About Us Photo

Hi, we’re Chance Johnstone and Sam Essendrup, the founders of Zips Bugs Begone. As lifelong Minnesotans, we’ve spent our summers swatting away mosquitoes and dreaming of a better way to enjoy our backyards. Growing up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, we know firsthand how pesky mosquitoes can ruin outdoor moments with family and friends. After graduating college with degrees in entrepreneurship, we set out to build a business that solves real problems. We saw a glaring issue with traditional pest control: most solutions rely on harmful chemicals that aren’t safe for kids, pets, or the environment we love. These solutions are a hassle to apply and are often not very effective. That’s when we discovered Mosquito Magician’s revolutionary automated systems and concentrates—a game-changer that uses 100% natural, eco-friendly ingredients to repel mosquitoes, moles, deer, and rabbits while also nourishing your lawn with a safe fertilizer.

We’re proud to be the exclusive sellers of Mosquito Magician products in Minnesota. Our automated systems integrate seamlessly with your sprinklers, delivering powerful, lab-tested protection that’s tough on pests but gentle on your family, pets, and the planet. From our homes in Minnesota to yours, we’re here to help you reclaim your outdoor spaces and live bug-free, naturally. At Zips Bugs Begone, we’re driven by our passion for entrepreneurship and our commitment to sustainable solutions. We’re not just selling products—we’re building a community of Minnesotans who want to enjoy their yards without compromise. Join us in making outdoor living safe, enjoyable, and eco-friendly!
