About Mosquito Squad

Mosquito Squad not only takes the sting out of the insects, but the initial franchise investment as well. Total start-up capital of generally under $60,000, which includes the initial franchise fee, will be needed for necessities such as a vehicle, initial inventory, tools, equipment and launch marketing. And for qualified candidates, up to half of the franchise fee may be financed. In addition, there are a number of discount offerings available - contact our team for details. This low initial commitment becomes even more appealing when combined with the relatively quick start-up period involved. In most cases you can hit the ground running within 30 days and begin seeing a return on your investment in the time it takes other franchise concepts to just begin laying groundwork. For Mosquito Squad to be the right franchise match for you, you will need: $15,000-$27,500 franchise fee + $20,000 - $35,000 capital for equipment and initial launch marketing.     Depending on your situation, additional income source to support you during your ramp-up season(s).
 Mosquito Squad is a pest control business that offers three different applications:
-Misting Systems
-Barrier Spraying
