# Mosquito Shield Ranked by Entrepreneur Magazine

**TL;DR:** Mosquito Shield has been ranked by Entrepreneur Magazine for the second consecutive year, and was also named one of the Top 150 Brands for Multi-Unit Owners. The ranking is based on factors such as franchisee support, brand strength, and financial stability.

## Story

The ranking comes on the heels of being named to Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® earlier this year.

“Being named to this list is a testament to the continual evolution of Mosquito Shield as the go-to brand in the pest control industry,” said Michael Moorhouse, President of Mosquito Shield.

Mosquito Shield was also named one of the Top 150 Brands for Multi-Unit Owners by Entrepreneur.

To determine the top brands for multi-unit ownership, Entrepreneur asked franchisors a series of questions: Do they offer discounts to franchisees purchasing multiple units? What percentage of their franchisees own multiple units? What percentage of their brand’s total units are owned by multi-unit franchisees? What is the average number of units owned by each franchisee? And finally, do they only sell multiple units or master licenses?

Entrepreneur also factored in each company’s Franchise 500® score, which is based on an analysis of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial stability.

“Being seen as one of the top brands for multi-unit ownership not only establishes Mosquito Shield as one of the top franchises, but it also showcases its importance within both the franchise and pest control landscape,” said J. Andrew Mengason, Chief Growth Officer for Five Star Franchising.

Mosquito Shield combines an innovative proprietary blend of natural oils and select control products with a responsive spraying schedule designed around real-time pest population analysis and weather conditions to deliver the best results in the industry.
