, Pestmaster has been a leader in integrated pest management services for residential and commercial customers. Specializing in pest management, rodent control, vegetation management, and wildlife removal and exclusion services, the brand has built a positive reputation with clients around the country.

With such strong recognition, clients can feel confident placing their trust and finances in Pestmaster. And because pest control services are necessary for all types of people, franchise owners have a wide open pool of customers.

“It really is a core market opportunity,” Scott explained. Unlike other franchise opportunities that draw on clients’ disposable income, pest control is something that everyone needs. It’s a service that is less likely to be put off for when someone has a little extra money lying around. “When you have a pest problem, you need to solve that pest problem,” he said.

Additionally, Pestmaster underwent major advancements over the past year. The franchise performed a visual transformation, conducted a major overhaul of its customer-facing website and implemented updated best practices for franchise owners to make business better than ever.

Government Contract Services

During periods of less demand associated with temperature drops, franchise owners are able to leverage government contracts. All government buildings have mandated pest control requirements and Pestmaster is one of just a few pest control companies that have government contracts. This gives franchise owners the opportunity to obtain recurring revenue while filling the growing demand for commercial and residential services.

“Even during times of lower pest pressure, government contract work is always there,” said Scott. “The federal government mandates year-round pest control, so franchise owners have an opportunity to secure contracts that will follow them through the entire year.”

Low Startup Costs & Extensive Support

At an initial investment range of $84,600 to $188,800, the Pestmaster business model requires low overhead costs and minimal inventory. Because of this, franchise owners can recoup their original investment relatively quickly and begin reinvesting in their business earlier. Pestmaster also offers benefits such as a complete package from training to marketing, as well as an in-house contract procurement department.

Franchise owners will also benefit from extensive support from the Pestmaster team. After signing, franchise owners attend five days of hands-on training at the corporate office and, during the opening week, they receive on-site launch support.

Additionally, Pestmaster offers resources to support owners as they obtain a pest control license, hosts quarterly meetings with the corporate team and other franchise owners and conducts regular technical training to make sure owners and teams are up to date on industry best practices.
