About Mosquito Shield Franchise

Mosquito Shield started out as an idea, when our President and Founder, David Briggs, saw that there were not any dependable or affordable options on the market for residential mosquito control.

During the first few years, David constantly researched the life cycle of the mosquito, and set about testing different formulations and application methods to arrive at the Mosquito Shield system that we use today.

At the same time, David had been running a very successful franchise for a nationally recognized lawn care service. More than 20 years as a franchisee taught David what it takes to get customers, serve them efficiently, and keep them satisfied. Running his own lawn care franchise also gave David the firsthand understanding of the contributions that the corporation and franchisee must make for the business to succeed.

OUR OPPORTUNITY

Since 2001, Mosquito Shield has been providing residential and commercial customers with professional mosquito & tick control services—with amazing results. Every Mosquito Shield franchise is built for success, on a foundation of proprietary resources and know-how. Best of all, the Mosquito Shield franchise opportunity allows you to bring a unique, exciting business approach with guaranteed customer results to a new and rapidly growing market.

OUR UNIQUE APPROACH

Over our 19 years in business, we've applied our scientific research behind the life cycle of the mosquito, tested various application methods and products, and determined optimum visit frequency. Early testing showed that just applying standard control materials didn’t deliver measurable and consistent results. After further study, we developed a proprietary barrier spray that, regardless when started, lasts for weeks and grows in strength as the season progresses. Our Mosquito Protection Blend, comprised of all-natural oils, both masks your CO2 and repels mosquitoes away from your property. Additionally, we don’t sell treatments or the 21-day service schedule (the industry default) because that simply doesn’t work. Combining our MPB and select control materials, along with a flexible spray schedule returning every 10 to 17 days, puts us at the forefront of residential mosquito control. 

MASK

Since mosquitoes are attracted to your breathing, we use our proprietary Mosquito Protection Blend to mask the CO2 you are exhaling. This approach makes it near impossible for the mosquitoes to find you, forcing them to seek another food source.

REPEL

Our blend of all-natural oils also irritates the mosquitoes, driving them to neighboring properties. These all-natural oils create a vertical barrier, and through regular visits and applications, prevents mosquitoes and ticks from entering your yard.

KILL

We kill mosquitoes by using select control products. Through our our own FlexBlend Technology, we know what, how much and when to apply these products—a process we don’t take lightly. We use as little of these products as necessary, depending on weather and mosquito populations, while balancing the need to protect your yard from the harmful diseases these mosquitoes carry.

Additionally, we recognized the importance of understanding mosquito biology and behavior as it relates to effective backyard mosquito control. We educate our technicians to think like a mosquito and evaluate properties to identify problem areas. This, along with specialized equipment and precise spraying techniques, has delivered extraordinary results. At Mosquito Shield, we will never stop testing and refining our products, our approach to advertising and marketing, and our development of resources to help each business investment run efficiently and profitably.

TRAINING & SUPPORT

We stand behind every franchise, providing the hands-on-training, market-tested resources, and ongoing support to help you hit the ground running.

HANDS-ON TRAINING & SUPPORT

Our Training and Support Program is the foundation upon which we've built the success of the Mosquito Shield business. Each franchisee will receive up to one week of in-depth coaching at our corporate facilities, including breakout sessions at our partner sites.

An experienced corporate trainer will visit your location to review office procedures, set-up shop and operations, vehicle inspection (inside & out) and technician observation and instruction. Our trainers will ride along with each franchisee on service calls to answer questions, provide practical advice, and reinforce the lessons learned from our training curriculum.

Our full suite of customized tools and support services enable you to manage your books and close sales with less effort and staffing, so you can focus on growing your business and keeping your customers happy.

COLLABORATION & TEAMWORK

Every component of the Mosquito Shield franchise system has been designed to maximize efficiency and make it easier for you to quickly acquire, serve, and satisfy your customers.

In addition to our proprietary methodology and tools, Mosquito Shield also provides a comprehensive platform of resources and support to prepare franchisees for launch, empower them to run their ongoing operations, and take any guess-work out of the equation.

Throughout the year, Mosquito Shield hosts company-sponsored events for franchisee recognition and awards, team-building events, and get-aways.

CUSTOMIZED TOOLS & DIGITAL RESOURCES

In addition to our training program, Mosquito Shield also provides a full digital suite of tools and resources.

Our digital operating platform includes a digital library containing all operational materials, tutorials and training videos, and a forum to engage with other franchisees to discuss best practices. It also reduces your overhead by integrating your sales and delivery data streams into one paperless system for transaction management. Not only does our software track all incoming sales from the phone and internet, it also communicates with the mobile technology in your service vehicle to monitor the completion of service on customer properties.

Every Mosquito Shield van is a mobile office, with an in-vehicle tablet for managing routes and customer visits. Your tablet will automatically connect to our routing software. This dynamic system tracks sales, plans your daily routes based on customer locations, provides GPS navigation, and enables you to notify your customer of their completed service from your vehicle. Best of all, when you arrive at each stop, your in-vehicle tablet will display customer information and any service notes pertaining to that specific property.

From our custom “rapid-refill” tank setup to the storage and access to supplies and equipment, even the physical configuration of the cargo area in each Mosquito Shield service vehicle was designed for maximum efficiency.

Your capital investment comes packed with robust support functions to help your new business succeed.

Marketing

DATA-RICH HISTORY

First and foremost we are a mosquito control company and have been doing this longer than anyone in the industry. We often say that the most important thing about our history is that we have one. We have invested over 19 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars, in a thorough scientific analysis of our customer data, to develop detailed profiles of the homeowners who buy our service, year-over-year. This 19 years of data, coupled with the technology now available, allows us to target exactly who we are looking for. Marketing plans are created with both digital and traditional elements that help remove the guesswork for our franchisees.

SMART TARGETING

At Mosquito Shield, our corporate marketing team relentlessly zeroes in on the smartest, most effective marketing and advertising efforts. Custom strategic plans are built to be cost-effective but also localized to the needs of the franchisees local community. We also closely monitor the transaction data throughout the buying season and review analytics to identify trends related to timing, seasonal weather conditions, mosquito populations, and other factors. There is an on-going collaboration and in-season weekly analysis to optimize the efficacy of all marketing efforts. We also understand that our franchisees are the ones living in the communities we are marketing to and we value that local knowledge. While we leverage 19 years of best practices, at no time do we believe in a one-size fits all approach to marketing.

TRANSPARENT ACCESS

Each franchisee will receive access to our digital marketing portal, which contains corporate-approved templates for marketing and advertising, access to our brand standards, colors, fonts, logos and much more.  

From customer marketing strategies to our business management platform and mobile technology systems, our focus is on giving each Mosquito Shield franchisee the tools they need to grow their new business.
