Data Based On: 207 Territories that were in operation for the entire 2024 fiscal year (from Table 1).

* Average gross revenue for franchised units was calculated as a weighted average using data from Table 1 (Page 1): (52 units * $1,123,247 + 52 units * $467,598 + 51 units * $233,445 + 52 units * $108,907) = $100,292,804 total aggregate revenue. Total territories = 52 + 52 + 51 + 52 = 207. Average gross revenue = $100,292,804 / 207 = $484,506.30. Profit range (best_guess_profit_low, best_guess_profit_high) is estimated based on the 'Net Ordinary Income' percentage (25.9%) reported for company-owned territories in Table 7 (Page 6). A conservative range of 20% to 30% of the franchised average gross revenue was applied as a proxy. Estimated best_guess_profit_low = 0.20 * $484,506.30 = $96,901.26. Estimated best_guess_profit_high = 0.30 * $484,506.30 = $145,351.89. No explicit gross profit, net income, net profit, or EBITDA figures were provided for franchised units in the document.

MOSQUITO SQUAD Franchise Analysis

Ever wonder if a seasonal pest control business can deliver year-round financial stability? Mosquito Squad's FDD teases impressive Item 19 revenue disclosures that highlight a wide performance spread among franchisees, alongside a track record of steady expansion and surprisingly resilient SBA financing. But with territories tied to population and a mix of residential-commercial revenue, does the data back up the buzz—or reveal hidden stings?

Item 7 details the $162,380-$220,375 initial investment, covering the $50,000 franchise fee, vehicles, equipment for misting systems and barrier treatments, inventory, and three months' operating capital. Ongoing fees include a tiered royalty—10% on first $250K gross revenue, dropping to 9% up to $500K and 8% after—plus minimums, $150-$450/mo brand fund, $350/mo website, and $60/mo tech fee. Item 19 shines with average gross revenue of $484,506 and median $317,881 from 2024 data, translating to estimated profits of $96,901-$145,352 after expenses, making top performers quite lucrative in pest-prone markets.

System health looks solid: 226 franchise locations grew 4% from 217 in 2023, with 15 corporates, just 3 non-renewals, 12 transfers, and 16 projected new units. SBA data impresses—37 loans averaging $278,078 with only 2.7% default rate—signaling lender confidence since franchising began in 2009 under Authority Brands. For buyers eyeing home services, this points to a scalable model with strong support, though median revenues suggest picking a high-population territory is key to hitting averages.
