Hey there! Erin Rhatigan here — and today, I want to talk to all my neighbors in Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Marietta, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Peachtree Corners, Duluth, Decatur, and Chamblee.
Let’s have a real conversation about something that sneaks up on us every spring and hangs around all summer — mosquitoes.
More specifically: who you hire to handle them.
I’ve been on both sides of this — first as a frustrated customer, and now as a co-owner of GeoMosquito. And let me tell you, I’ve learned a lot along the way.
So Here’s How I Used to Handle Mosquitoes… and Why It Wasn’t Working
Like most folks, I started by just calling the same company that handled my indoor pest control. You know — the ones who do the quarterly sprays, take care of ants, roaches, and the occasional mouse.
They offered to “add on” mosquito treatment for a little extra. Sounded easy, right?
But here’s the thing: the results were hit or miss. I started to notice something — the quality of the mosquito service really came down to who the technician was that day. Sometimes great, sometimes… not so much.
And meanwhile, I was still getting eaten alive in my backyard.
The Big Realization: Mosquitoes Deserve a Specialist, Not a Side Hustle
What I learned (after more bites than I’d like to admit) is this: pest control companies treat mosquitoes like an add-on. It’s not their focus. They’re juggling everything from termites to squirrels, and mosquitoes get the leftover attention.
That’s when I found GeoMosquito — a company that really focuses on mosquito control.
And let me tell you, everything changed.
Here’s What Made GeoMosquito So Different (And Why I Joined the Team)
The moment I switched to GeoMosquito, I could tell the difference wasn’t just in the technician — it was also in the solution they used. The treatment itself worked better, lasted longer, and targeted the right areas.
Here’s what stood out:
- Our techs actually walk the yard and identify problem areas — not just spray a quick perimeter and call it a day.
- We use a different formula — more effective, and still safe for kids, pets, and pollinators.
- Our entire team is laser-focused on mosquitoes. That’s it. No distractions. No bundled services. Just outdoor comfort, done right.
Whether you’re in Alpharetta with a big backyard, in Roswell near the river, or tucked into a shady lot in Dunwoody, we know how different every yard is — and we treat it that way.
Quick PSA: You Can Totally Unbundle Your Pest and Mosquito Services
This is something I wish I’d known sooner — you have every right to unbundle your mosquito service from your main pest control company.
Here’s what you can do:
- Ask for a line-item breakdown of your bill — see exactly what you’re paying for mosquito treatment.
- Cancel just the mosquito part of your service — you’re not locked in.
- Bring in a specialist — like GeoMosquito — who focuses on outdoor mosquito control.
If you live in Marietta, Johns Creek, Duluth, or anywhere in the Atlanta area, you’re not stuck with “bundled” treatments that don’t really work.
Bottom Line: You Deserve Better Than a One-Size-Fits-All Approach
Mosquito season in Georgia is no joke — and if you’re spending time outdoors, you deserve to enjoy your porch, deck, or backyard without swatting every few seconds.
I used to think all mosquito services were the same — now I know better. The right technician using the right solution makes all the difference. That’s what I found at GeoMosquito, and it’s what we bring to every yard we treat.
So if you’re tired of wasting money on mosquito services that don’t work — or just want to enjoy your yard again — give us a shout.
We’re local, we’re focused, and we’re here to help.
