The product was excellent/ no sign of mosquitos and ticks all season.

The spray was effective. We did not find ticks on us from our yard and the mosquitos were limited. That was the good news. However, I stopped using them because they would come and spray on days that our windows were all open (they are not supposed to do). This occurred several times and they were not responsive to my complaints. This was very maddening as I have small children and the cost for application was very high. I expected better service. We switched to another company whose cost is much more reasonable and we lay out our own tick tubes now.

Paid 750 dollars to still have mosquitos. I called about it and they came for a respray yet the mosquitos still persisted. There is a marsh about 150 yards behind our property to maybe they don't have what it takes to compete with that, but it was definitely a waste of money.

It went well it definitely makes a difference we live near wetlands and it can get really bad but with the spraying this year we noticed a big difference. They can't get every mosquito but we noticed a massive reduction in the number of mosquitos You can actually hang out at dusk and not get eaten alive.

We have used Mosquito Squad the past two summers for mosquito prevention. The service they provide is top notch. They come once a month during the summer and provide a barrier spray around the entire yard. Our outdoor space use to be unbearable with the number of pests we use to get, now we are able to enjoy the outdoors. They email us a couple days in advance to let us know when they are coming and call when they are a half hour away. Offered discount during the winter for signing up early for current season. Will continue to use them in the future.

They were fantastic. We paid for a partial season because had somebody else at first then we switched to them. After using them, there was no mosquito at all. We re-signed with them and we have actually recommended them to other people.

They come out every spring to the end of the summer. It is $1500 per year. The treatment is 90% effective. They tell you that the pesticide works better but I don't want that sprayed in my yard. They are efficient and their product works. They are also pleasant to deal with.

I love them. The product works great. I have a very large yard and a pool and the barrier spray reduces mosquitoes and better than 90%. Very accommodating. Calls or often return within the same day. Their drivers, applicators call half an hour before they are going to the house to assure that the windows are closed and the pets are inside.

It was fine; it worked pretty well. The came every week. They always called me ahead of time to let me know when they were coming to make that the pets and children were inside for 20 minutes. They were good about that. They were pretty flexible. We did some construction in the yard and they were flexible about rearranging some of those dates when I did have people in the yard. It was expensive. They did exactly what they promised to do. They came exactly when they said they would come. They always wore uniforms and identified themselves and had an identifying truck.

The service worked out good. I don't have any mosquitoes. They did twice before, and I think they came back a third time. They were prompt, they showed up when they were supposed to, and they checked in with us to make sure that they had sprayed the whole area. They had been here before, so they knew the extent of the area I wanted sprayed, but they checked with us anyways. The service was effective, and we didn't have any mosquitoes. The interaction with them was good.

My kids can play outside after 5pm without bugs harassing them! In April, before I hired Mo Squad, my 3-year-old had two incidents of deer tick bites, and hasn't had any since. I chose this company because they come every 3 weeks; most come every 4. It makes a difference! We're so buggy that by the 21st day after the previous application in July, I loaded the kids in the minivan in the driveway one morning, and when we were about to leave, there were 4 mosquitos in the car. The spray was scheduled for the next day already, and after that, 0 mosquitos in the car. Last year, it seemed like there was always 1 or 2 buzzing around my bedroom at night; it drove me crazy. This year: nothing! And this has been a wet, rainy summer. Their office is receptive to making adjustments if you have someone doing work around your house, too.

This is the first time in the 18 years that we've lived in the house that we can sit outside at night in the summer without being bitten alive!

It is fine and it seems to work. The price is pretty reasonable compared to individual spraying. It works so the quality is good. They email when they are coming next and they follow up with a phone call the day before. We haven't had any problems. The price is good, not great. It is kind of high but reasonable for the service. This is the second year we've used them.

I have two small children and I saw the first few ticks of the season in April when playing outside with them. I called Mosquito Squad, hoping to regain the use of my yard. I was a bit skeptical at first and signed up for a season of spraying where I was billed in three installments so I could easily cancel if I was not satisfied with their service. I was amazed how well it worked. There were very few mosquitoes all summer and I can't remember seeing any more ticks. It got to the point where I would go to someone else's house and I would be surprised to see mosquitoes. I don't know why we didn't do this sooner.

Called them and they returned the call same day.
They had a busy schedule they are a new business but they fit me in less than a week.
They took my credit card information to keep the appointment and then I was charged after work was completed.
There were two men that came out sprayed the area using spray with a machine they carried around like a back pack.
They use safe chemicals no DEET.
We woke in the morning and they mosquitos were gone! Awesome!
They guarantee 85% difference and they are correct. We still have some mosquitos at night but like I said I live in a very woodsy area near a pond so I know they can't get rid of them. We will be using them through the rest of the season.
