Authority Brands proudly announces a major milestone for Mosquito Squad — a leader in outdoor pest management and valued member of the Authority Brands family, as it marks its 20th anniversary this year. As part of this celebration, we’re excited to introduce Mosquito Squad Plus, offering expanded service packages to address a broader range of pests in both indoor and outdoor environments (services vary by location). This evolution underscores our dedication to delivering comprehensive home services. Since its founding in 2005 by Boyd Huneycutt and Scott Zide in Virginia, Mosquito Squad has been a pioneer in pest control innovation. Huneycutt and Zide worked in the outdoor lighting business and realized that that their installers were constantly being bitten by mosquitoes. To deal with the issue, the two developed the Protective Barrier Treatment, a method that worked to keep mosquitoes, ticks, and other bugs out of yards for up to 21 days - an approach still used today. Mosquito Squad quickly established itself as a leading outdoor pest control franchisor. In a significant industry development, Authority Brands acquired Mosquito Squad on December 10, 2018, marking the beginning of a transformative partnership. The launch of Mosquito Squad Plus reflects our commitment to innovation and adaptability, meeting the evolving needs of our customers. This milestone affirms our position as an industry leader in home services and our dedication to excellence across all our brands. Join us in celebrating 20 years of excellence and innovation in pest control. We look forward to continuing our mission of elevating home services through our portfolio of exceptional brands, including Mosquito Squad Plus. #AuthorityBrands #MosquitoSquadPlus #20YearsOfExcellence #HomeServiceLeaders ????
