    About MosquitoNix

    MosquitoNix franchises are great businesses. We have spent several years perfecting and proving our business model in several markets around the country. Profitability may be a key factor in our franchise partner's success, but customer service and relationships are what drives us.MosquitoNix 01 We have an incredible 97% customer retention rate. With over 20,000 systems installed we are very proud that our customers choose to renew their mosquito control programs year-after-year. We've been able to achieve this by providing first-class training and follow-up support to our franchise operators and the staff on the front lines. Recently, we've opened up new franchise opportunities in a variety of markets. Our focus is on business owners who already have a successful outdoor services company. We have found that by adding a MosquitoNix franchise alongside the existing business, you can increase your sales and profits without adding any NEW customers. And if you add new customers, the potential skyrockets.

    Depending on the size of the territory in which your franchise is located, the initial franchise fee will be between $39,000 and $100,000, which may be discounted if you elect, and the franchisor agrees to, a term for your franchise agreement less than the standard terms set forth in Exhibit 7 or if you operated a pest or termite control business (other than under an Orkin franchise agreement) prior to the signing of the franchise agreement. The estimated initial investment to begin operation of an Orkin Franchise ranges from $84,975 to $231,200. This sum does not include the rent for the business location or other real estate costs or the costs of purchasing any existing customer contracts of the franchisor’s affiliate Orkin, LLC that may be in the territory assigned to you and that you are required to purchase from Orkin, LLC, which may cost in excess of $250,000. Of your estimated initial investment, between $39,000 and $100,000, plus the cost of purchasing such customer contracts, is payable to the franchisor.
