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

Hi all,

My wife and I are considering contacting the Mosquito Squad of Greater D.C. to see about getting our patio area sprayed over the course of the summer. We have heard great things, so thought we'd look into it. Is there any interested in the Gessford Court area/ 11th St 200 block in trying to get a group rate? The more of us who do the mosquito spraying, the better for the whole neighborhood!

Here is some pricing information:

Standard Seasonal Treatment Package - $400*: Treatment every 21 days, weather permitting, using our traditional solution provides consistent 85%-90% protection against mosquitoes and adult ticks all season long.

Premium Seasonal Treatment Package - $535*: Treatment very 14 days, weather permitting, using our traditional solution provides outstanding protection all season long. This is perfect for those with extreme mosquito problems.

Natural Seasonal Treatment Package - $535*: Treatment every 14 days, weather permitting, using our 99.3% natural garlic solution. Our natural solution provides a 60%-65% reduction in the mosquito populations calling your yard home.

So sorry about the theft. We had Evelyn and David's commuter bike stolen downtown a few weeks ago.? Who steals a bike with a child safety seat?!?? It's so hard to have to tell kids that people can be so mean.
We reported our theft to the police. No expectation of recovery but if they have accurate crime data it may influence how the allocate resources.

Liz -- I'm so sorry to learn that your kids' bikes were stolen yesterday (Monday).? Did you report the theft to the police??Whatever the chances are that your kids' bikes will be found, the information may prove useful in recovering the bikes and/or solving your case or other thefts.

Thanks very much for letting us know.? So that they are aware of this recent theft, I've copied our neighbors on the 200 block of 11th Street, SE, and our neighborhood's?ANC?Commissioner Brian Pate.

I doubt anyone will find these but my kids' 10 speed bikes were stolen yesterday from our back parking "patio" area. ?We are at 250, have an old gate that needs repairs and a lock, and although the kids' bikes were locked to a pole, the lock was cut and the back gate was hanging open. ?The bikes are only useful for kids between 8-10, since they are so small.

My kids are upset and I just want them to feel safe in our house and in our neighborhood.
