Think Twice Before Trusting a Door-to-Door Mosquito Control Pitch

From groceries to electronics, Newton residents take advantage of many delivery conveniences. But what about an unannounced mosquito control sales pitch?

Knock, knock! It’s not your neighbor or a pizza delivery. It’s someone trying to sell you mosquito pest control. Again. Yes, we said it – again!

While door-to-door sales might seem like a convenient way to get help with mosquitoes, ticks, or other outdoor pests, the truth is this approach can raise many red flags. Before you sign up on the spot, let’s take a closer look at the potential pitfalls, and why Mosquito Squad of Newton is the mosquito control company you can actually trust.

Door-to-Door Mosquito Control Sales: Are There Hidden Risks?

Some purported pest control companies operate by sending sales reps to canvas neighborhoods like yours, very often returning repeatedly to your doorstep. We must remember that a uniform and a smile do not make a reputable mosquito control company. We’re not here to say never trust a stranger at your door, but due diligence is necessary when you’re approached by salespeople.

Here are some things you will want to watch out for:

  • Are they even with an actual licensed mosquito control company? If they cannot produce credentials, show them the way out.
  • What’s with this unannounced visit and why aren’t they going away? Be very suspicious of anyone that repeatedly knocks on your door or refuses to just take no for an answer.
  • Are these claims even possible? If you wonder if their claims of 100% mosquito eradication or that their formula is safe for kids and pets, ask for verifiable proof. If they cannot produce it, dismiss them.
  • Why can’t they tell me how much their service is? If they’re selling mosquito control, whether a single treatment or a season-long regimen, and they can’t tell you the exact cost – do not buy in or sign anything.
