About Mosquito Shield
Mosquito Shield is a mosquito, tick and perimeter pest control franchise serving residential homeowners across the United States. Founded in 2001 and franchising since 2013, the brand built its reputation on a proprietary treatment that blends natural oils with control products, applied on a weather-responsive schedule rather than fixed calendar dates for fuller seasonal coverage.
The business runs on a home-based, mobile model with a seasonal, subscription-style cadence, typically operating spring through fall. Owners manage service routes and a small crew of licensed technicians rather than a storefront. Since 2022 the brand has been part of Five Star Franchising, a multi-brand home-services platform that provides shared marketing, technology and operational support across its portfolio.
Mosquito Shield now spans a national network of more than 400 franchise territories and treats tens of thousands of households each year. It differentiates on responsive scheduling, exclusive application equipment and a no-contract, money-back service guarantee, positioning itself as a specialist alternative to generalist add-on pest services.
Franchisee Support
Initial training covers 36 combined hours of classroom and on-the-job instruction across mosquito and tick biology, equipment use, service delivery and business operations. Ongoing support includes written and video tutorials, bi-weekly calls with the VP of Operations, a business success coach, an intranet, route-management and CRM software, and a National Sales Center handling inbound and outbound leads. Owners also access a Franchise Advisory Council and Five Star Franchising's Annual Franchise Owners Meeting. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and system access transfer to new owners and the licensing status of technicians.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Mosquito Shield has ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 from 2022 to 2025 and topped its pest-control category three years running (2023-2025), with further Entrepreneur recognition including Fastest-Growing Franchises (2022-2025), Top Brands for Multi-Unit Owners (2024-2025) and Top Franchise Under $150K (2025). It has also earned Franchise Business Review Top Franchise satisfaction awards (2015, 2016, 2021, 2022) and a Franchise Gator Top 100 listing. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside a territory's local reviews and referral strength.
Industry / Market
The US pest control market is large and steadily growing, with industry revenue projected to reach roughly $29.7 billion in 2026 (IBISWorld). Mosquito and tick control is among the faster-expanding segments, driven by rising awareness of vector-borne illnesses such as West Nile, Lyme and EEE, longer warm seasons and growing homeowner spending on outdoor living. Demand is seasonal but recurring, concentrated spring through fall. For resale buyers, local climate, property density and established customer routes shape how much of this demand a specific territory can capture.
Ideal Owner
Mosquito Shield suits hands-on local operators comfortable managing service routes and a small team of licensed technicians. The model rewards customer-focused, process-driven owners who can hold retention high across a seasonal calendar and build community visibility. Prior pest-control experience is not required, since technicians must be licensed and training is provided, but organisation, scheduling discipline and strong customer relationships matter. It fits both first-time owners and existing operators adding a recurring-revenue, home-based business to their portfolio.
