About Mosquito Squad
Founded in 2005, the company utilizes a barrier treatment method to manage outdoor pests in residential yards and commercial spaces. Its service menu includes seasonal mosquito control, tick and flea protection, and one-time sprays for outdoor events. The franchise operates as a mobile, service-based model that does not require a retail storefront. Technicians apply treatments to property perimeters to manage pest populations and provide ongoing protection throughout the season.
