Overview
About Pest Hunters - Mosquito Hunters & Humbug Holiday Lighting
Founded in 2013, Mosquito Hunters & Humbug Holiday Lighting is a pest control and holiday lighting franchise serving communities across the country.
The company believes that everyone deserves a mosquito-free summer, and uses all-natural products to keep the pests at bay. Allowing you to enjoy the comfort of your backyard is not Mosquito Hunters' only motivation for what they do. With the Zika virus and other mosquito-transmitted diseases, health concerns over these and other pests are a very real thing.
Using synthetic pyrethrins (chrysanthemum derivatives), Mosquito Hunters conducts a multi-week yard treatment. If within the 21 days following the treatment a client is not satisfied, they may receive a respray for free. As a franchisee, you’ll spray residences, commercial spaces, and municipal areas. To bring further value to customers, Mosquito Hunters now offers an upgraded tick and flea package, a perimeter pest program, rodent control, and mosquito stations to provide even better results. Mosquito Hunters has also recently introduced holiday lighting services, under the brand name Humbug Holiday Lighting.
