Fabulous! Two men came and treated the entire yard to the extent that since then (last week in August) we have been mosquito free! It's such a joy to be able to work in my garden without having to cover every inch of my skin, PLUS apply repellant. I spend a great deal of my time outdoors!!

Did a great job, scheduling the treatment was very easy. I got several communications about when to expect the service man. He called ahead and showed up when he said he would. I have a huge backyard that I'm trying to clean out. The previous owner did a lot to the house, but the let the back yard go. Treating for mosquitos has been a great investment this summer. I definitely do it again.

Great! We saw a dramatic reduction in the number of mosquitos immediately following treatment. They accidentally treated the yard at our old address first, as we had just moved and hadn't updated our Angie's list profile. However, they took full responsibility for the mix-up and treated our new address just a couple days later free of charge.

I wanted to treat the back yard area around a pool which is probably 300 SF but was told that because my TOTAL property was larger that the 1/2 acre specified in the promotion my price would be higher so I declined the service. The ad said that the $39 price would treat up to 1/2 acre and that more could be purchased. I felt that that was slightly deceptive in that there is a larger wooded area behind my house that I was not interested in treating. I was contacted by the sales manager who offer to do it for $39 but said that they could only promise 80% success. After some back and forth on the phone I declined the offer.

They have been great. We paid $39. I think the price was high for the boys to come spray for five minutes. I thought it was a little expensive. The quality is good. It has done really great for what it was because we had them really bad here. The first one that came, he came to the door, knocked, and said what he was going to do. The second one came and I did not even talk to him. The first one was very polite. He was an excellent young man and real nice.
Description of Work: We purchased a $39 Big Deal for The Mosquito Authority for one mosquito treatment. They have done it two or three times.

I was very pleased. They arrived on time, treated my yard, deck, etc. Not only did I not have mosquitos, flies and other insects were deterred, as well. I would definitely recommend and use them again.

Things didn't go well. I was under the assumption they would call me before they came out. When they did come out they sprayed my neighbors yard by mistake and that didn't make my neighbor happy. They then came and sprayed my yard and I already have misquotes back a couple weeks later.

Response from The Mosquito Authority
Hi Kathryn, I really appreciate your feedback. Our goal is ensure every customer has a positive experience with our company. Unfortunately and regretfully you did not. While mistakes can happen we take full responsibility when we do error. With respect to mosquitoes being back in your yard. Mosquito control is a process which requires continuous treatment throughout the mosquito season in order to experience a mosquito free environment. Experiencing mosquitoes weeks after the initial treatment can happen based on the level of infestation. Without continuous treatment mosquitoes will return. I also will follow up with you personally to further address your experience with the company which has been atypical. Again thank you for your feedback which helps us get better. You can ensure your feedback will be shared with our entire staff. Best Regards, Anthony Duncan Franchise Owner The Mosquito Authority of Richmond

I didn't hear from them for the dates I provided online that I wanted service, so I had to call them twice to set up date of service. They came on the date agreed upon on the telephone and sprayed. I was pleased with the service overall and thought I got what I paid for. I would use this service again.

Always call and give me a heads up when they are on their way. Once here they do a very thorough job. They ask if there are any trouble spots or areas that may need extra attention and/or spraying. Once they leave they tell me (or call if I am not on the property) and let me know they have finished. And, they always remind to call them if anything comes up and needs attention before the next visit rolls around. Great service.

I wasn’t there when they actually did the work. It was very easy. Everything worked out great. I don’t have any complaints. It was a good cost. The quality of the service was so far so good. I plan to use them again in the future.

So far so good, in terms of the treatments; they call in advance, and I've definitely noted fewer mosquitoes. Office is a bit more aggressive about asking for payments than I would expect (particularly when service was performed within past 30 days), but overall the actual spraying has been effective and has reduced our mosquitoes. One other note - since this is a recurring service without a contract, my preference is to receive a bill for service and pay through my bank, but I believe they will now only perform service if I place a credit card on file. I am deciding whether to do this or to consider other companies that perform similar service.

Overall grade is a B as we still see a mosquito of two and have been bitten. However, the service does eliminate most all of the mosquitos. Whenever I have called to complain, they will send out a technician for an additional spray call free of charge. I really think it's a matter of the individual technician and how careful he is at spraying and how much he actually sprays.
Description of Work: We signed up for the season. 7 visits @ approx. $75/each plus one free "event" service.

The service was as expected. However the communication from the Mosquito Authority was been excellent. I get an email saying they are "on their way" and they usually call as well. They do a great job and have detailed notes about my plantings as areas to avoid.
Description of Work: I purchased the Big Deal for a Mosquito treatment at $39.00, I was very pleased with the process and service from the company and continued with the service at the regular price of $89.00 per treatment.
