Pest and Mosquito Authority Franchises Opened in Pennsylvania’s ‘Main Line’, South Jersey Coast

PHILADEPHIA  – Pest Authority and Mosquito Authority announced the addition of Vince Norton and Ed McLaughlin, Pennsylvania residents and new co-franchisees joining the brands’ franchise system. Norton and McLaughlin provide all-inclusive indoor and outdoor mosquito and other pest control services to local communities across the Pennsylvania ‘Main Line’ spanning Montgomery, Delaware and Chester Counties in addition to the South Jersey coast. 

“As an all-season business backed by a franchisor with decades of experience in the industry, opening Mosquito and Pest Authority to serve communities across Pennsylvania and New Jersey was a natural step in my career,” said Norton. “Mosquito Authority had been on my mind for years with its reputation as a supportive, rapidly developing brand, and combined with my background in real estate, I realized the untapped potential for growth within these markets. I’m looking forward to building a business in my community and beyond where I’m outside helping people every day.”

After 35 years in the real estate industry across Greater Philadelphia and owning his own business providing mold and mildew prevention in the area, Norton made the switch to the pest control industry to open his Mosquito and Pest Authority business last fall. Norton and McLaughlin make up their team of professional pest control experts in addition to Norton’s wife, Janet, a retired teacher of over 35 years.

“Our franchisees are the core of offering the utmost in consistent, quality customer service and comprehensive mosquito and pest elimination,” said Chris Buitron, chief executive officer of Mainline Brands. “Vince’s extensive knowledge of his service area, excitement to grow with the brand and dedication to serving his community makes him fit right in with the Mosquito and Pest Authority franchise family and we look forward to seeing him excel in Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey.”

Mosquito Authority and Pest Authority of the Main Line is available to help customers with elimination of a wide range of pests – including mosquitoes, ticks, spotted lantern flies, ants, centipedes, earwigs, termites, bed bugs, rodents and more. A new offering this year, the Authority Advantage Bundle, combines the expert services of both brands together, a first-of-its-kind comprehensive solution for all-season pest prevention needs. Norton’s location offers the Authority Advantage Bundle to ensure homeowners have an option for protection for all pest control services – indoors and outdoors, providing the option to experience an all-inclusive level of service and peace of mind that their pest protection will last year-round.
