Clear Pest Pros is a new franchise opportunity entering the growing pest management industry. The following financial performance representations are projections, based on the performance of our company-owned affiliate, which operates a pest management business under the name "Safer Home Services" in Clearwater, Florida ("SHS Location"). As of the issuance date of this document, we do not have any franchisees or affiliate-owned locations operating under the name "Clear Pest Pros."
The SHS Location operates a business that provides similar services to those that the Clear Pest Pros
franchisees will offer. The SHS Location operates in a territory that is eight-times the size of a Clear Pest Pros territory, operates several trucks, and has been operating since 2014. We have prepared the below projections on data from the SHS Location, having adjusted for those differences. The following projections are unaudited.
Projected Revenue and Operating Margin
| Revenue (Per Truck) | $219,895 |

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clear Pest Pros's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the financial performance representations provided are projections based on the performance of their company-owned affiliate, Safer Home Services (SHS), and are not audited. The projections are derived from data from the SHS Location, adjusted for differences such as territory size and service frequency. The SHS Location operates in a territory eight times the size of a Clear Pest Pros territory and has been operating since 2014.
Specifically, the projected revenue per truck is $219,895, with a cost of sales of $117,455, resulting in an operating margin of $102,440, or 46.6%. These figures are based on the experience of the SHS Location but are adjusted to reflect franchisees servicing customers quarterly, as required by Clear Pest Pros' System Standards. The cost of sales includes technician and subcontractor labor, commissions, and truck, equipment, and material costs.
It is important to note that these figures are projections and not guarantees of actual performance. Clear Pest Pros explicitly states that they do not make any other representations about a franchisee's future financial performance and do not authorize employees or representatives to make such representations. Prospective franchisees should be aware that these projections are unaudited and based on a single affiliate-owned location with adjustments made by the franchisor. If a prospective franchisee receives any other financial performance information or projections, they are advised to report it to Clear Pest Pros' management, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
