Training

The Mosquito Authority franchise provides a structured training program to help franchisees launch and operate their pest control business effectively. Here are the programs:

1. Pre-Opening Business Training: Within 60 days of signing the Franchise Agreement and obtaining all necessary licenses, franchisees, their designated business manager, and one additional person are required to attend training. This is conducted at the company’s headquarters in Hickory, North Carolina, or another designated location.
2. Brand Standards Manuals: Franchisees are loaned a comprehensive Brand Standards Manual, which includes around 244 pages of operational guidance. This manual is periodically updated and may be accessed electronically.

Territory Protection

The Mosquito Authority grants each franchisee a designated “Territory” in which they can operate their business using the brand’s marks and system. This territory is defined based on demographics, income, competition, and other factors, and franchisees are expected to stay within this boundary for service delivery.

As long as the franchisee remains in full compliance with the agreement, the franchisor will not authorize others to operate a similar business within that Territory. However, The Mosquito Authority franchise does not grant exclusive territorial rights.

The franchisor and its affiliates retain the right to operate or license similar businesses outside of the defined Territory, including Pest Authority businesses which may overlap in service scope.
