Upgrade
Patio Patrol is a residential outdoor pest control franchise that was founded in 2017 in Boston, Massachusetts. It is headquartered in Boston and began franchising in 2018. The brand was acquired by Threshold Brands in 2020, expanding its reach and support capabilities for franchisees.
The company specializes in mosquito, flea, and tick control services. Franchisees inspect customers' yards, apply targeted treatments, and offer follow-up reapplications at no additional charge. Additional services such as gutter cleaning, screen repair, and seasonal yard work are often offered to help diversify income.
Patio Patrol stands out by focusing on the source of pest problems rather than simply applying broad-spectrum sprays. The franchise emphasizes customer relationships, recurring service models, and personalized care.
