Mosquito Authority | 5 Questions to Ask Before Investing in a Seasonal Business

Thinking about opening a seasonal business? There are several pros and cons to consider. Here are the five essential questions you should ask before investing to ensure you find the right fit. 1. Is the Peak Season a Good Time for You?

A business that’s geared toward a particular season can be great for parents with kids or those with obligations at certain times of the year. So, when considering investing in one, assess what the season includes. For example, a summer business wouldn’t be good if you’re a parent who takes care of the kids during summer break. Or maybe you coach basketball, so your time is limited during winter. You will want to be able to give your full attention to your business during its peak season.

Secondly, ask yourself if you can manage the stress of peak season. Some businesses, like a boutique, might pick up a little more during holidays, but their hours never change. But for many, you have four to eight months of hyper-focusing on …

Mosquito Authority | Why Exterminator Franchises are a Big Business Opportunity for 2023

The U.S. pest control services industry grew at a rate of 4.7% over the past decade, and numbers are expected to climb this year. Straits Research noted that the value of the global pest control market was worth $22.1 billion in 2021. Furthermore, it’s forecasted to grow at 5.2% annually through 2030. While this is a global statistic, North America dominates the pest control industry.

Here’s what’s driving demand and why you should consider a pest control or exterminator franchise. Pests are a Fact of Life

Unfortunately, bugs are a part of our world and will likely never go extinct. More specifically, there are an estimated 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) insects alive at any given time. So, they’ll always be annoying and getting in places nobody wants to find them. This means there will ALWAYS be a demand for pest control businesses like exterminator franchises.

Studies show there have persistently been increased reports of bedbug…

Mosquito Authority Franchisee Success Stories

Read What Mosquito Authority Franchisees Have To Say

We made the commitment to invest in a franchise without the complete understanding of what was required to build a successful mosquito control business. We loved the concept of the service and felt we could deliver great value to our future customers. Frankly, we’ve worked very hard to build this into a successful business- and don’t want to give the impression that that a new franchisee can become an overnight success. However, if you asked us if we had the chance to do it over - would we make the investment again - our answer is yes - absolutely!

We are at 1100 customers and building; the tools, systems, marketing and support from HQ have leveled up every year. Because of those tools, systems and support, we can easily service our current customers and easily manage continued growth.
