There is a variety of mosquito and Pest Control franchises available. In today’s article, we will compare those franchises by different metrics like payback period, number of stores, etc.
Just as a rough comparison metric, we will give 5 points to the company that ranks the highest and 1 to the one with the lowest rank and compare at the end.
Mosquito Hunters currently has 132 locations operating. The company boasts impressive growth considering that at the start of 2019, it had only 12 franchises. That is a growth rate of 1000%.
Mosquito Squad has 222 franchises only. At the start of 2019, it had 235, as a comparison. That is a decline of 5.5%.
Mosquito Shield has also expanded to 87 franchised locations at the end of 2020. This is up from the 57 that they had at the start of 2018. This amounts to a growth rate of approximately 52%.
Mosquito Mike, however, does not have any franchises yet. This is because the company only started offering franchises at the end of 2020.
Mosquito Joe is the company with the most number of franchises at 372. It has also grown from the 286 locations it had at the start of 2019. At a growth rate of 30%, this is also pretty impressive.
All considered, if we are looking at the best franchise by the most number of locations, Mosquito Joe is the most popular.
Average Unit Volume

We are not comparing Mosquito Hunters in this part because they have a highly complex system of providing data about their franchises, which will not align with the others.
Mosquito Joe is at the top this round with almost $30 million in earnings. That is more than twice what the next franchise makes.
Payback Period
Last, let’s look at the payback period. We’re going to assume a standard profit margin of 15% for comparison purposes but the individual profit margins for the companies might differ.
We will not be looking at Mosquito Hunters because the data provided is very cryptic and hard ot compile.
