Data Based On: 33 Pestmaster franchises operating 57 territories which reported Gross Sales for all 12 months in the Reporting Period ended December 31, 2025.

* The overall average gross revenue ($514,024) is explicitly stated in Section A. This value is consistent with the weighted average calculated from the average gross sales of each quartile (weighted by the number of franchises in each quartile): (8 franchises * $1,683,735 [First Quartile Avg] + 9 franchises * $234,691 [Second Quartile Avg] + 8 franchises * $114,220 [Third Quartile Avg] + 8 franchises * $58,366 [Fourth Quartile Avg]) / 33 total franchises = $514,023.85. All profit-related metrics (gross profit, net income, net profit, EBITDA, and estimated profit range) are null because the document explicitly states the figures reflect Gross Sales, not profits, and do not include costs of sales, operating expenses, or other expenses to determine net income or profit.

PESTMASTER Franchise Analysis

In the evergreen pest control sector, where bugs don't take vacations, PESTMASTER has carved a niche since 1991 by bundling structural pest, termite, weed control, and ag services under one roof. Their 2026 FDD's Item 19 drops revenue stats that spotlight a dramatic split between superstar locations and the pack, amid a 32% unit surge. Does this volatility signal opportunity or risk in a mature, seasonal market?

Financial entry demands a $42,500 franchise fee within Threshold Brands' system, with total startup ranging $92,850 to $208,600—covering vehicles, tech, inventory for residential, commercial, and government clients. Item 19 reveals average gross revenue of $514,024 across units, but the median lags at $148,210, underscoring how a handful of high-volume territories inflate the mean while most hover lower; no profit figures disclosed, leaving EBITDA estimates to FDD Item 19 context and operator skill. SBA financing backs this with 5 loans averaging $323,400, easing access for qualified buyers, though unspecified royalties and a $250/month vehicle wrap compliance fee add ongoing scrutiny.

PESTMASTER's momentum shines: 57 locations in 2024 ballooned 32% to 75 in 2025, with 17 projected new units and just 2 transfers signaling stability over churn. Three corporate spots anchor from Reno, NV, in a field battling Orkin-like giants. Prospective buyers must probe the revenue chasm's drivers—territory density, sales execution, seasonality—plus FDD Items 7/8 for unit-level economics and Item 20 for closure trends to gauge if they can join the outperformers.
