Mosquito Squad is owned by Outdoor Living Brands, which is a franchise company that owns several outdoor service brands, and its founder is Chris Grandpre who started it in 2005. Mosquito Squad was founded in 2005 in Richmond, Virginia by Chris Grandpre, who recognized need for professional mosquito control after dealing with mosquito problems in his own backyard. In 2009, Outdoor Living Brands was formed as parent company to franchise Mosquito Squad and other outdoor brands including Conserva Irrigation and Outdoor Lighting Perspectives. Outdoor Living Brands is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and is privately held, with investment from private equity firms that support franchise growth. Mosquito Squad itself operates as franchise system with over 250 franchise locations owned by individual franchise owners across 35 plus states, so each local Mosquito Squad is owned by local franchisee who pays franchise fee to Outdoor Living Brands and follows corporate standards for training and products. Chris Grandpre remains involved as founder and executive. So overall owner is Outdoor Living Brands, but local operations are owned by franchisees. It is not publicly traded, and not owned by Terminix or Rentokil, though it competes with them. The company has grown to be one of larger mosquito control brands in US.
