“One Child Dies Every 30 seconds”

As I gear up to start my new Mosquito Squad business, so many friends and acquaintances ask me the same question: Why did you choose this business? The answer is Malaria and Lyme Disease. These are two huge reasons for me personally. Both of these diseases have touched me personally. If you have ever experienced either ailment, or have a loved one who has then you know how I feel.

Mosquito Squad gives me a way to join forces against Lyme in your backyard by treating to eliminate ticks along with the mosquitoes. We are endorsed by the National Capital Lyme Disease Association. For more information visit:  www.natcaplyme.org

I know we don’t have Malaria in this country any more, but it is still destructively prevalent in too many parts of the world. This disease is preventable and treatable, yet daily it reduces productivity of workers and kills people, especially children.

How does my starting a  Mosquito Squad business in Maryland help people abroad? When I first heard of this franchised opportunity I learned that there was a social action.  In effort to help our global community, the corporate office of Mosquito Squad has chosen to partner with MALARIA NO MORE,  a compassionate organization with a proven record of reducing Malaria in African villages by way of multi-tiered treatment and simple, low-cost prevention. Now I can personally join this effort by raising awareness and funds through my new office coming this Spring.  To learn more take a look at this video about MALARIA NO MORE:

Sincere thanks for visiting this blog and the 2 links I feel are vitally important.

Mosquito Control That Really Works

Mosquito Problem?

You might not be thinking about this with that white stuff on the ground right now, but are you sick of being run indoors? Last summer I was.  One day in June, my family had not been able to continue enjoying meals outside anymore. It wasn’t the weather, it was the biting mosquitoes (especially those asian tiger mosquitoes) and the fear of ticks. We’d be run in by those little pests so fast that we’d given up eating outside.  I heard about this company called Mosquito Squad and couldn’t wait to see if it was all it claimed to be.  My reason was twofold: my family needed relief in the yard and in the back of my mind, I thought if it worked, it might be a franchise I would want to buy. (I learned about this company as a franchise consultant that helps others find the right franchise to start up.)

The Test

One Wednesday in June, we got the first application on our yard. Two days later,  we had a couple families over for a casual diner. All nine of us ate outside. Then we stayed out till 10:30 playing board games at the table with not one mosquito. We got our yard back. What a great summer it turned out to be, though I noticed we were the only ones in our neighborhood outside those following months.

It tuns out I’m not the only one who loves this service and the company behind it. There were 18 new franchisees at training a month ago preparing to open 20 new territories in the country.  Here is the link to see if your area is covered: www.MosquitoSquad.com .  If it’s not and/or you think you might want to own a franchise, click here.

Wishing you Healthy, Happy Outdoor Living!
