## Story

Mosquito Shield helps customers in over 350 territories enjoy their outdoor spaces. Established in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, in 2001, Mosquito Shield has offered franchises since 2013. Mosquito Shield is part of the Five Star Franchising platform of brands.

Fastest Growing Franchises, one of Entrepreneur’s most popular annual rankings, introduces potential franchise owners to the companies that are leveraging their ability to scale fast across the U.S. and Canada. The 2023 rankings are based on the net total new franchise units added between July 2021 and July 2022, as verified by Entrepreneur. More than 1,300 franchisors submitted information for the 2023 Fastest Growing Franchises ranking.

Mosquito Shield’s high ranking among the fast-growing franchises matches the company’s outstanding performance in other recent Entrepreneur rankings. Mosquito Shield ranks #1 among pest control franchises, #14 among Top Franchises for Less Than $100K, and #144 overall on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list of top franchises.

“Recognition from respected independent organizations such as Entrepreneur confirms that our vision and strategy provide powerful return for our franchisors and their franchise owners,” said J. Andrew Mengason, chief growth officer for Five Star Franchising.

Mosquito Shield combines an innovative proprietary blend of natural oils and select control products with a responsive spraying schedule designed around real-time pest population analysis and weather conditions to deliver the best results in the industry.
