Pestmaster Services to Open in Sarasota, Florida on March 1, 2022

Pestmaster Services, a specialty pest control franchise backed by multi-brand home services franchisor Threshold Brands, will soon open a new territory in Sarasota, Florida, furthering the brand’s rapidly expanding footprint. The new location will open at 8772 South Tamiami Trail on March 1, 2022, led by experienced franchisees Kelly and Eric Ribeiro.

“Pest control is an essential service that people need within their communities,” said Eric. “A lot has happened in the world, including a recession and a pandemic, but these businesses survive because the need for these services will never go away. Home services require care and trust. Sarasota deserves the customer care and positive company culture our brand offers, and we want residents here to enjoy life in a safe, healthy way.”

Operating for more than four decades, Pestmaster Services has grown into a 65+ unit national pest control franchise and established itself as a leader in the $18.3 billion industry that is only continuing to grow. In 2020, approximately 48% of U.S. homeowners with a household income of $75,000+ reported using professional pest control services in the past year, a spike from 18% that was reported in 2001. And Pestmaster’s own growth is outpacing the industry at large.

In addition to their Pestmaster Services franchise, the Ribeiros also own several MaidPro locations in the Baltimore area. Now, as experienced franchise owners who have proven their ability to launch a thriving brand, the couple is anxious to bring Pestmaster to their Sarasota community to meet the growing demand for pest control services.

“We are thrilled to see how quickly our brands have taken off in new territories,” said R. Scott Sutton, the chief growth officer of Threshold Brands. “The Ribeiros are the perfect people to bring Pestmaster to Sarasota, and they are poised for continued growth in their community.”

Pestmaster Services offers both residential and commercial services in addition to vegetation management and bed bug, mosquito, rodent and termite control. Focusing on “pest management with environmentality,” Pestmaster provides the most effective pest management services while remaining eco-friendly.
