Ben was here today to do lawn fertilization and weed control. I watched on my security cameras and Ben did not provide 100% coverage of my lawn(skipped the corners. I am a very unhappy customer. Either the Barefoot people get back out here and finish the job or I’m going to fire another bad fertilizer/weed control company.

This is the first time I received mosquito prevention, so on the effectiveness I cannot comment at this time, but David was my technician and he was very personable while we talked. He informed me of precautions for myself as well as my pets. He was quick and efficient. Hopefully, this treatment will work. Mosquitos love my blood!!!!
Update: I had to have a redo. The mosquitoes were heavy in both front and back, but I wanted to continue to try to control them. Unfortunately, I haven't been out because of all the rain but I haven't seen many hanging around the patio door as before. We shall see.
07/10/2026 - Logan came to do both pest and mosquito control. He was very polite, efficient and personable. The mosquitos have been plentiful, so hopefully, with this new service, they will stay away for a little while. He checked in before and after completion and let me know to wait 30-60 minutes before I let the pets out. Always good to know!
07/31/2016 - I received the mosquito service today. I'm not sure if it's the solution or the dog-gone awful heat that keeps them away. Either way, they are away for now. Tyler was quick , friendly and efficient. Thanks so much!
8/26/2026 - Jesse provided the mosquito service today. I did not have any interaction with him, but looking back on my cameras, he did a complete and thorough job. Love to keep these pesky critters away! Thanks so much for a great job!
10/28/2026 - Armando provided the last service of the season for Mosquito Control for us. He was very friendly and efficient. He advised about waiting 30 minutes before letting my pets outdoors. I am very happy with their service and highly recommend Barefoot Mosquito!!
