## Story

Mosquitoes in Florida breed year round, causing major aggravation to those who moved therei to enjoy the warm weather. A couple facing that exact problem, Karla and Sean Bloom, decided to turn that aggravation into a career by opening a new Mosquito Joe franchise in Homestead.

Karla was hoping to use her MBA to start a business with Sean and decided franchises were a great option as first-time business owners. They wanted to find a franchise that was a solid industry investment – not a fad they knew was going to die out within a few years. After reading the material on Mosquito Joe, the couple decided the company had the solid background they were looking for and they went for it.

“It was a perfect fit for us,” Karla told the South Dade News Leader.

Not only is the couple helping control the mosquito population but also mosquito-borne illnesses that have the potential to create an outbreak.
