Values & History
The FlyFoe brand was founded in 2017 by pest control specialist Mark Kushinsky in Boston, MA. Realizing that typical run-of-the-mill pest control just wasn't getting the job done, Mark began a vigorous campaign of research, coordinating with top entomologists around the country to seek improved methods and better results. The FlyFoe vision is simple: backyard barbecues, pool parties, birthday gatherings and summer celebrations, all without the buzz, bite, itch, or ouch. The days of hiring overpriced and overcomplicated pest control services for mediocre results are over.
Industry Performance
Total US revenue in the pest control industry reached $16 billion in 2019, with the number of businesses in operation jumping to 27,410. Annual growth averaged 4.3% from 2014 to 2019, with employment in the industry reaching 134, 291. The market size of the pest control industry within the US increased faster than the economy overall in 2019, with an average annual market size growth of 0.1% expected.
Training & Support
Initial training includes the assignment of a personal training coach, a week of on-site training at FlyFoe headquarters in Boston, multiple workshops, webinars, and more. Franchise owners receive direct support from home office staff and the community of franchise owners, and the technology necessary to power operations via our proprietary web-based business management software, which includes route optimization, automated billing, customer service management utilities, and more.
