FAQ: Mosquito Joe Franchise Ownership
-
Do I need to have industry experience?
No. We’re looking for leaders who have some experience or ability in business, but no prior home services or pest control experience is necessary. Our franchise owners have relationship and team-building experience and the ability to be the face of the business from a sales and marketing perspective.
-
How much money do I need to start?
The estimated Initial Investment range is $151,155-$193,075, which includes the Initial Franchise Fee of $42,500. Please see our What’s The Cost? page, and refer to Item 7 in the 2025 Mosquito Joe Franchise Disclosure Document for additional details. Talk to a franchise expert to learn about financing opportunities.
-
Why should I franchise a pest control business instead of starting my own?
Customers need to trust the company coming to their properties. A franchise gives you immediate brand recognition, something independent shops often spend years trying to build. And behind that trusted name comes comprehensive training, technical expertise, and ongoing support, so you’re confident in every service you deliver. With a franchise, you start your business with both the reputation and the knowledge you need to succeed from day one.
-
How will Mosquito Joe and Neighborly help me find employees?
We provide tools to help you find service pros. Neighborly brand franchises get around 30,000 applicants a month, with each posted job getting anywhere from five to 60 applicants, depending on the brand.
-
As an owner, will I have training throughout this process?
Extensive business operations and systems training are outlined in the Franchise Development Document (FDD). Training in pest control itself is not provided for you or your team members, but we can help guide you to the resources you may need.
-
Will I have marketing support for my business?
Yes! Marketing support comes in various forms, from marketing collateral to a localized website. Plus, we provide you with a custom marketing plan, marketing playbooks, and coaching to get you started toward achieving your goals.
