How much does a Mosquito Shield franchise make?
Mosquito Shield is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The average revenue Mosquito Shield reports, what that figure does and doesn't include, and where it ranks against home services peers are in the full report. See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Mosquito Shield franchise profit vs. revenue
Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Mosquito Shield's 7% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Mosquito Shield franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Mosquito Shield franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets Mosquito Shield's disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.
Mosquito Shield lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Mosquito Shield. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
Mosquito Shield closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Mosquito Shield will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Mosquito Shield's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Mosquito Shield's latest tables show a growing franchised network. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Mosquito Shield's churn ranks against home services peers, are in the full report.
