Mosquito Shield was founded in September of 2001 in response to the absence of an effective residential mosquito control service and the inadequacy of control products such as body sprays, candles and mosquito magnets. Now, over 1 million treatments and over 330 franchise locations later, Mosquito Shield’s proprietary control products and specialized spray techniques keep tens of thousands of American homes mosquito- and tick-free every year.
Its vector-trained technicians treat common-use areas such as pools, decks, patios and swing sets while paying special attention to where mosquitos and ticks breed and congregate. Its proprietary products and equipment deliver the most effective mosquito and tick control in the industry — highlighted by a 84 percent customer-retention rate year over year. With over 20 years spent developing its own blend, the company has created a three-pronged approach that kills mosquitos, masks CO2 (what attracts mosquitoes), and repels them away from customers’ properties. In March of 2022, Mosquito Shield was acquired by Five Star Franchising, an innovative service-based franchise platform company. It is still the same popular brand, but can now offer franchisees enhanced technology, branding, marketing, support and more. Mosquito Shield has awarded over 320 territories and was recently ranked by Entrepreneur as one of the Top Home-Based & Mobile Franchises and voted as a top franchise for women, despite this industry typically viewed as male dominated. It is actively looking for franchise candidates in Nashville and Chattanooga Tenn., Birmingham, Ala., Columbia, S.C., New Orleans and the Florida Panhandle.
