Mosquito Joe moves into Fargo-Moorhead area

By Lisa Gibson

FARGO — National mosquito-spraying company Mosquito Joe will be providing its services in the Fargo-Moorhead area by the end of May, as it expands its northwest Minnesota franchises.

The new service area will include a 30mile radius around Fargo, extending farther down to Wahpeton, North Dakota, and east to meet up with the edge of the Alexandria, Minnesota, coverage area near Fergus Falls, Minnesota, says Mosquito Joe franchise owner Trevor Petrie. The company provides mosquito, tick and flea treatment for residential and commercial clients, including homes, campgrounds, resorts and parks. It also provides treatments for outdoor events.

Pertie says his business, while national, is family-owned and operated, and he’s passionate about the people it serves. “Being able to give people the ‘outside’ again, for us, is really rewarding,” he says, adding clients sometimes send him photos of their children playing or relaxing outside after their yards have been treated.

Mosquito Joe will have a service van in Fargo, ready for new customers. The move to the area is a result of demand for services, as well as a natural progression of growth for Petrie’s Alexandria franchise, he says. “We’re excited to expand up to that area, and we’ll be looking to expand farther every year.” PB
