Pest Control, Pest Management, or Extermination?

Posted by Mosquito Squad

March 17, 2025

Do these three pest-related terms all mean the same thing?

If you are dealing with pests around your home or business throughout the Hartford area, Mosquito Squad can help. Does that make us a pest control, pest management, or extermination company? Are there differences between the three?

Pest Control Cheshire CT, What Does This Service Include?

When you hire Mosquito Squad of Hartford for Cheshire pest control, you will receive – well, obviously pest control. Our services focus on the areas outside homes and businesses to reduce the number of pests in outdoor spaces but also help allay pest infestations inside.

Mosquito Squad of Hartford’s outdoor insect control services consist of an initial, complimentary pest control assessment and quote. During this visit, our experienced and trained technicians will put a keen eye on your property to identify potential pest hotspots, offering advice about breaking them up and keeping them from reforming. After their comprehensive assessment, your technician will formulate an adequate plan of action that is tailored to your specific requirements.

Mosquito Squad’s outdoor pest control services, such as tick control, mosquito control, and flea control are scheduled two to three weeks apart for season-long protection. These services typically span the spring, summer, and early fall seasons.

Does Mosquito Squad of Hartford Offer Pest Management?

Yes, we do! Through our Mosquito Squad Home Shield® pest control package, you will receive all the services mentioned above. Since this service fights a wide variety of pests, with the aim of keeping them away from homes, a few types of pest control items might be required. This includes traditional barrier mosquito treatment, drenches for mound-building pests, and pest baits.

What brings Home Shield into the realm of pest management is our continued monitoring, to keep an eye out for potential pest issues that pop up. Monitoring for pests might include six or eight visits to your property throughout the year – more than the industry standard, which is two to four times.

Is Mosquito Squad an Extermination Company?

The focus of exterminators is removing pest infestations or the presence of pests during treatment, without future treatment or monitoring. While our pest control treatments, like our traditional barrier spray, do get rid of pests immediately, we differ from the typical extermination company. This is because our methods of pest control leave residual efficacy, and we return in rotation to treat and/or monitor, to provide ongoing pest control and deterrence.
