Talk to Averan → Averan MosquitoNix Conversion Package →- Item 19 reports affiliate-owned markets, and each covers more than one franchise territory. The four Conforming Markets cover about 3.1 to 3.4 territories each and WCFL about 6.6. None paid a royalty or Brand Fund in 2025; the tables show what each would have paid as a franchisee.
- The four Conforming Markets reported $4,416,814 of sales and $1,238,395 of net operating profit if franchised. That is 28.04% of sales*. The printed margin for the four is 35.66%, which does not match the printed profit and sales.
- Convenience Billing was $2,979,504, 67.46% of the four markets’ total sales*. Misting systems were 10.27%* and Christmas lights 7.52%*. The FDD does not define Convenience Billing.
- Direct labor and wages together came to 26.06% of sales in the four markets*. Direct labor inside cost of goods was $812,954 and wages below gross profit $338,236. In Orlando, wages alone were 23.15% of sales*.
- The required local marketing spend falls from $42,000 to $21,000 a year when the prior year’s sales pass $500,000. It is $16,800 above $700,000, and $15,000 for each contiguous territory held under additional agreements. In the first year it is $42,000, which is 11.34% of $370,479*.
Sales and profit
How much does a MosquitoNix franchise make?
| Market | Territories (approx.) | Total sales | Sales a territory | Net operating profit if franchised | Profit ÷ sales * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacksonville | 3.2 | $1,366,843 | $427,138 | $337,284 | 24.68% |
| Mid-Cities | 3.1 | $826,484 | $266,607 | $266,001 | 32.18% |
| North Dallas | 3.4 | $576,625 | $169,595 | $171,928 | 29.82% |
| Dallas | 3.1 | $1,646,862 | $531,245 | $463,182 | 28.13% |
| All four | 12.8 | $4,416,814 | $370,479 | $1,238,395 | 28.04% |
Figures as the brand reported them. The last column divides the printed profit by the printed sales and is marked *. The printed margins are 36.22%, 31.07%, 33.53%, 35.55% and 35.66% for all four.
The four Conforming Markets reported $4,416,814 of sales in 2025, printed as $370,479 a franchise-size territory. They are Jacksonville, Mid-Cities, North Dallas and Dallas. All six markets in Item 19 are owned and run by affiliates of the franchisor, and the FDD reports no franchised territory’s results.
A franchise territory holds up to 60,000 single-family households with an average household income of $100,000. Each Conforming Market covers about 3.1 to 3.4 territories, and the FDD divides each market’s sales by that count. Per territory, the four ran from $169,595 in North Dallas to $531,245 in Dallas.
The $370,479 for all four does not follow from the table’s other figures. $4,416,814 divided by the 12.8 territories stated is $345,064*, and the printed figure implies 11.9 territories*. Each market’s own per-territory figure does match its sales divided by its territory count.
Net operating profit if franchised is net income less an imputed royalty and a 2% Brand Fund. The markets paid neither in 2025. The tables apply 7% to the three markets above $700,000 and 9% to North Dallas at $576,625*. The tables deduct no Customer Acquisition Commission or technology fee as franchise expenses.
The printed margins do not match the printed profit and sales. Jacksonville’s $337,284 on $1,366,843 is 24.68%*, against a printed 36.22%. This page uses the division of the printed figures.

Amounts as the brand reported them; the share column divides each by the printed total sales of $4,416,814 and is marked *. The four revenue lines add to $4,323,320*, because Dallas’s lines add to $1,553,370* against its printed $1,646,862.
Convenience Billing was the largest revenue line, at $2,979,504. That is 67.46% of total sales*. Miscellaneous service was 12.63%*, misting systems 10.27%* and Christmas lights 7.52%*. The FDD does not define the Convenience Billing line.
Direct labor, at $812,954, was the largest cost line. That is 18.41% of sales*. With $338,236 of wages below gross profit, labor came to $1,151,190, or 26.06% of sales*.
Product costs for misting, lighting and miscellaneous service came to $695,647, or 15.75% of sales*. Misting systems cost $278,704 against $453,663 of misting revenue, and Christmas lights $52,031 against $332,139 of lighting revenue, before direct labor.
The imputed royalty and Brand Fund came to $409,042, 9.26% of sales*. Net income before those charges was $1,647,437, or 37.30% of sales*.
The FDD states that costs as a share of sales show no material difference between a whole market and a franchise-size territory. That is the franchisor’s statement; the tables do not show costs at territory size.

