[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you who use mosquito squad despite the sock puppeting:

You say "oh yeah, the sock puppeting is bad, but..." does it not concern you that if a company is that deceptive on a website, that its employees are sock puppeting (and from the amount of times it appears to happen on many websites, not this one, my guess is that it is systemic and encouraged by the owners), the company might be more inclined to cut corners, lie to the customers in other ways (because that's what they are doing - lying to customers and potential customers, and no less), or otherwise behave as they have led you to expect they'd behave? Are you concerned that if you have a complaint with this company, they will treat you with as much respect as they've treated these anonymous people on a website? That they might SAY they've fixed the problem but haven't, really?

Are you home when they spray? If you're paying for the natural service, are you SURE they're not using pesticides? How would you know? (The pesticides are cheaper, btw). If you're asking them not to spray your children's toys, are you SURE they are not spraying that? Are you SURE they're doing what they're supposed to do?

You have nobody but yourself to blame if you're getting more chemicals than you bargained for from this company, or chemicals in places you don't want chemicals, etc. There have been a number of posters who have complained on these forums that Mosquito Squad people have come to their house and routinely just spray indiscriminately, without waiting for the homeowner to close windows, spraying down children's play equipment, etc.

And you trust these people to spray your house / yard / belongings with toxins? [/quote]

+1 from NP.  Our neighbor sprayed their yard for mosquitoes, though I don't know if they used MS.  I'd never actually seen spraying, but the guy had this huge blower and it was going all over the place due to the force.  It covered walkways, windows, yard toys, was floating into the air on top of the car parked out front.  Her kid got very sick, and I realized that it was right around that time.  It could very well be from the spraying.  We bought an antique piece of furniture once and when they delivered it, my son broke out in hives.  It smelled funny, so I think they had sprayed or cleaned it with something.  When I took my kid to the doctor, she went through a list of questions that included "have you brought anything new into the house."  Bingo.  There was a post here a while back about how a woman in this area got really sick after having her home sprayed for bugs.  I think the whole argument about us surviving toxins doesn't correlate.  There are so many more environmental toxins now than in the 70s, and our processed food wasn't as processed.  I can't believe that people will tolerate MS sock-puppeting--that's telling our corporations to misbehave.  Crazy.[/quote]
