Mosquito Terminators

Bought a Living Social deal to test out this company. We paid $ 30 for what was supposed to be something like a $ 130 treatment. Our house sits behind a rather large wooded area, meaning the mosquitoes are always out looking for a bite.
It rained the day we were supposed to be sprayed, so the receptionist called and said they would stop by our house the next day. That day came and went with no sign of the company. No one was home, so I couldn’t say definitively they didn’t show. A few more days pass and we are still being eaten alive by mosquitoes. I decide to call them 3 or 4 days after the rescheduled date. The receptionist asked if I there was any sort of invoice or documentation left at my house. Nope! They probably missed me then. She would send them out in a couple days. But what would have happened if I didn’t call? For this being a my test run for them, they failed miserably.
They did eventually spray the yard and it seems to have worked. The mosquito population is down quite a bit. I’m sure it will jump back up as the mosquitoes regroup. During this whole ordeal I was considering spraying my own yard, which it turns out they used the stuff I would have. Thing is, I would have also put down an IGR, something that stops mosquitoes from reproducing as much and destroys eggs. They had an IGR listed, but it is only used in standing water (we have none). Then again, if they reduce the mosquito population too much, they might lose business. I’ll probably end up spraying the IGR as a chaser and wait until the mosquitoes come back for another round of spray.
Overall, they did reduce the mosquito population as promised, but it took a bit of effort on my part to make sure it happened. Not exactly the best organized business, that’s for sure!
