Frequently Asked Questions
Mosquito-Control & Tick-Control Services
Mosquito Control
Will Mosquito Squad kill all the mosquitoes and ticks on my property?
No service can offer 100% protection from every mosquito and tick. As you
can imagine, a mosquito from a neighboring property can wander into your
yard and bite you before feeding on the treated foliage. However, you’ll
find that the presence of mosquitoes and ticks is enormously reduced.
If you don’t see a reduction in mosquitoes and ticks, you can get
a respray based on our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Does the all-natural spray kill mosquitoes and ticks?
Not necessarily. The all-natural product, is designed to repel mosquitoes
and ticks, rather than kill them.
Will the smell of the all-natural spray repel me?
You’ll be able to sense a non-intrusive botanical fragrance after
the application that will dissipate soon after.
Can I get the all-natural treatment as a barrier spray?
Yes, but since it is a repellent, we know that it must be applied every
14 days to remain most effective.
Should I rely on the information in this site to determine if I have a
vector-borne disease?
Definitely not. We do not purport to be a medical authority, nor do we
claim to have complete lists of symptoms, diagnostic data or treatment
information. You should contact a health care professional immediately
if you suspect a vector-borne disease.
Besides professional mosquito control treatments, are there steps I can
take to protect my family from mosquitoes and ticks?
Yes! You can learn about them on our
mosquito and
tick pages, as well as at the
Centers for Disease Control.
You certainly have a lot of facts and statistics on your website. Where
did you get them all?
As pest control professionals, we stay current on rules, regulations, and
facts regarding insect life, diseases and control. The information on
this website has been gathered from our professional experience and from
credible sources, such as state agricultural and health departments like the
Centers for Disease Control and the
National Institutes of Health. However, much of the science on vector-borne disease and pest management
is continually developing. There are contradictions from source to source
and even within sources. We have made every effort to present what we
believe to be the most current, most widely accepted facts, but keep in
mind that things change faster than we can update, and conflicting scientific
opinions exist.
Barrier Spray
How can the barrier spray continue to kill mosquitoes for 21 days?
Mosquitoes will feed on plant juices. When they attempt to feed on sprayed
leaves, the residual from the spray will kill them.
Can I get the standard barrier spray, rather than the all-natural spray
for my automatic misting system? *
Yes. Contact our professional technicians to learn more about the different
options we deliver.
Additional Services
Does Mosquito Squad provide any other treatments besides the sprays?
Yes. Recommended treatment will depend on the needs of you particular property.
You may need a larvacide,
tick tubes, or other preventive measures. Your Mosquito Squad representative will
make specific recommendations. (Please note that different states have
different rules regarding treatment and licensing, so it is impossible
to provide specific answers via this worldwide website.)
Does Mosquito Squad service commercial accounts?
Definitely! We service restaurants with outdoor seating, parks, recreational
facilities, and many other outdoor spaces. We are happy to serve businesses,
organizations, municipalities and government agencies.
Can I just get a one-time treatment for a special outdoor party?
Yes. We have
special event spraying available for everything from a small birthday party to a huge wedding
reception. Special event treatments are provided 24-48 hours before the
event and will remain effective even if it rains.
Service Coordination
Who refills my automatic misting system? *
You can contract our Mosquito Squad technicians to service your system.
You never need to lift a finger!
Will I know when Mosquito Squad is coming?
Yes. We alert you at least 24 hours in advance of a scheduled treatment.
That gives you plenty of time to reschedule if it is not convenient.
Do I need to be home for the treatments?
No. And we’ll leave a notice so you know we completed the service
you asked for.
Consultations and Estimates
Does it cost me anything to meet with a Mosquito Squad professional?
No! You can arrange for a free consultation and estimate with absolutely
no obligation whatsoever.
Dread Skeeter
Dread Skeeter is kind of cute. Is he based on a real person?
Dread Skeeter is not based on any single person. He is a representation
of the passion we have for protecting our neighbors from the dangers and
annoyance of disease-carrying, blood-sucking bugs.
*Misting systems are not available in New York.
