Where Do Mosquitoes Hide? Most of us know to watch out for standing water. Where else should we look? • • • • • •
Landscape drainage catch basins Ivy and heavily shaded areas Clogged gutters and downspouts Tall grass and thick bushes Tree holes or hollow places in trees Leaves and brush piles
If you have any of these in your landscape, you may require professional help to alleviate mosquitoes. Each of these can lead to breeding mosquitoes on your property. Rex and the girls enjoying a Mosquito-Free backyard.

Testimonial
“Mosquito-Free has kept our kids and pets bite free! It’s so nice to let the kids go out and play without having to spray them down first. The guys are great, and I love supporting a local, small business.” — Kelly U.

When Chad realized the mosquitoes were so thick in his yard that he couldn’t play ball with his kids without first drenching them in bug spray, he knew he had to do something. At that time, he hadn’t heard of options for mosquito control. “Unbeknownst to me, Jody, who is my cousin and lifelong friend, had begun the process of getting trained in mosquito control,” Chad said. “Ultimately, I was one of his first customers. When Jody treated my yard, I was absolutely blown away by its effectiveness. Over the next year or two, we had numerous conversations about starting a company. Finally, in 2016, we made the plunge.” Business has grown so much in the past five years, the pair has gone from two men and a truck to five guys and five trucks. Chad credits their success to his customers, who have shared their story, liked their posts, and referred them to neighbors and friends. Chad hopes the next five to 10 years will see the same growth pattern, but he is confident that they will never will lose that personal touch and exceptional service.
