Veterans land at Mosquito Joe

Since its founding five years ago, Mosquito Joe has proved itself to be a successful franchise with a smart business model. Part of that smart model is its dedication and support of our nation’s veterans. The pest control company is a member of the International Franchise Association’s VetFran program and offers a discounted franchisee fee to military personnel.

This discount makes their franchise fee under $20,000.It’s not only the low franchise fee that has veterans choosing this brand - it’s the nature of the pest control industry itself. Veterans, as shown by their military service, want to give back to their communities.

Mosquito Joe provides them the opportunity to serve others in a fun, team-centered environment. Regardless of their military branch, many veterans are drawn to a career that’s more than just a desk job. For instance, in 2013, Bloomberg Businessweek spotlighted an Army Ranger who opened his own location in Richmond, Va.

The following year, GI Jobs highlighted a husband and wife team of Air Force veterans opening their own location in Fredericksburg, Va. Veterans’ natural leadership and critical thinking abilities make them successful Mosquito Joe franchisees. In fact, nearly one in five of the brand’s franchisees have served in the military.