Figures as the brand reported them, ordered by sales; brackets show losses. The last column divides the printed profit by the printed sales and is marked *.
The FDD splits the six markets into four Conforming and two Non-Conforming Markets. Each Conforming Market had a company-affiliated general manager active in it and generally spent over about $60,000 on local marketing. The Non-Conforming Markets had no dedicated general manager living in the market, and none generally spent over $24,000 on local marketing.
Among the Conforming Markets, the margin ran from 24.68% in Jacksonville to 32.18% in Mid-Cities*. Mid-Cities had the third-highest sales. Dallas carried $119,024 of facilities expenses against $9,409 in Jacksonville, and Jacksonville carried $224,486 of operating expenses.
Orlando reported a loss of $59,738 before franchise charges and $124,817 after them. Its wages were $125,528, 23.15% of its sales*, against 7.66% in the four Conforming Markets*. WCFL kept 9.17% of sales* against a printed 10.90%.
Orlando’s imputed royalty is 10% of its sales*. The Item 6 chart sets 9% for sales of $500,001 to $600,000, and Orlando’s were $542,324.
The printed per-territory figures for the Non-Conforming Markets do not reconcile. Orlando is printed at $53,695 a territory, but $542,324 over 3.3 territories is $164,341*. The two markets are printed at $126,882 a territory on about 10.1 territories, while their stated territories add to 9.9*.

| Minimum weekly royalty | $0 in year 1; $137.50 a week in year 2, rising to $387.50 in year 10; applies when greater than the percentage royalty | Franchisor | ||
| Brand Development Fund | 2% of gross sales, weekly; may rise to 3% on 60 days’ notice | Franchisor | $7,410 | 2.00% |
| Technology fee | $75 a week; no more than a 20% increase a year | Franchisor | $3,900 | 1.05% |
| Customer Acquisition Commission | 8% of gross sales on each new sale closed through the central sales team, and on any lead it works | Franchisor | ||
| Local marketing requirement | $42,000 in the first year; then $42,000, $21,000 or $16,800 by prior-year sales; $15,000 for each contiguous territory | Spent locally | $42,000 | 11.34% |
| Regional cooperative | None now; 1% to 2% of gross sales if established, counted toward local marketing | Cooperative | ||
| Paid to the franchisor: royalty, Brand Development Fund and technology fee | $48,357 | 13.05% |
Rates as the brand reported them. The dollar and share columns are marked * and apply each rate to $370,479, the printed per-territory sales of the four Conforming Markets, at the first-year local marketing amount. The 8% commission depends on which sales the central sales team closes and is not included.
At $370,479 of sales, the royalty, Brand Fund and technology fee come to $48,357 a year, 13.05% of sales*. The $42,000 first-year local marketing requirement is spent on top, a further 11.34% of sales*. Local marketing is spent in the territory, not paid to the franchisor.
The royalty rate and the local marketing requirement both step down with sales. The royalty uses sales within the agreement year; the marketing requirement uses the prior agreement year’s sales, and falls from $42,000 to $21,000 above $500,000 and to $16,800 above $700,000.
The minimum royalty is set week by week. At 10%, the year-two minimum of $137.50 matches $1,375 of sales in a week*, or $7,150 a year*. The year-ten minimum of $387.50 is $20,150 a year*.
Franchisees must sign up for the Customer Acquisition Center and pay 8% on the sales it closes. In 2025 it handled 1,378 inquiries for the six affiliate markets, closed 164 of 294 misting system estimates (56%) at an average of $3,853 before tax, and closed 52 of 105 Christmas light estimates. 164 systems at $3,853 is $631,892*; 8% of that is $50,551*. The FDD gives its overall closing rate as 55%.
Systems, uniforms and yard signs are bought from the affiliate MQX Products. It sets prices on a cost-plus basis and will not exceed a 30% profit margin a year across the product line sold to franchisees.

As the brand reported it, reordered here by the high estimate. Both columns add to the printed totals.
The FDD estimates $124,612 to $162,612 to open a new business for one territory, including the $49,000 initial franchise fee. Of that, $75,212 to $78,212 is paid to the franchisor or bought from its affiliate MQX Products.
The vehicle line is a 10% down payment on a leased vehicle costing about $62,000 to $64,000. The FDD’s standard lease assumes a 60-month term and a 20% residual. The lease payments after the down payment are not part of the estimate.
The $24,000 market entry campaign is due within three months of opening. The $4,712 opening marketing package is bought from the franchisor before opening, and the $42,000 local marketing requirement applies to the first agreement year.
Additional funds of $10,000 to $25,000 cover the first three months. The FDD states this excludes debt service. It estimates 30 to 90 days from signing to opening.
Further territories carry a lower initial fee. Three territories cost $142,000, nine cost $386,000, and ten or more are $35,000 each beyond the ninth. A qualifying veteran receives $2,500 off a single-territory fee. Buying an existing affiliate business is estimated at $7,700 to $113,112, before the price of its assets.

Counts as the brand reported them in the totals rows; the total row sums the three years and is marked *. There were no transfers between franchisees in the three years.
MosquitoNix had 21 franchised outlets and 6 company-owned outlets at the end of 2025. The franchisor began offering franchises in December 2023. Predecessors and past affiliates offered MosquitoNix franchises off and on since 2008.
Two franchised outlets in South Carolina ceased operations for other reasons in 2024, and one in Missouri was terminated in 2025. The Missouri row also shows a termination in 2024 that the 2024 totals row does not.
One company-owned outlet, in South Carolina, was sold to a franchisee in 2025. Company-owned outlets went from 7 to 6. The FDD states the company-owned businesses operate in areas larger than a franchise territory.
34 franchise agreements were signed but not opened at the end of 2025. The franchisor projects 17 franchised openings in 2026. Item 1 states 56 franchises had been sold by the end of 2025.
