Pest control franchises promise recurring revenue from homeowners who can't ignore creepy crawlies, and Clear Pest Pros brings a polished system backed by a powerhouse parent company. Item 19 delivers actual earnings data from operating units, while a sparse SBA loan record raises questions about scale. Does this young brand's trajectory signal steady growth or a niche player struggling to expand?
Financials from the 2025 FDD paint a mid-tier entry picture: franchise fee of $35,000 with total investment ranging $121,558-$233,680, suitable for startups or conversions in protected territories targeting homes over $150K in $60K+ income areas. Ongoing fees hit hard at 7% royalty, 2% brand/ad fund, plus fixed $1,100 monthly for technology ($350) and software ($750)—that's over $13K yearly just in tech. Item 19 shines with average gross revenue of $219,895 across units, but the reported EBITDA margin of 0% screams caution: at those sales, owners break even before owner salary, implying razor-thin profits after fees and labor in a service-heavy model.
System health shows franchising since 2017 under BELFOR Franchise Group, with 15 projected new units signaling expansion ambition but no total unit count disclosed, suggesting a small footprint. Just one SBA loan on record averaging $523,000 hints at limited financing activity and possibly cautious lender interest. For investors, the lowish entry cost appeals versus national pest giants, yet 0% margins and modest growth project risk breakeven operations without aggressive scaling—ideal for hands-on operators in high-demand suburbs, but a pass for passive income seekers.
