## Story

According to The Wilson Times, Mosquito Joe is set to roll into town with mosquito prevention on wheels. Franchisee Glenn Wiley has experienced the bad buggy season with his own family locally, and was inspired to work with Mosquito Joe by a desire to make the outdoors a more fun place to play.

“When I grew up, I lived outside. I stress the same with my kids, but when they get up from the bugs, they want to come inside,” Wiley told The Wilson Times. “I want to make outside fun again, so families can grill together or hang out by the pool. I want them to be able to enjoy being outside as a family again.”
