Secure your spot in a market that’s all the buzz.

The Market

With Patio Patrol, a premium residential outdoor pest control company, you can leverage a low-overhead business model to provide in-demand services. Patio Patrol’s mosquito, flea, and tick management services sit within a $20 billion industry, and mosquito control alone is expected to exceed $1 billion by 2027. For many households, pest control is a non-negotiable. This leads to a high year-over-year customer retention rate and creates a recession and pandemic-resistant business.

Why Patio Patrol

Patio Patrol provides customer-focused, full-circle pest control to protect residents’ homes. To achieve this, the brand has established a low-overhead, streamlined operational model, hired an entomologist to provide continuing education, and built a leadership team with decades of home services and pest management experience.

Franchisees enjoy stable, recurring business thanks to:

Additional service offerings, including:
- Leaf Pickup
- Screen Repair
- Gutter Cleaning
Support from Patio Patrol’s parent franchisor, Threshold Brands, which provides:
- Additional learning opportunities
- National sales center support
- Marketing
- Personalized business coaching

Ideal Candidate

Patio Patrol has structured its franchisee onboarding and continuing support to allow any driven entrepreneur to see success with the concept. Prospective franchisees are not required to have previous experience in pest control or business ownership. Still, they should be coachable, a self-starter, driven to provide exceptional customer service, and willing to learn and adapt.

Type Of Training Provided	At Patio Patrol, franchisee training can start from the moment you sign the franchise agreement. In many cases, by the time someone signs a franchise agreement, they are well on their way to learning the ins and outs of the business. Patio Patrol's initial franchisee training is broken down into 3 sections. The first section is all the training you'll do prior to the official "training week". The second section is the week of on-site training that you'll do at Patio Patrol headquarters. And the third section is post training and follow-up during your first few months in business. Once the agreement is signed, you'll immediately be given access to our Intranet which serves as our collective knowledge base. You'll be assigned a personal training coach, who will guide you through the training process and initial business setup. There are usually 6-12 weeks from agreement signing to the training week. During that time you will get your truck(s) and equipment ready and attend workshops and training webinars to familiarize yourself with our software. The goal is to do as much training as we can before you come in for the on-site week. Then comes the on-site week, which is, on-site here at our Boston headquarters. Training is a full week and usually runs 8a to 5p. You'll receive hands on training from our local technicians, you'll meet and work with a number of our support teams like our National Sales Center, Marketing and Operations departments, and you'll have many meals with the founders and other executives. This is not only your time to learn how to run a Patio Patrol but also a great time to connect and get to know each other. After training you'll be ready to open your doors. Training doesn't stop there. Training is really a lifelong affair. Those first 90 days after a business are critical and we'll be there to help you every step of the way. At Patio Patrol, we don't train more than two new owners at a time. Many Franchisors put 4, 5, 10 or more franchisees into the same training session. They'll have all the reasons why training in larger groups is beneficial. Some will have you watch videos while at their headquarters. Others you won't even have but a cursory 10 minute meeting with the Founders...and that's if they are even around anymore. We are personal at Patio Patrol. And we take that very seriously.
