Our kids hated getting bug bites when playing outside. But now Mosquito Squad allows our entire family to enjoy more time outdoors.

Erin Z.

We called Mosquito Squad last summer when our yard became inundated with mosquitoes. Not only has it allowed us to spend more time outdoors without bug bites, but their service has been wonderful. They call us before and after every spray so we don’t have to worry when we are due or if they’ve been there.

Mark H.

We had a Mosquito Squad misting system installed last summer and it has made a huge impact on our backyard. Our 11 year old, who was constantly bitten by bugs, now can play all day without one bite. He raves about it to all his friends in the neighborhood. It’s great for families who want to enjoy their outdoor space.

Note from owner:

Welcome to the Mosquito Squad of West Michigan Lakeshore home page. Mosquito Squad is a locally owned and run business which specializes in mosquito and tick removal. We have lived in Michigan our entire lives and know that summer is very short. It has been our experience with our children that mosquito repellants don't work. They would still end up with huge mosquito bites and itching until they bled. Not any more!

 Our goal at the Mosquito Squad is to give you the best outdoor experience while the weather is nice, not having to worry about those pesky mosquitoes and ticks. We will spray your yard so you don't have to spray your kids.

  The estimate is free! Fill out the form to the right and we will give you a call. Or, give us a call using the number above. We look forward to giving you and your family back your yard to enjoy all summer long!
