Critter Control vs Hydrex Franchise Comparison

Critter Control was incorporated in 1986 to offer businesses and homeowners a variety of wildlife control services. These services include repairing damage made by the animal and performing pest management such as screening vents, installing chimney caps and closing entry holes to make sure animals can't come back. The company also provides on-call services for cities that do not have their own animal control agencies.

Depending on the size of the territory in which your franchise is located, the initial franchise fee will be between $54,875 and $91,900, which may be discounted if you operated a wildlife and/or pest control business (other than under a Critter Control franchise agreement) prior to the signing of the franchise agreement. The estimated initial investment to begin operation of a Critter Control Franchise ranges from $70,900 to $199,475. 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 one or both of our affiliates Trutech, LLC and/or Critter Control Operations, Inc., that may be in the territory assigned to you and that you are required to purchase from such affiliate, which may cost in excess of $250,000. Of your estimated initial investment, between $54,875 and $91,900, plus the cost of purchasing such customer contracts, is payable to the franchisor.

After 70 years, we like to think we’ve learned a thing or two about building and managing a pest control company. And with that kind of experience, we’re confident in our ability to show our franchisees exactly how to execute each aspect of their Hydrex business. From marketing and operations to human resources and customer service, we have systems, support and training. For those who understand the immense opportunity in the pest control industry, with a business model that allows you to build a regular, recurring revenue stream, it’s important to realize that pest control is more than just bugs and chemicals. While all our technicians are licensed pest management providers, our franchisees joined the Hydrex team because they understood that there is a vast difference between learning how to perform competent pest control services and building a thriving pest control business.
