In volatile economic times, few industries offer the stability and growth potential of pest control franchising. As an essential service, pest management continues to thrive even during downturns—and Complete Pest Solutions franchising stands out with its full-spectrum services, proven business model, and support-rich franchise system.

1. Essential Service That Never Pauses

Pest problems don’t stop for recessions—or pandemics. From bed bugs to rodents, flying pests to wildlife intrusions, pest issues persist regardless of economic conditions. As an essential business, Complete Pest Solutions franchises remained operational and even expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic 

2. Comprehensive Pest and Wildlife Solutions

Many companies specialize in just one area—mosquito control or termite treatment. Complete Pest Solutions, however, offers an all-encompassing approach. Their services cover:

• Crawling pests: bed bugs, ants, roaches, spiders, termites
• Flying pests: bees, hornets, wasps, mosquitoes, flies, gnats
• Rodents & wildlife: mice, rats, raccoons, squirrels, bats, birds
• Sanitation and odor removal services 

This breadth lets franchisees capture more revenue streams from a single franchise—truly “owning two businesses for the price of one” 

3. Low Investment, High Support, Quick ROI

Franchise investment figures vary slightly depending on the source, but the consensus is clear: Complete Pest Solutions franchising is affordable and lean:

• Liquid capital: $30,000–$50,000
• Total investment: $70,200–$149,950 (Other sources estimate ~$87,500)
• Franchise fee: $50,000–$60,000
• Royalties: ~6%
• Advertising fund: ~3% 

This lean setup—often home-based with minimal overhead and no need for a storefront—means franchisees can achieve fast returns on investment. There’s even a veterans discount—50% off the franchise fee in some listings or up to 15% in others.

4. Robust Training & Marketing Support

Franchisees aren’t left to figure it out on their own. Complete Pest Solutions delivers:

• Comprehensive training totaling ~184 hours—covering field operations, software tools, and territory-specific execution.
• Structured onboarding: discovery, review of disclosure documents, mandatory waiting period, then sign, train, and launch.
• Ongoing support in marketing, sales, business development, and contract acquisition via corporate experts.

5. Resilient, Proven Track Record

Founded in 2008, Complete Pest Solutions emerged during the financial crisis and rose from a struggling location to profitability within months. They expanded through challenging periods, including a 2012 fire and the COVID-19 pandemic—during which revenue grew by over 80% from Q1 2020 to Q1 2021. This resilience is a hallmark advantage for franchise owners.

6. Strategic Territory Expansion & Growth

Franchisees can scale by acquiring multiple territories, which can be purchased at economy pricing (each additional territory is half the cost of the first when based on populations of ~250,000). Available markets include Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Nashville, Charlotte, Austin, Phoenix, Miami, and more. This approach accelerates market presence and profitability.
