## Story

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (PRWEB) March 08, 2021 - Mosquito Shield Franchise Corporation is expanding its presence in Florida with the launch of its location in Jacksonville. This brings the business’ franchise total in Florida to seven.

Of the company’s recent expansion, Mosquito Shield VP Michael Moorhouse said, “Residential mosquito and tick control is a fast-growing business sector, and as the first company in this space over 20 years ago, we have the foundation to be extremely well-positioned for growth.”

Mosquito Shield spent over a decade refining its formulas and application methods from its Massachusetts headquarters before introducing a franchise model for local entrepreneurs in 2013.

“Our methodical approach to growth has set us up well for the impact of the COVID pandemic,” said Moorhouse, “While many businesses have struggled because of stay-at-home orders, such conditions have created a booming market for our services because people are left to enjoy the outdoors from their own backyards, rather than on vacation or at restaurants or large gatherings. With folks investing more to make their yards leisure-time destinations, the opportunity for Mosquito Shield to expand into new markets has exploded and we are experiencing an active period of growth as a result. The Jacksonville area is an obvious area to focus on given its population and the desire of residents to get outdoors and take advantage of the region’s gorgeous weather as much as possible.”

Owner Kim McDaniel moved to Florida 4 years ago and says, “Building our Mosquito Shield business in Jacksonville will be how we put down roots and provide service and value for our customers and our community.” She is committed to meeting and exceeding customers’ expectations and becoming the most trusted and recognized solution for mosquito and tick control in the area.
