There was a dramatic difference immediately after the spraying, with no noticeable mosquitoes walking the property with the technician after completion of the job. Today is day 5 after spraying and we are still mosquito free. We even spent time outside this weekend, grilling on the patio and playing with our dog, and no mosquito bites. I do notice a stray mosquito here and there, but it's still dramatically better than before, when our yard was unusable. It will be interesting to see how long this application lasts. I do realize that effectiveness of the spraying depends on the rainfall amount. The technician also told me that the spray kills mosquitoes on contact. They must land on a treated area to be killed. Anyway, we are satisfied at this point; we at least enjoyed a mosquito-free July 4th weekend, and hope the effect lasts much longer.
Description of Work: We are having a terrible problem this year with mosquitoes. Just stepping outside momentarily would leave us engulfed by mosquitoes, and usually headed quickly back inside. It was impossible to work in the yard without a liberal application of a DEET containing repellent. We were unable to enjoy our yard, and our dog seemed just as miserable. We found The Mosquito Guy online and called them for an estimate. The quote was $375 for a two spray package, roughly 30 days apart. Our property is roughly 2 acres, with about two thirds of an acre consisting of lawn. He also sprayed down a buffer zone well into the wooded part of our property.

They were fantastic; I loved them. They called back to make sure everything was good and that we were satisfied with their work; we were. They came back one time and we were outside by the pool with my daughter and they came back the next day because they couldn’t spray with all of us out in the yard. They were just awesome.
Description of Work: We used The Mosquito Guy for pest control last June. They sprayed our yard for mosquitoes and ticks. They did two sprayings a couple weeks apart.

One word to describe the product: disappointing and expensive for what you get. I wanted to have our yard sprayed prior to having a family gathering over the Forth of July. We were told that once it was sprayed it will protect your yard and family from ticks and mosquitoes for at least a month but we would need another spraying in approx 1 month to protect for the rest of the season. However, it happened to rain prior to the weekend and the mosquito "bloom" was terrible. Once the sun went down everyone was forced inside. Several in my family commented on the "terrible mosquitoes" at different times, not realizing that we had sprayed. I was embarrassed and upset because it affected our gathering and forced us inside which is what I was trying to prevent. My parents live less than 3 miles away and have a similar layout in their yard and the mosquitoes problem for them was better than ours and they didn't spray. We had also paid extra to have the yard sprayed for ticks because it was such a bad season but 2 days after the Fourth (despite being so late in the season) my daughter had a tick that was crawling on her while she was in the yard. I called the company and to their credit they came out immediately, however they stated that "there is nothing that we can do because when it rains and a mosquito bloom occurs, the mosquitoes must land on the product to kill them. It doesn't affect the flying ones which is likely what happened at our gathering." I found this disheartening in that you pay for the protection but if it rains, you WON'T be protected. He did express concern about the tick problem being that they do stay on the grass surface and should not be alive. He thought that the initial spray was not done correctly (new employee) and he resprayed. I was concerned why it was sprayed incorrectly and if the other spray had also not been done correctly but he thought it was. As a result when they called 1 month later for the 2nd spray (we had paid for the whole season) we politely declined because we were disappointed in the product and they did reimburse us $140 of the $370 that it cost. They were very polite and prompt but we were disappointed in the product and felt a little taken by the fact that they don't warn you a head of time of the possible lack of effect should it rain or a "bloom" develop prior to an event. As a side note, the rest of the summer the mosquitoes were never a problem (at our house or our parents) despite not respraying

The service is effective, but a bit pricey. Each application works for about one month. Application was very complete--covered both the lawn and trees and bushes surrounding our property. Service was prompt and reapplicaton was right on schedule. Owner and personnel were good to work with. Would use again and would recommend service to others.

If the bugs come back early, you can call them again and they will come out and spray again. They have done good work and it’s been a good experience.

He did a good job. He was very prompt. He came out and sprayed everything. It was before a party. I think he sprayed twice and I haven’t mosquitoes since. He was on time and he did what he said he would do. He did what he said. He was also thorough. He checked back. I will use his services again in the future.

Their customer service is very nice. They get back to you very quickly. The guy who came out was on time and he worked nicely. We didn’t have any problems with them. I felt that they were a little pricey, but I didn’t check for other companies. So I wouldn’t be able to comment much on their price. They did a nice job as well. I would definitely use their services in the future too.

We were very pleased with them and we found it to be super effective. We get our yard and summer back, instead of staying indoors or spraying our kids. They say that it is not bad for you, so I hope that is good.

The product worked great. We went from not being able to be in our backyard for more than a couple of minutes to being able to sit for hours and not having a bite. Our friends and neighbors were amazed with the results.
Description of Work: Treated our property for mosquitos. Sprayed twice. Once in July and once in August.
