Try Mosquito Squad and Start Enjoying Your Yard Again!

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

This spring and early summer brought Austin TX lots of rain drops. Lake Travis is now 85% full and rising! The last 5 years have been a drought and with that we had very few mosquitoes bothering us.

Our 2015 rains brought out mosquitoes in droves and the best way to combat them is calling Mosquito Squad! We have a pool and enjoy our family coming over to swim...we don’t want them bitten by pesky mosquitoes!!

Earlier in the season we called for service and it rained 30 minutes after they sprayed. Mosquito Squad offers a 100% guarantee and after our call they happily came out and sprayed again 2 days later free of charge. We are now on a plan with them for every 2 weeks and we are thrilled with no mosquitoes!

There sign is posted in our yard and we encourage you if plagued with mosquitoes this year to give them a call. Their trucks are easy to spot and their workers are polite and courteous! When they say: no bugs… no bites…no kidding! They are right!!! And if you refer someone to them you receive $25 off your next visit as well as the new customer! Can't beat that!!

Good morning, Dorie -- in areas where mosquitoes are an issue, a service like Mosquito Squad would be most appreciated.  Nice shout out to them and I believe Barbara Todaro is likely to reach out to them and begin their new nation-wide marketing and franchise plans.

Dorie Dillard Timely post. Last evening even with all the prevention the mosquitoes were out in full force. Part of living here in Southeast Louisiana.

Good morning Dorie. Sounds like you found an answer to the problem. I wish they were here, I'd call them.

Dorie,

Oh so delighted you have a way to get rid of those pesky creatures. The only time we have mosquitos in CA is when someone's pond or water feature has not been populated by mosquito fish...A

Dorie, I'll bet many will be singing your praises passing this VERY HELPFUL hint onto others (and Mosquito Squad ought to be darned pleased about this free advertising).

That is DEFINITELY one of the questions that comes up a lot being on a lake. I can always tell the folks who've grown up around lakes in Michigan, because they always get a somewhat panicked look just before asking, "How bad are the mosquitoes here?" I'm happy to say that we just don't experience that around here!

Years ago, while living in another city, we had Mosquito Squad spraying our yard. They were wonderful and we never saw any mosquitos. I wrote a post about it too.

When we moved I wanted to use them but they don't cover our area. My husband seriously considered buying a franchise but licensing is a problem that is not easily resolved and it never happened.

Dorie, I am so glad you have found something that works and this is a great shout out for Mosquito Squad! I spray my yard all the time and really should look into something like this.

Hmm, wonder if they have a branch out here in north Florida... There is a mosquito truck that will go through town every now and then, but I'm way out in the sticks.

That company would have been really handy a couple of weeks ago.  My yard seemed overtaken by mosquitoes.  However, I tossed a new crop of goldfish into my pond, and they took care of the problem in a hurry.  The fish are ferocious eaters of mosquito larvae!

Dorie I am a mosquito magnet.  When I am around no one has to be worried about getting bit by a mosquito, they all come after me :)

Hi Dorie.  Is the Mosquito Squad a franchise?  I hate mosquitoes.

Nothing more annoying than mosquitoes. And when it rains a lot it is only a matter of time!
