Mosquito & Tick Away

Mosquito & Tick Away treats yards for mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and deer from a base in Mansfield, covering the South Shore, Boston and southeastern Massachusetts. It describes itself as family owned and operated, offers both organic and synthetic applications, and prices a first season from $393 with free same-day quotes and 24-hour emergency service. Google publishes 4.9 stars from 47 ratings. What sets the reviews apart is how consistently they describe the same two habits. The first is advance notice: customer after customer says the crew calls or texts before arriving so pets can be brought inside. A February 2026 customer with dogs wrote that they always call ahead; a June 2025 customer with a dog and cats called the servicing 'super flexible' for the same reason; a June 2024 customer surrounded by woods with two dogs reported zero ticks and specifically appreciated the advance notice. A May 2025 customer with four dogs added that the crew closes the gate on the way out. The second is coverage. A June 2023 customer with almost an acre bordering woodland described the hydraulic spray equipment reaching thirty feet past the yard into the treeline, with no ticks spotted since. A February 2026 customer confirmed a three-to-four week visit cycle as promised; an August 2024 customer said extra treatments were added when the weather called for them. A May 2024 customer noted the sprayer keeps clear of their vegetable garden on request. Longevity in the customer base is unusual for this trade. Multiple reviewers report five or more continuous years, and a September 2024 customer wrote that after contracting a rare tick-borne blood disease before hiring them, nobody in the household has been bitten since. The one dissenting account is worth naming. In July 2023 a customer wrote that the service had been bad that year, that they were not being told when the crew was coming, and that they had told the company to stop coming. That is the mirror image of the praise everyone else gives, which makes it worth confirming how notifications will reach you before the season starts. For a wooded or pet-heavy yard in the Mansfield–Foxborough–Easton area, this is one of the better-evidenced seasonal spray programmes around. Ask about organic versus synthetic, what the first-season price covers, and how many visits you get.
