How Much Does a Mosquito Squad Plus Franchise Cost? 2026 Investment and Fees

Mosquito Squad Plus has built its business around helping homeowners reclaim their outdoor spaces through recurring mosquito, tick and pest control services. Its home-based operating model helps keep startup costs lower than many retail franchise concepts, with the 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) estimating an initial investment of $162,380 to $220,375.

“When someone invests in Mosquito Squad Plus, they're investing in a business that's supported well beyond opening day,” said Jef Flournoy, brand president. “We provide training, technology, marketing resources and ongoing coaching because we want franchise owners to have the systems and support they need to build a strong, sustainable business in their local market.”

Initial investment costs

Here’s a closer look at the required costs and why they support a business built for long-term growth.

The largest portion of the investment is working capital, with the 2026 FDD recommending between $83,855 and $116,805 to help franchisees cover operating expenses during their first 12 months in business. The standard franchise fee is $50,000, while additional startup costs include vehicle outfitting, business equipment, insurance, software and training expenses.

Item 7 of the 2026 FDD shows that the estimated investment includes:

The base initial franchise fee is $50,000 for a Standard Territory, one with a population of 350,000 to 500,000, according to Item 5 of the 2026 FDD. Mosquito Squad may charge an additional fee for larger populations of $0.10 per person over 500,000.

The company also offers several incentive programs that can reduce the initial franchise fee, including:

• A 30% franchise fee discount for veterans and active-duty military personnel.

• A $5,000 discount for minority-owned, women-owned and LGBTQ-owned businesses.

• Reduced franchise fees for existing franchisees within the Authority Brands family.

Ongoing fees and support

After opening, franchisees pay ongoing fees that support the brand's operations, technology and marketing initiatives. Beginning in year two, franchisees pay the greater of a minimum monthly royalty or a percentage of gross revenue. Item 6 of the 2026 FDD outlines the following ongoing fees:

Mosquito Squad Plus’ initial investment covers much more than equipment and startup costs. Franchisees receive comprehensive training covering sales, customer service, service protocols, marketing and daily operations through a combination of virtual instruction and hands-on training.

After opening, owners receive ongoing coaching from dedicated franchise business consultants along with access to the Authority Brands support network. The company also provides operational technology designed to help franchisees run their businesses efficiently, including CRM software, scheduling and routing platforms, marketing tools and centralized call center support that assists with customer inquiries and appointment scheduling.

To help franchisees get started, Mosquito Squad Plus offers in-house financing for the initial franchise fee to qualified owners. The company also connects prospective owners with third-party financing sources that may assist with funding vehicles, equipment and other startup expenses.

Mosquito Squad Plus’ home-based model eliminates the expense of a traditional storefront while allowing franchisees to build a customer base through recurring seasonal services. With more than 240 locations and support from Authority Brands, the company has established a system that many entrepreneurs may find attractive as they evaluate opportunities in the home services sector.

Prospective franchisees should review the 2026 FDD, understand the startup and ongoing costs, and speak with current owners to learn more.
