One Franchise, Two Revenue Streams: Why Pest + Wildlife Control Is a Smarter Business Model
Quick answer: Complete Pest Solutions franchise owners operate both a pest control business and a wildlife control business under one territory. This dual-service model increases the number of ways a franchise can generate revenue from a single customer base, without doubling overhead.
Most Pest Control Franchises Only Solve Half the Problem
A homeowner with an ant problem is a pest control customer. A homeowner with a raccoon in the attic is a wildlife control customer. Most franchise brands only serve one of those needs — which means they lose the other job to a competitor.
Complete Pest Solutions franchise owners capture both.
What “2-in-1” Actually Means for a Franchise Owner
Running a combined pest and wildlife control franchise means:
- One marketing spend, two service lines. The same local advertising, SEO, and referral network that brings in a termite inquiry can also bring in a squirrel-in-the-attic call.
- One technician team, more billable services. Cross-trained technicians can handle both standard pest treatments and wildlife exclusion work, improving route efficiency and daily revenue per truck.
- One customer, more lifetime value. A homeowner who trusts you to handle their ant problem is far more likely to call you first — instead of searching for a separate wildlife company — when they hear scratching in the attic.
- Two demand cycles instead of one. Pest issues (ants, roaches, mosquitoes, termites) and wildlife issues (raccoons, squirrels, bats, opossums) don’t always spike at the same time of year, which helps smooth out revenue across seasons.
Why This Matters More Than People Realize
Pest-only competitors are essentially leaving money on the table every time a customer has a wildlife issue. Wildlife-only companies do the same in reverse. A combined model means a Complete Pest Solutions franchise owner isn’t splitting their customer base into two — they’re serving the whole household.
This also builds a stronger local reputation. Homeowners remember “the company that handles everything” far more easily than “the company that only does bugs.”
A Franchise Model Built Around This From the Start
Complete Pest Solutions has operated as a combined pest and wildlife control company since 2008. The systems, training, and marketing playbooks are built around running both service lines together — not retrofitted as an add-on.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between pest control and wildlife control?
Pest control typically addresses insects and rodents like ants, roaches, mosquitoes, and mice. Wildlife control addresses larger nuisance animals such as raccoons, squirrels, bats, opossums, and snakes, often involving trapping, removal, and exclusion work.
Is combining pest and wildlife control under one franchise more profitable?
A combined service model typically increases revenue per customer and per technician route because it captures two categories of service calls instead of one, using shared marketing and staffing resources.
Do Complete Pest Solutions technicians handle both pest and wildlife jobs?
Yes. Technicians are trained to handle both pest treatments and wildlife exclusion services, which improves scheduling efficiency and the range of services offered to each customer.
