Franchise Options – Pest Control

  1. Choose to purchase an existing pest control franchise business (with client base) if available
  2. Or start your own new pest control franchise business in your area. Our packages are customised and depend on your
  • Unique business needs
  • Location
  • Size of the target market in your area
  • Your experience in pest management
  • Your financial resources

We do not have one set price as each new franchisee will have unique circumstances. You will benefit more from only paying for what you need to operate in a certain area. Certain pests are more prolific in certain areas and so your package needs to be tailored for you to receive the best possible benefit from Service Master Head Office.

Why a Pest Control Franchise?

  • Pest control is a necessary service – not a luxury. Our cities are dirtier, our climate is warmer and pests are breeding more prolifically than ever before.
  • When termites or wood borer are literally eating your built in cupboards, wooden floors and roof timbers from inside out, specialised treatment is not an option but a necessity. When bed bugs are biting you at night or ants are crawling all over your kitchen… Service Master Pest Services will always be in demand.
  • This is a good business to be in during tough times as it qualifies as a critical or essential service. People NEED pest control services. Cockroach and rodent infestations are at epidemic levels in many of our cities and towns.
  • Monthly contracts to undertake commercial pest services are the industry norm which provides regular and reliable ‘bread and butter’ income.
  • Local municipalities legislate that certain types of businesses must implement regular pest services (such as hotels, restaurants, food production factories, food storage warehousing, retail outlets etc) Pest Control services are here to stay.
