Door-to-Door Pest Control? That's Not Mosquito Squad

The potential perils of door-to-door pest control sales: Who are these companies?

While we cannot tell you who these door-to-door purported pest control salespeople are, we can tell you who they are not – they’re not Mosquito Squad. If you live in Greater St. Louis and have seen (or spoken with) folks canvasing your neighborhood to sell pest control services, should you trust them? We’re not familiar with other reputable mosquito and pest control companies, who sell their services door-to-door.

Not all outdoor pest and mosquito control companies are the same. Mosquito Squad of Greater St. Louis does not sell door-to-door. Our approach is such that we mean never to pose an inconvenience. When you sign up for our mosquito control services, we only show up when you expect us. We’ll call or text ahead of your pest assessment appointment and we’ll do the same before we arrive to perform your service. Let’s discuss why that matters!

The Problem with the Door-to-Door Pest Control Sales Approach

Some pest control providers (or individuals) might rely on aggressive door-to-door sales teams who canvas neighborhoods from morning to night. Sometimes, they’re inconspicuously watching homeowners arriving home from work or from a day of errands. While some of these companies may be legitimate, others leave a trail of complaints about misleading claims, pressure tactics, and unclear pricing.

Here Area a Few Potential Risks and Red Flags

  • Is it even a real pest control company? Just because someone looks like they’re out on official business, it doesn’t mean they’re a licensed, insured, or reputable outdoor pest control company.
  • Uninvited, unwanted, and repeated visits. These companies often return multiple times, even after you’ve avoided answering the door or have already told them no.
  • High-pressure sales tactics. These people will encourage you to sign up right now for a supposed limited time offer while avoiding certain questions you have or giving dishonest answers. Some “companies” even offer a canned email for you to send to your current pest control provider to break your contract with them!
  • Misleading or unverifiable claims. Terms like, “guaranteed results” or “safe for everyone” do not mean a whole lot without verifiable proof. What is their insecticide comprised of? Is it EPA-registered? How effective is it? How long will it last?
  • Vague pricing and contracts. You might not find out what you're actually paying for or agreeing to – until it’s too late.
