After 30 years in public service, Julie Handzo didn't expect to become a rookie again, but that's exactly what happened when she and her family took over a Mosquito Squad Plus franchise.

The opportunity came together quickly, and Handzo built the business with her daughter and her daughter's fiancé as co-owners.

Handzo doubled the customer base in her first year, an achievement recognized with The Rookie of the Year award from Mosquito Squad Plus.

Her approach: lean on the team, lean on franchisor support, and don't skip the fundamentals. She even put on a technician's backpack and resprayed a property herself just to understand the job.

"I only see that potential because the Mosquito Squad Plus team is there showing us every day," she said.

Julie's recent feature on 1851 Franchise is a strong example of what's possible for candidates coming from outside the industry, with the right support system behind them.

What sets Mosquito Squad Plus apart isn't just a product, it's the science behind it.

We pair our proprietary Essential Botanical Insecticide with in-house entomologists who work directly with franchise owners in the field.

Entomologist Emma Grace Crumbley puts it simply: "In order to provide effective pest control, you really have to understand the pest and its biology."

That expertise shows up in day-to-day support, from pest identification questions to technician training to helping franchisees explain treatment decisions to customers.

Mosquito Squad Plus franchise owners are not left with guesswork but with an approach grounded in inspection and integrated pest management.

For anyone evaluating a pest control franchise, that's the difference between a brand that hands you a spray tank and one that builds real technical support into the model.

Ticks can be scary. To reduce the risk of getting them on your property, you should contact the tick control experts at Mosquito Squad (Boston Metro South, MA), but there are things you can do to help prolong the results of your treatment:

✅ CLEAR OUT areas where lawn and tree debris gathers. Ticks thrive in moist, shady areas and tend to die in sunny, dry areas. Don't position playground equipment, decks, or patios near treed areas.

✅ CLEAN leaf litter around the house and lawn edges. We also recommend mowing tall grass to keep your lawn short.

✅ CHOOSE PLANTS and shrubs that don’t attract deer, which can bring ticks into your yard.

✅ CHECK HIDING PLACES like fences, brick walls, and patio retaining walls where ticks commonly hang out.

✅ CARE FOR FAMILY PETS that can suffer from tick-borne disease and can also carry infected ticks into your home. Talk to your veterinarian about using tick collars and sprays.

✅ CALL THE PROS for tick control!

While some insects, like mosquitoes, need bodies of water to lay their eggs in, most insects lay their eggs on the leaves and stems of plants. Many of the eggs you’ll find on plants belong to beneficial insects in your yard. Some eggs, however, may hatch into pesky garden pests. Before letting eggs hatch or taking them off your foliage, try to identify whether the eggs belong to friends or foes. Here's how:

This blog explains what three beneficial insect eggs look like (butterflies, ladybugs, and lacewings) and what pest eggs generally look like.
