Abstract

Demand for mosquito control has grown in recent years, and the setup heading into spring has many service providers feeling upbeat. "We had a lot of mosquito activity up here last year and had more rain than we'd had in probably 30 years," Laramee says. " Building awareness The potential of mosquitoes spreading disease, or even just becoming a nuisance, is all some mosquito control professionals need when selling their services. "More people are coming to realize that mosquito control services are even an option," says Brandon Sheppard, a Weed Man and Mosquito Hero sub-franchisor and franchisee in the Southeast. "With the ongoing pandemic, the best way for people to gather with minimal risk is outside. Mosquito control provides an effective way for people to enjoy their property more, but also better protect the health of their family and pets." On the topic of health, Sheppard says the mosquito control industry has also gotten a boost from the veterinary industry. "Especially with people staying home more nowadays, having backyard firepit parties and the kids playing on the Slip 'N Slide, I think a variety of people are going to see the value in hiring a mosquito service. " As the market for mosquito control has grown, so has the number of service providers.
