Yard Protectors Mosquito & Tick Control treats yards for mosquitoes and ticks. The company says it uses a plant-based product and has been in business 22 years, and its website lists a service area that includes Acton, Alfred, Biddeford, Buxton, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Lyman and Old Orchard Beach. Its Maine pesticide applicator licence, CMA-6115, held under the name Yard Protectors, is active on the state registry. On Google, it holds 5 stars from 12 ratings. In a 2022 review, a customer said another company's two visits brought no improvement; Carl from Yard Protectors came right out, and after one treatment there were no more mosquitos or ticks. A 2024 customer whose yard is surrounded by woods said Carl monitored the weather to propose changes in the timing of monthly treatments. A 2023 customer wrote that Carl used a spray-applied formula that worked much better than fog-type applications. In a 2023 review, a customer said Carl always called the day before he was to come. A 2023 customer who paid Carl in advance for a season of tick and mosquito treatment said he texted before his services. A 2023 customer who switched from a major lawn and pest provider said Yard Protectors cost a little less for the mosquito and tick service.
The absolute best, definitely recommend!
Carl is professional, communicative, and most importantly when it comes to mosquitos and ticks--EFFECTIVE. We (including our dog) can use our yard, which is surrounded by woods, all throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Carl cares about results, monitors the weather to suggest changes in the timing of monthly treatments, and is just an all-around pleasure to work with.
So happy to have switched to Yard Protectors for the outdoor, 2023 season, and all set for 2024! Carl is always on time, thorough, & absolutely no ticks, or mosquitoes! We can enjoy the outdoors!!
Carl at Yard Protectors has been amazing to work with over the past few years that we have utilized their services. Mosquito and tick treatment has been a game changer for us! We are very pleased with the services we have received and will continue to utilize Yard Protectors in the future and will recommend them to everyone we know.
Carl was very professional. He always called the day before he was to come to make sure it was OK. If I was not going to be home, I just left the check in an agreed upon location. He is very reliable.
