Overview

About Mosquito Joe

Outdoor pest control with predictable recurring revenue and tight territories. Founded in 2010, Mosquito Joe has grown to 180 units across the United States: a mature franchise system with a clear playbook, national brand recognition, and dedicated franchisee support from day one.

The brand operates in home services, a category that benefits from homeowner spending on maintenance, which has grown every year since 2008.

With a 10% royalty and an initial franchise fee of $35K, the total investment is positioned for owners who value both an established system and fair economics. FDD available on request.

The model

How the business actually works.

01
Service territory model, so you own the customer relationships in your geography.
02
Recurring homeowner accounts built through quality work and consistent follow-through.
03
Field-based operations with low real-estate overhead, often van or home-office based.
04
Scale by adding technicians, not new locations.
