What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clear Pest Pros's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial package fee for a standard franchise ranges from $38,000 to $38,000. This fee is paid upon signing the Franchise Agreement.
The FDD indicates that the payment is made to both Clear Pest Pros ('Us') and to third-party vendors. This suggests that the initial package consists of items sourced from multiple suppliers, with Clear Pest Pros potentially managing some aspects of the package directly while outsourcing others.
The initial package includes items such as a tablet, backpack sprayer, consumables, vehicle magnets, and an allowance for the purchase of required van graphics. Because the payment is split between Clear Pest Pros and third-party vendors, prospective franchisees should clarify exactly which portions of the package are provided by Clear Pest Pros directly and which are sourced from outside vendors. Understanding this breakdown can help in assessing the value and quality of the package components.
