5 Must-Know Facts About Pestmaster

Pestmaster, the 65-plus-unit pest management concept with over four decades of experience, has recently fully updated its branding and is stepping into its next chapter of growth. As the concept begins to incorporate even more residential and commercial clients alongside existing government contracts, it is working to fill out prime white space across the nation.

Four core service offerings are available to Pestmaster franchisees: pest management, rodent control, wildlife exclusion and vegetation management. Franchisees also have the opportunity to engage residential, commercial and government clients.

Pestmaster’s business model has been developed in a way that requires low overhead costs and minimal inventory. Because of this, franchise owners can recoup their original investment sooner and begin reinvesting in their business earlier in the timeline.

Once a franchise owner is successful in their first territory, they can use the same technology and vehicle to service additional territories. Therefore, the investment required to expand to second and third territories is far lower, further simplifying the growth process.

Pestmaster is committed to building an accepting, diverse franchise network. Prospective franchisees do not necessarily need experience in the pest management industry or as business owners. Instead, they should be coachable, excited to share and hear new perspectives and driven to see their business succeed.

While pest activity may decrease in the winter months, it rarely ever disappears fully, and many homeowners, commercial clients and governmental institutions receive scheduled treatments year-round. Because of this, the business is recession-resistant and provides franchisees with predictable revenue.

Support from the Pestmaster corporate team is available to franchisees in many modes.

After signing, franchisees attend five days of hands-on technical and franchise training at the corporate office. During the opening week, they receive on-site launch support.

Pestmaster also supports owners as they obtain a pest control license, hosts quarterly meetings with the corporate team and other franchisees and conducts regular technical training to make sure owners and teams are up to date on industry best practices.

A contracts department is also available to support owners as they pursue and negotiate government contracts. With a marketing coach, business coach and entomologist on the team, franchisees receive coaching and education to inform all sides of their business.
