About Mosquito Hunters
Mosquito Hunters is a home-based, route-based outdoor pest control franchise specialising in residential and light commercial mosquito and tick treatment. The brand was founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2013, began franchising in 2015, and operates more than 140 territories across the US. It is part of Happinest Brands, the home-services group that also owns Lawn Doctor, ecomaids, Elite Window Cleaning and Sparkle Squad.
The model is built around recurring seasonal service: technicians apply scheduled barrier treatments through the mosquito season, generating repeat plans, dense routes and high retention rather than one-off jobs. Customers include homeowners, HOAs, property managers and small commercial accounts such as event venues and outdoor hospitality sites.
To extend revenue beyond the warmer months, the franchise has broadened into a three-service model under the Pest Hunters–Mosquito Hunters banner, adding perimeter pest control and Humbug Holiday Lighting. Owners run a low-overhead, mobile operation from home within a protected territory, with no retail premises required.
Franchisee Support
Franchisees complete a week-long initial business training program, including four days at headquarters, followed by around two months of coaching calls and ongoing support from a field representative. Continuing resources run through Mosquito Hunters University, the brand's online learning platform, alongside regional meetings, an annual conference, routing and scheduling technology, and a national call centre that helps drive bookings. Because technicians must be licensed and some states require a certified applicator, resale buyers should confirm staff licensing status and what transfer training the franchisor provides to incoming owners.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Mosquito Hunters has ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500, including #168 in 2021 and #291 in 2020, and appeared again on the 2023 list. It has also been recognised as a Top Franchise for Veterans, a Top New Franchise, a Top 10 Low-Cost Franchise, one of the Fastest-Growing Franchises, and the #1 Fastest-Growing Mosquito Franchise. As part of Happinest Brands, it carries the backing of an established multi-brand home-services group. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews and reputation.
Industry / Market
Mosquito Hunters operates in the US pest control market, valued at roughly $17 billion and growing steadily as outdoor-living spending rises and awareness of mosquito- and tick-borne illness increases. Mosquito and tick treatment is among the faster-growing niches in the category, supported by warmer, longer seasons and demand from homeowners, HOAs and outdoor venues. Demand is seasonal across much of the country, which the brand's added pest control and lighting lines help offset. For resale buyers, local climate, competition and territory maturity strongly shape a unit's performance.
Ideal Owner
Mosquito Hunters suits a hands-on local operator comfortable building and managing a small field team and coordinating efficient service routes. The model rewards owners who are sales-oriented and community-minded, focused on customer relationships, renewals and reviews that drive recurring revenue. No pest control background is required, as the franchisor provides training, but management experience, organisation and a service mindset help. Owners should be comfortable with seasonal staffing and the licensing rules that apply to treatment technicians.
