Mosquito Squad has locations throughout the United States. While different geographic regions will have different mosquito and tick species, mosquito and tick control is needed in almost every state and the region does not determine success.

While we do not require a background in pest control, some states may require experience as part of their licensing requirements. It’s important to verify your state’s specific licensing regulations.

Most franchisees start their Mosquito Squad business from home, but many relocate the business within a short period of time as the business is quite scalable and may outgrow a home office. Mosquito Squad does not require a retail location.

As with any business, someone designated as the Key Person must be devoted to starting and overseeing the business full-time. The Key Person must be an owner. However, you may request our approval to have a General Manager serve as your business’ Key Person.

Most locations will start with one truck and build that vehicle to capacity. Depending on the size of your territory and operation additional vehicles may need to be added.

Yes, all Mosquito Squad territories are protected. You will be granted a territory in which to sell the products and services you are authorized to sell under the Franchise Agreement. Your Territory is based on demographics and other characteristics including population density, average income and other characteristics of the surrounding area, natural boundaries, extent of competition and the amount and size of urban, suburban and rural areas. Also, while some competitors require you to invest in multiple territories to equal the size of one Mosquito Squad territory, we license individual territories that are sufficient to build an attractive business and often equivalent to what would require three or four territories from our competitors.

You may request permission to sell or service customers outside of your territory; however, when another franchisee licenses that territory the customers in that area will be transferred to the new owner.
