South Shore Mosquito & Tick Control

South Shore Mosquito & Tick Control works one job, over and over, for the South Shore and Cape Cod: keeping backyards usable through bug season. Customers hire them for a barrier-spray program against mosquitoes and ticks, most opting for the organic version, and describe the operation — run by Ben and a small crew — as a family-owned, locally run business. The track record is deep: 201 reviews since 2021 across four sources, with Google alone showing 233 ratings at a nearly perfect 5 stars and 83 new reviews in just the last six months, none negative. The history isn't one-off, either — plenty of customers are on their third, fourth, or ninth season. The specifics repeat: yards near woods, marshes, or vernal pools that used to be unusable at dusk now get sat in without a bite. One customer says they haven't seen a single tick since starting service eight years ago; another, in year nine near heavy woods, counts one tick total. When ticks or mosquitoes turn up mid-season anyway, several describe the crew coming back to re-spray rather than waiting for the next scheduled visit. The catch is that almost everything known about this company's reputation comes from one place. BBB lists the business at an A+ grade but shows no customer reviews of its own, and no other review platform surfaced meaningful feedback here — so there's no second independent read to weigh against the Google numbers. For a homeowner near woods, marsh, or standing water who wants a season-long barrier-spray program with an organic option, this is a well-worn, consistently reviewed choice. Worth confirming which spray tier — organic, hybrid, or conventional — fits the property, and how quickly a mid-season reapplication actually gets scheduled.
