Mosquito Shield was founded in September of 2001 in response to the absence of an effective residential mosquito control service and the inadequacy of control products such as body sprays, candles and mosquito magnets. With millions of treatments and over 400 franchise locations later, Mosquito Shield’s proprietary control products and specialized spray techniques keep tens of thousands of American homes mosquito and tick-free every year. Mosquito Shield spent the next few years refining its customer acquisition and retention strategies, and taking a methodical approach to growth that led to the launch of its proprietary tick control service, Tick Shield, and special event service, Event Shield. The Mosquito Shield Franchise Corporation was launched in 2013 and has since developed into the leading franchise opportunity in this growing home services sector. By combining a great product with past experience as a franchisee, our founder and team established a franchise model that delivers a superior experience for both consumers and owners. In March of 2022, Mosquito Shield was acquired by Five Star Franchising, an innovative service-based franchise platform company. Five Star has a mission to ensure its brands are top performers in technology, marketing, branding, and people. With a franchisee-first approach to business, Five Star excels at ensuring local-market success for each of their franchisees. Tick Shield, Event Shield (one-time pre-event service for mosquitos and ticks), Perimeter Shield (spiders, ants and other pests) and Decorate with Lights (holiday lighting service) were launched to the entire franchise system as additional revenue streams.

Striping falls in line with paving, sealcoating, repairing, and other pavement services, but stands alone. Striping is typically the one service not provided by typical paving companies. These companies, as well as individual business customers, will seek out striping specialists like 1-800-STRIPER® to add the finishing touches to their projects. What’s more, we often see other striping companies move on from parking lots to work exclusively on roadways -- leaving a market gap for B2B striping services to be filled by our franchise owners. We don’t just draw lines. There’s an art to it, a skill. The services we offer go way beyond paint. We are building relationships in our communities by providing a quality service. Think of all the parking lots, structures, and garages you see each day driving around your town or city. Businesses, medical facilities, schools, churches, and more depend on safe, effective traffic flow. Professional stripers understand the need for a well-thought-out design to keep motorists and pedestrians moving and parking efficiently.
