Built For Franklin

We know Franklin's commercial mix — from the courthouse square to I-65.

Franklin's commercial pest pressure doesn't look like Greenwood or the north metro. The historic downtown square — built around the 1882 Johnson County Courthouse — is full of century-old brick storefronts with envelope vulnerabilities a new-build doesn't have: party walls, shared basements, original framing, and rooftop gaps that let pests in long before they reach the dining room. Franklin College has its own rhythm of move-in weeks, dining-hall service, and summer conference traffic. And I-65 exit 90 manufacturing and distribution operators carry audit and compliance obligations that demand documented IPM programs, not a drive-by spray.

ProTech was built around Johnson County's actual operating reality: the historic square restaurants and retail tenants that need structural exclusion and not just bait, Johnson County courthouse and government facilities scheduled around public-access hours, Johnson Memorial Hospital-area outpatient and surgical sites running Joint Commission and Indiana State Department of Health survey cycles, Franklin College residence halls and dining services with their own academic-calendar pest rhythms, and the small-to-mid manufacturing and distribution operators that have grown around the I-65 exit 90 corridor.

We're a small, owner-operated, commercial-only team on purpose. No subcontractors, no rotating faces, no pass-offs to a regional hub. Every Franklin service call is handled by an in-house ProTech technician with a direct line to ownership — and facility notes that actually carry forward visit to visit.

Pest Pressures in Franklin

What Franklin commercial facilities actually face.

Regional pest pressure for Johnson County — what we see on service calls, by vertical and by corridor.

Rodents (Norway Rats, House Mice)
High
Historic square restaurants, I-65 exit 90 manufacturing, Franklin College basements

Historic square envelopes have entry points newer buildings don't. Peak indoor pressure Oct–Feb. Campus basements and steam-tunnel access points are a specific Franklin College vulnerability.

German Cockroaches
High
Downtown square kitchens, Franklin College dining halls

Tight-stacked historic restaurants share mechanical walls and original framing — harborage a new facility never sees. Campus dining needs regular IPM, not reactive spray.

Bed Bugs
Medium
Franklin College residence halls, senior living, hospitality

Residence-hall turnover and move-in weeks are peak pressure at Franklin College. Aprehend® means no room evacuation — critical during an active semester.

Flies (Drain, Fruit, House)
Medium
Square restaurants, campus dining, healthcare kitchens

Most fly calls trace to drain biofilm or neglected floor sinks — treated at the source, not aerosol knockdown.

Stored Product Pests
Medium
I-65 manufacturing, bakeries, Franklin College dining storage

Indian meal moths and grain beetles — inspection-critical for AIB-standard operators and any facility with dry-goods storage.

Carpenter Ants
Medium
Historic square, Franklin College older buildings

Original wood framing in downtown Franklin and older campus structures creates harborage that requires structural inspection, not surface treatment.

Overwintering Pests
Seasonal
I-65 corridor, Franklin College south-facing facades

Brown marmorated stink bugs and cluster flies accumulate on south/west-facing glass Sep–Nov — especially noticeable on older campus buildings and I-65 exit-90 office frontage.

Birds (Pigeons, Starlings)
Medium
Courthouse square ledges, I-65 loading docks

Historic courthouse and square ledges create roosting surfaces; I-65 manufacturing docks see the classic pigeon/starling pressure. Exclusion netting and spikes beat sound deterrents long-term.

Franklin Pest Calendar

Franklin's pest calendar runs rodent-heavy October through February as populations move indoors — historic square buildings and Franklin College basements are the most vulnerable surfaces in the county. Bed bug activity climbs May–September with residence-hall turnover, summer camps and conferences on campus, and hospitality traffic from Indianapolis Motor Speedway weekends. Cockroach pressure stays year-round in square kitchen clusters and campus dining. Planning your service program around that calendar keeps Franklin facilities ahead of issues instead of reacting.

What Franklin Clients Say

Commercial operators across Johnson County.

★★★★★
We run a restaurant on the historic square and the building is over 130 years old. Pest pressure comes with the territory. ProTech actually walked the envelope, sealed the basement, and our last two Johnson County Health Department inspections came back clean. That never happened with our old provider.
Restaurant Owner
Historic Square, Franklin
★★★★★
Managing facilities on a college campus is its own animal — residence halls, dining, academic buildings, summer conferences. ProTech gets the rhythm. Move-in week readiness checks, post-break treatments, Aprehend® on residence-hall calls. Professional, discreet, and the students never even notice.
Facilities Director
Franklin College Campus
★★★★★
Our I-65 manufacturing facility needed AIB-compliant rodent and stored-product documentation. ProTech built the program, cleaned up our exterior stations, and our last audit came back without a single pest-related finding. Their reporting is what corporate wanted to see.

Frequently Asked

Commercial pest questions — Franklin edition.

Do you service restaurants on the historic Franklin square?
Yes — historic square restaurants are one of our core Franklin accounts. 1880s-era buildings need structural exclusion and envelope work most national chains skip entirely. Service is scheduled around your prep and service windows, with documentation ready for Johnson County Health Department inspections.
Do you work with Franklin College on campus pest management?
We service college and university facilities and understand the academic-calendar rhythm — move-in weeks, residence-hall turnover, dining-service IPM, summer camps and conferences, and academic-building inspections. Aprehend® bed bug treatment is specifically valuable for residence halls because it doesn't require room evacuation during an active semester.
What's the most common commercial pest in Franklin?
It depends on the vertical. Rodents dominate historic square restaurant and I-65 manufacturing calls, especially Oct–Feb. German cockroaches drive most downtown kitchen and campus dining pressure. Bed bugs spike in residence halls during turnover and in senior-living communities year-round. Stored-product pests are the top concern for I-65 manufacturing and bakery accounts.
Do you handle Johnson County government facilities and the courthouse?
Yes. Government and municipal buildings — including the Johnson County Courthouse, county offices, and city facilities — are one of our commercial verticals. We schedule around public-access hours, court sessions, and employee presence, with documentation ready for county compliance reviews.
Are you licensed to service Johnson Memorial Hospital-area healthcare?
Yes. ProTech is fully licensed, insured, and uses IPM protocols appropriate for healthcare environments — hospitals, outpatient clinics, surgical centers, and long-term care. We service Johnson Memorial Hospital-area facilities with documentation ready for Joint Commission and Indiana State Department of Health surveys.
Do you offer emergency pest response for Franklin businesses?
Yes — emergency response is one of our commercial services. Active infestations, pre-inspection discoveries, pre-move-in residence-hall finds, and pest issues that threaten operations get prioritized. Because we're a focused, owner-operated team, calls reach an actual Johnson County technician rather than a national call center queue.
Can you work around our Franklin facility's operating hours?
Yes — that's core to what we do. Square kitchens get pre-dawn or post-close service. Campus buildings get break-week or off-hours inspections. Manufacturing gets off-shift service. Courthouse and government facilities get scheduling around public-access hours. Healthcare gets coordinated with infection control. Commercial-focused pest control works around your operation, not the other way around.
