Hi everyone,
My wife and I are planning to call the Mosquito folks tomorrow to sign up for the service and let them know how many others from the neighborhood will be calling to set up their own services.
So far, i have three other households who are interested (219, 222, and 228), bringing the total to 4. Remember, if we get 5 or more, we get 100 dollars off per family, bringing the cost of standard treatment to 300 for the whole summer.
Please let me know if anyone else is interested, and I'll call Mosquito Squad tomorrow to let them know of our neighborhood arrangement.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello all,
I just spoke to Terry Selba over at Mosquito Squad of D.C. He said if more than 5 families in the neighborhood sign up for the service, they can extend a neighborhood discount of 100 off dollars per family. So it would take the cost from 400 dollars for the standard seasonal treatment package to 300 dollars. Plus, each family can choose a different type of spray - so if you want to have the all-natural treatment (which is 535, or 435 with the neighborhood discount), that's fine, and others can still have their yard treated with the standard treatment. As an added bonus, if you sign up and make your payment before March 31, we can get an additional 10 bucks off per family.
Also, it doesn't sound like this needs to be all that coordinated - each family is on their own payment plan and chooses their own treatment as I said. We just need to let them know who is in and where our neighborhood is, and then each family can call separately, reference our neighborhood plan, and set up their treatment plan.
More information on the various treatments, visit their website here:
Terry was exceedingly helpful - and as you can see on their website, the company has some excellent testimonials and comes highly recommended by Angie's List. But if you would like to contact Terry directly with your questions, he can be reached at tselba@... or you can call their main line and ask for him, 571-830-8002.
I think we are definitely going to sign up for the standard treatment (which by the way is also safe for pets, kids, and plants - they just recommend your kid/ pet not stand out there while they're spraying or something and give the treatment about 30 minutes to set before going out to play and roll around).
Let me know if you decide to join us, and i'll call them before the end of the week and tell them we have X number of families interested in the 200 block of 11th St/ Gessford Court area, and that they should expect each person to call to set up their treatment. Just remember when you call to let them know we are entitled to a neighborhood discount.
Happy to try to answer any additional questions you may have - otherwise, you have the necessary contact info for the experts at D.C. Mosquito Squad.
Mike
