Testimonials
I ran my own small independent pest control business for six years. What took me six years to grow, PestMaster has been able to double in a year. Teaming up with PestMaster has been an excellent move for me and my business. – Chris Nelson – PetsMaster Services of Salt Lake, UT
If we had not chosen PestMaster services as a franchise, we would not have gone from one to seven employees in less than a year’s time. We wouldn’t have known about the high-dollar pest control bid opportunity at West Point Academy and would not have become the successful bidder that we are today. – Paul Alley – PestMaster Services Kingston, NY
The network has helped us secure government work. We would not be as successful today, if we had not purchased a PestMaster Franchise. – Wayne Holiday & Tommy Houk – PestMaster of Lake City, FL
PestMaster Services is the best-kept secret in the pest control industry – Tracey Woolery – PestMaster of North State, CA

History:
PestMaster Services was founded in 1979 in the small community of Bishop California. We saw a high level of success in the early years with the balanced business approach that included residential, commercial and local, state, and federal government contracts, sparked the mission to grow the company to become a national brand using this proven model of success. This model was focused on three major areas of service: Pest Control, Vegetation Management and Health-Related/Vector Control, all of which are still the foundation of the company today.
It became clear that service capability expansion and narrowing core target markets were successful for the small-town start-up and geographic expansion opportunities began presenting themselves. Such opportunities created the foundation that would support a regional, then national franchise system, and PestMaster was born. Our historically successful “turn-key” model of success was the perfect road map and just what the independent franchise operators could count on.
PestMaster was acquired by Threshold Brands in 2021. Threshold Brands is the multi-brand franchisor behind home service companies MaidPro, USA Insulation, Men in Kilts, Miracle Method, Mold Medics, Sir Grout, Granite Garage Floors, Plumbing Paramedics and Heating + Air Paramedics. The mission of Threshold Brands is to open doors for franchise owners, customers and employees to pursue their dreams.
