Description of Work: "I purchased their service through Groupon for $39. and called to schedule the spraying treatment for mosquitos. The person who answered the phone said the only way he could give me an appointment was if I gave him my credit card. Even though I explained I had already paid for the service through Groupon. He assured me the wouldn't charge my card. Well he lied! I called 4 times and was told each time they would credit my card back for the erroneous charge, and each time they offered instead to come out and spray again. The last time, they even suggested I needed to give them an additional $60+ for the additional spraying. I refused. No credit was given even though they promised to do so. I had to call my credit card company to reverse the charge which they did immediately. |I would stay far away from them!"

Description of Work: I signed up for the $39 treatment. When I tried to schedule it, I was told that in order to have the first treatment, I would be required to establish an account and put a credit card on file. Establishing the account was not a problem for me, but I refused to give them a credit card number to be placed on file. They then told me that they would not provide service. I do not believe this is good business practices. I would warn consumers to be very careful.

When I called to schedule my appointment, the lady was very friendly and I was able to get them scheduled to come out the next day. Although they said I did not have to be there, I really wanted to be there since this was my first service. The service person called ahead to let me know when he was on the way. When he arrived, he set up at the house across the street from me and began to work. I had to go across the street to let him know he was at the wrong house. He said he must have put in the wrong address. Of course, I was very glad that I was home when they came out! Once I got the service person to my address, he completed the service without any issues. I have noticed a dramatic decline in the mosquitoes in my yard and I would definitely use the service again. I would encourage the company to institute some type of a quality check to ensure that their service people verify that they are at the correct address before providing the service.
Description of Work: Sprayed my yard to prevent mosquitoes. The service is advertised to last 3 weeks.

They did half of the job. It was fine. I think there was some confusion in notifying me on when they would be here, so I found some difficulty in the communication. Their service has worked.

The technician that The Mosquito Authority sent to my home was pleasant and very professional. So far, to date, I've had one treatment; they re-spray every 21 days or so. I'm not mosquito free yet, but given time, I trust this service will do fine. Also, I'll rely on reports from my family and guests that'll visit my home for barbeques/parties. If all goes as planned, I may use The Mosquito Authority year after year!!
Description of Work: The Mosquito Authority offered a $39.00 one treatment deal that I had to take advantage of. We spoke over the phone where the provider explained the facts of what attracts mosquitoes, their breeding habits, their life cycle, the percentage of barrier effectiveness per treatment and more.

We were not home at the time the yard was sprayed but we have had no mosquitos since The Mosquito Squad sprayed. Whatever they did has been very effective! I have been able to work in the yard without putting any bug spray on. It has been wonderful!!

After purchasing the deal, I got an email from the company saying that previous customers cannot use this deal. If this is true, they should have included that in the fine print of the deal. They also called me three times today with a sales pitch. They said that I could use the $39 that I paid for the deal towards the full price of treatment. I will not be using this company.

Response from The Mosquito Authority
Hi [member name removed], I just received your review and want to apologize for the mistake on our behalf. This is our first time running a Big Deal on Angie's List. We typically participate in dealsaver sites and include that our promotion is for new customers only. We would be more than happy to honor a one time mosquito control treatment for your property. I am reluctant to call as it appears that we have called you already today. If you would like me to schedule your appointment please email me at Anthony@BugsBite.com. If there is anything else I can do to assist you please know that we are here for you. Sincerely, Anthony Duncan

We have been using Mosquito Authority each of the last 3 or 4 summers to treat our entire yard. We have been very happy with the results, we went from not being able to enjoy our yard without covering ourselves with repellent to not having to worry about it at all. They are great to deal with and their product works as advertised. I will say that it ends up being a combined effort. Their treatments alone definitely work to reduce the mosquito population but if you want to eliminate them altogether you need to be vigilant in riding your yard of ALL standing water. This means keeping gutters clean and making sure they drain like they should and turning over every container the can accumulate water. The money we spend each summer is well worth it considering how dramatic the difference is between now and before we started treatments. I will also add that last summer I took advantage of a competitors free/discounted treatment and found they didn't do as good a job. The Mosquito Authority takes the time to scan your yard and turn over any standing water they see and the other company didn't do that as part of their treatment.

The treatment they spray for mosquitoes also works very well for spiders and some other pest. I have a wooded backyard and tiger mosquitoes, which are out all day. Last year was the first summer I could enjoy going outside without having to spray myself with Off. After the 1st treatment they come back in about 30 days since that is the life cycle of a mosquito. I did not have to worry about spiders on my deck furniture either. Very pleased with the service.
