The guy knew his stuff! He told me what I was doing wrong and he was very smart and he helped me out a lot! He was also very thorough! He was on time and the price was great! The company has been around since 1991 and that says a lot about the company; They are still serving others and the work is still great!

They were superb. The best thing about them is that when they spray and then you have the heavy storm. Then they will come back and spray again. They won’t charge you. They are very good about that.

We had an absolutely terrible mosquito problem in our yard, which is about an acre located in a wooded neighborhood. A person could not walk 20 feet from house to car without being bitten. One of my adult sons termed it "oppressive." Because I am a gardener in the process of overhauling our landscape, I am outside in the yard for six to eight hours per day. I was using "OFF Sweat-Resistant" insect repellent and going through at least one can per week. This worked well but cost over $20.00 per month and I was concerned about applying that much DEET (other, non-DEET repellents did not work as well). Our grandchildren enjoy playing outside in the sandbox, jumping on the trampoline, playing ball and exploring nature (mosquitoes excluded), but the mosquitoes have kept everyone except me inside, held hostage from spring until the first frost finally kills them in early November. Last month the four families wanted to have a camp-out, with tent and sleeping bags, campfire, picnic, games, etc. I had never considered having the yard sprayed, assuming it would be expensive and involve toxic chemicals. Nonetheless, I checked Angie's List and called Mosquito Squad because they specialized in mosquitoes, had many positive reviews, and offered both a synthetic fog that kills mosquitoes, is safe after it dries (30 minutes) and lasts 21 days, as well as a natural alternative that repels them for 14 days. I chose to kill the buggers. I called Mosquito Squad on the Tuesday before the Friday-night camp-out and explained the situation. I think I spoke with John Morse, the owner. He explained that they would spray the entire yard up to and about 20 feet beyond any "natural" areas. He said they would come out and spray on Thursday. To my happy surprise, they arrived on Wednesday. I assumed that before the first spraying I would have an opportunity to point out to the technicians just how far the yard extended. This was important to me because I didn't want them to assume we did not venture into the far (wooded) reaches of the yard, thus spraying only what appeared to be the most used areas. Unfortunately, I did not get that opportunity because as soon as they popped out of the truck they started fogging. Because of the noise and the fact that they were wearing masks and I wasn't, I did not venture out to talk with them. The technicians proceeded to fog the yard, and although they did not get to the "back forty," they did spray, as promised, up to and about 20 feet beyond the natural areas. When they finished, they left an invoice in the mailbox ($60.00) and left without coming to the door. The treatment has been like a miracle! NO MOSQUITOES for a good two weeks and only a few on days 15 through 20. What a joy to not have to spray myself with bug spray every day. The camp-out was great - no spraying and swatting all night! I am happy that, without prompting, they came out again three weeks later, fogged and left an invoice in the mailbox.
