A note from the owner
Growing up, I was that kid. You know, the one who was always setting up lemonade stands or out mowing every lawn in the neighborhood. Heck, I even charged my dad $15 to cut our grass each week! Then one day I saw a truck pull up outside my aunt and uncle’s house to do a treatment on their lawn and being the budding entrepreneur that I was, I went over and took a look at the invoice the technician left behind. When I saw the total, something clicked for me and even though I was only 12 years old at the time, I decided that someday, somehow I would start a lawn care business of my very own.
I went on to make that dream a reality and in 2021, I sold my first lawn care company and launched Pest Badger right here in Wisconsin. From day one, my goal has remained the same: to go the extra mile for my customers and provide them with safe, effective pest control and lawn care services they can count on. I guess I was onto something because within the first three months, my team and I had signed up more than 400 accounts. Today, we’ve grown Pest Badger to six locations with thousands of customers across Wisconsin and Michigan and within the next five years, we’re on track to hit 100. I’d say my 12-year-old self would be pretty impressed with what we’ve accomplished so far!
Now after more than a decade in the business, I’m excited about helping entrepreneurs find success as Pest Badger franchisees. Whether you’re currently working in pest control or lawn care or you’re interested in becoming part of a growing, recession-proof industry that offers a ton of job satisfaction, I’d love to be part of your journey. Below, you can find all the details about what you can expect when you become a franchisee along with information on the fee structure and an inquiry form for you to fill out. Between our proven business model, our strong reputation and our comprehensive training and coaching program, I’m confident that you’ll be on track to grow and scale your new business much faster than you think. And I’ll be here cheering you on and supporting you every step of the way.
I look forward to talking with you about becoming part of the Pest Badger family very soon.
Take care,
Jonas
Pest Badger provides a vast array of services that include residential and commercial pest remediation as well as a refined lawn care application schedule. By combining both services into one convenient format, founder Jonas Olson used his extensive industry experience to create a distinct value proposition for property owners.
Pest Badger operates several successful locations throughout Michigan and Wisconsin, providing demonstrated expertise, quality products and service, and guarantees that other pest control and lawn care businesses can’t or don’t offer.
With homeownership rates nearing an all-time high, services like pest control and lawn care continue to see significant market growth. By building a recognizable and distinct brand in a high-demand industry, Pest Badger offers a unique franchise opportunity:
Positive online reputation – These days, more and more people are going online to read reviews before hiring a pest control or lawn care company. That’s why it’s so important to have a strong, positive digital presence that reflects the quality of your work and your commitment to customer service. Pest Badger has a 100% satisfaction guarantee and as a result, our customers are singing our praises in the form of rave reviews, testimonials and referrals.
Strong ROI – With reasonable overhead and startup costs in a recession-resistant industry, Pest Badger offers a fast potential ROI for a motivated owner/operator.
Simple business model – The simple, replicable Pest Badger model allows you to get your business up and running quickly and without a lot of hassle. Plus, as a franchisee, you’ll be able to operate your location out of your home with the use of a standardized vehicle. Yep, it really is that easy!
Operationally sound – Our straightforward operating model removes all guesswork and is designed to run smoothly with a manageable number of employees or 1099s. That means as an owner/operator, you’ll still have time for a life outside the office – and that’s always a good thing!
Comprehensive training and support – By leveraging our industry experience and established brand identity, we provide a platform for your success through outstanding training and support on every step of your journey. Because we believe that when you succeed, we all win.
The number one quality we look for in a Pest Badger franchisee is a commitment to the customer. Ongoing client relationships form the foundation of the Pest Badger model, so integrity and ethical business practices are critical for franchise success.
