About Mosquito Joe
A Mosquito Joe franchise ownership is about more than owning your own business. Mosquito Joe empowers franchisees to realize their personal and professional goals while making outside fun again for their communities, building relationships that last to the mutual benefit of everyone. Eliminating the nuisance and annoyance of fleas, ticks, and mosquitos is good for the entire community, and great for franchise owners because it improves their quality of life thanks to the ability to shut down for the winter offseason, making more time for family, vacations, and more — or to use that time to focus on marketing efforts geared toward business growth during the following season.
Values & History
Winner of numerous prestigious awards for service excellence and franchisee support, Mosquito Joe was founded in 2010. Opening up franchise opportunities three years later was a natural progression due to the wild success of the business and increased demand for mosquito control services. The brand's dedication to low-risk pest management techniques has helped it to become embraced by the Pest Environmental Stewardship Program established by the Environmental Protection Agency, and today there are over 400 franchise locations operating across North America, with more opening each year.
Industry Performance
The U.S. pest control industry grew to approximately $26.1 billion in 2025 and is projected to surpass $40 billion by the early 2030s. With over 60% of U.S. households utilizing pest control services, the industry remains resilient and positioned for continued expansion.
Purchasing a Mosquito Joe Franchise
The full range to open a Mosquito Joe Franchise can be anywhere between $115k-158k. They typically look for around $250k net worth and $50k liquid capital to get started.
Ideal Candidate & Qualifications
Prospective franchise owners should be energetic, driven to succeed, and open to new ideas and learning new things, with strong business acumen. Ideal candidates will enjoy working with and managing others. Solid communication and leadership skills are ideal. Knowing the importance of technology and the benefits of taking calculated risks are strong assets as well, as new owners will be in control of their own growth rates.
Training & Support
Each new franchisee receives rigorous training and access to a variety of additional support utilities and services to ensure continued success as they develop their business. Our training program takes place at Mosquito Joe Headquarters in Virginia Beach, VA at our very own MoJo University. Operation of all equipment and products, regulatory compliance measures, marketing strategies, and business operations and management are all covered. Additional marketing support through promotional materials and customized local campaigns along with a dedicated call center allow franchise owners to focus on the growth and administration aspects of their business.
