Each territory is about 250,000 in population. It may be several counties in size, or a portion of a metro area, depending on density of population.
The rate you hire employees is determined by the rate of growth of your franchise. Most start of as a single person operation and operate from their home. Others will start with a sales associate and an office support person.
There is an initial training period of two weeks. The first week will be at our corporate office in Reno, Nevada and the second week will be onsite in your territory. There is also ongoing training that will be offered three times a year in various locations.

There is minimal equipment needed to get up and running. Initial equipment may include a vehicle, backpack spray unit, uniforms and materials such as chemicals, monitors and bait stations.
That depends on the speed of growth. If you receive significant government contracts, are coachable and you follow our model of success, that time will be significantly shorter. Typically, most are out of the home within the first 9 to 18 months.
There is no requirement to purchase any materials or equipment directly from Pestmaster. We can connect you with the regional representatives for both equipment and chemicals.
Leads are generated in various ways to include Internet, Social media, Radio, Word-of-mouth and Direct mail. Pestmasters national website is also a lead generation tool for our franchisees. This will be covered in your training.
Each state is different in what they require, but most states require a Commercial Applicators license, which usually requires one to two years in the field working under a qualified license. Pestmaster can assist you with connecting you with qualified license holders. All negotiations for cost of using the qualified license are negotiated directly by you and the license holder.
Pestmaster® was founded in 1979, with a modest start in the small eastern Sierra town of Bishop, CA.
As the company grew, it continued expanding its service offerings in ways that would differentiate itself from traditional pest control competitors. Our mission evolved to build a national pest control company, providing leading edge technologies in the control of insects, rodents, birds, weeds, and other pests.
