More About This Franchise
Mosquito Shield was founded in September of 2001 in response to the absence of an effective residential mosquito control service and the inadequacy of control products such as body sprays, candles and mosquito magnets. Now, over 1 million treatments and 50 franchise locations later, Mosquito Shield’s proprietary control products and specialized spray techniques keep tens of thousands of American homes mosquito and tick-free every year.
Company founder, David Briggs, spent twenty years as a franchisee with a national lawn care franchise and, having listened to the evolving needs of his customers, understood there was a market for a residential mosquito control service and decided to strike out on his own. He started developing his own proprietary blend of all-natural oils and select control products, and testing application methods and frequencies with the goal of perfecting an effective and responsible solution. The result was Mosquito Shield, a service that turns any treated property into a mosquito-free zone by killing and repelling mosquitoes and other harmful outdoor pests.
Mosquito Shield spent the next few years refining its customer acquisition and retention strategies, and taking a methodical approach to growth that led to the launch of its proprietary tick control service, Tick Shield, and special event service, Event Shield.
The Mosquito Shield Franchise Corporation was launched in 2013 and has since developed into a leading franchise opportunity in this growing home services sector. By combining a great product with past experience as a franchisee, David and his team have established a franchise model that delivers a superior experience for both consumers and owners. The company has since blossomed from a single location in Massachusetts to locations in over 20 states across the United States.
Residential mosquito and tick control services are now part of a structural pest control industry that generated an estimated $9.359 billion in total service revenue in the United States in 2019, up from $8.971 billion in 2018 (source). With the threat of mosquito and tick-borne illnesses on the rise in the United States, the residential mosquito control market has become the fastest-growing pest control segment, with service revenue from residential barrier treatments increasing at a compound annual growth rate in excess of 22% since 2017.
