Opportunities are open across Canada, and we're coming to the US next. Every region below is a single-owner territory — drag the map, zoom in, and click a region to see the communities it covers and whether it's still open. Boundaries are finalised in your territory agreement, and we'll draw a new one for the right owner.

    Why this business

    A recession-resilient model, built to scale

    Families protect their homes in every economy, and they come back season after season. That makes this a business you can grow in the good years and hold through the lean ones — and one that rewards owners who want to add trucks, add crews and add territories.

    Revenue that comes back

    Customers renew year after year, so the value you create in your first season compounds into the next one. You're building equity, not chasing the next job.

    A brand people already know

    A name customers trust, a wrapped fleet neighbours recognise, and a marketing system that hands you booked quotes instead of a phone book.

    Low overhead, real ownership

    No storefront, no lease, no head-office payroll to carry. Your capital goes into growing the business instead of paying rent on it.

    Licensed work, protected work

    Exterminator licensing is a barrier to entry — and once you're through it, it keeps the weekend operators out of your territory.

    Your region, only yours

    One owner per territory. No other BuzzGuard truck quotes inside your boundary, and leads generated there route to you.

    Never on your own

    Head office carries the brand, the buying power, the software and the hard questions. You carry your territory. Nobody builds this alone.

    How it goes

    From first call to first season

    Most owners go from enquiry to open for business in a single off-season, timed so training lands well before the spring rush.

    Enquire

    Tell us which territory caught your eye and what you do now. We send the information pack the same week.

    Half an hour on the phone. What the work really looks like in February and in July, what it costs to start, and what we expect from an owner.

    Disclosure & review

    Wrap goes on the truck, your service-area page goes live, and pre-season marketing starts filling the calendar before the first warm week.

    Who this suits

    We provide great opportunities for great people

    We do what we love in service of those who love what we do — and we look for owners who feel the same. You do not need a pest control background. Our strongest owners came from landscaping, trades, lawn care, agriculture and the military.

    • You'll start hands-onSeason one teaches you the business from the ground up. The owners who learn the work first are the ones who go on to build a crew and hand it over.
    • You live in the territoryOr you're moving there. This business is built on neighbours recommending neighbours, and that only works if you're one of them.
    • You can be licensedProvincial exterminator licensing requires training and an exam. If you can't hold a licence, we can't award a territory.
    • You'll say the honest thingWe reduce pest pressure — we don't promise a yard with nothing in it. Owners who oversell create refunds, not routes.

    FAQ

    The questions everyone asks first

    What does a territory cost?

    The initial franchise fee, the equipment and vehicle package, and the working capital you'll want for a first season are all set out in the information pack and, in full, in the franchise disclosure document. We won't quote a number on a web page and then move it in a meeting — ask us and we'll send the real figures.

    How much can I earn?

    We don't publish earnings claims, and you should be wary of any franchise that does on its website. What we will do is show you the numbers behind our own operating territories during the disclosure process, so you can build your own projection with your own accountant.

    Do I need pest control experience?

    No. You need to be able to obtain provincial exterminator licensing, which means training and an exam — we'll walk you through both. Most of our operators came from landscaping, trades or lawn care rather than pest control.

    What happens in the winter?

    The spray season runs roughly May to October. Winter is renewals, pre-season marketing, equipment maintenance and, in most territories, rodent work — mice and rats move indoors precisely when mosquitoes stop flying. Some owners also run a complementary trade in the off-season, and we don't object.

    How are the boundaries decided?

    Territories follow county and regional-municipality lines so there's never an argument about who a postal code belongs to. The map on this page reflects the current plan; the exact boundary and its legal description are confirmed in your territory agreement.

    My region is already taken. Now what?

    Tell us anyway. Territories get redrawn as regions fill in, existing owners occasionally sell, and knowing there's a qualified candidate waiting in a region changes how we plan the next season.

    Can I own more than one territory?

    Eventually, yes — but not on day one. We award a second territory once the first one is running a full season's routes without you personally in the truck every day.

    Franchise enquiry

    Confidential

    Prefer to talk first? Call 343-341-4417.

    This page is information about franchise opportunities, not an offer to sell a franchise. A franchise is offered only by a franchise disclosure document delivered in accordance with the applicable provincial legislation — including Ontario's Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000 and Manitoba's Franchises Act — and only in provinces where BuzzGuard is registered or exempt. Territory boundaries and availability shown on the map are indicative and change as regions are awarded.

    The map won't stay this open.
