Mosquito Squad of Southeastern Massachusetts

Yard spraying for mosquitoes and ticks is the heart of this business, and on Google it holds 4.9 stars from 642 ratings. The company's website lists a service area that includes Acushnet, Fairhaven, Fall River, Freetown, Taunton and Wareham, and says it has been in business 14 years. southcoasttoday.com has named it Best Pest Control. One customer, now in a ninth year with the company, says the treatments make a significant difference in the number of mosquitoes in a big yard with lots of trees, and help keep ticks in check where deer regularly pass through. A customer who added rodent prevention after two years of mosquito and tick service says they come back with no hassles if a concern comes up. A customer with a good-sized wasp nest on the house says they got on the schedule quickly to have it removed. A customer who needed a spray a week earlier than planned says they were put right on the schedule and had a mosquito-free weekend. The routine gets close attention from one customer: the week's service is debited from a bank account two days ahead, the remaining schedule is shown, and a visual of that day's technician is sent. The same customer says they encourage additional services but are not pushy. A 2022 customer described an email the day before with a two-hour window, a text with the tech's photo 15 to 20 minutes before arrival, and a receipt left on the front door afterward. A customer says the owner once showed up to address a question. A reviewer with honey bees next door says a crew sprayed next door in winds of 20+ MPH, with spray blowing over flowering plants, after being assured they would not spray in windy conditions. A reviewer who raises honey bees says they sprayed in the neighborhood during 20-30 mph wind gusts and that calls to the company got nowhere. One customer says they still have a significant mosquito problem despite being assured the whole property is covered. A customer whose yard was sprayed says gnats were still a problem afterward and that they now just show up instead of giving notice. One customer calls the price a little high.
