## Story

Mosquito Joe , a pest control service based out of Norfolk, Va., is targeting Spartanburg and the Upstate for its latest expansion plans in South Carolina.

According to Brian Garrison, the chief operating officer of Mosquito Joe, the service is hoping to open up five locations in the area by next spring.

After a season tending to the concerns caused by Zika and West Nile, Mosquito Joe is zeroing in on the Upstate for its familial environment and outdoorsy communities. The brand is in the process of identifying a partner at the local level to begin its development process.
