If you have mosquitoes (or are concerned about them) on your property, you may need to look into a mosquito control service in Cincinnati. These pests are not only a nuisance, but a legitimate threat to your family’s health.
If you’ve started researching mosquito control, you’ll know that there are many options out there. Should you go with the well-known company you’ve heard of before? Or should you go with a local company?
We know it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by all the information available when choosing a mosquito control service. We want you to be able to get the most out of your lawn while making a smart purchasing decision, so we created this guide comparing two popular options: Mosquito Joe and Oasis Turf & Tree.
We’ll look at some key points of comparison, including:
Understanding these three areas will help you get a better idea of how to choose a mosquito control service. But, as with any home service, it’s also important to do your research and get to know the company you’re considering well.
Big name versus local business?
When comparing Mosquito Joe to Oasis, the size and structure of the business is a big difference. Mosquito Joe is a local franchise that is part of a larger company. It started as a single location in the Virginia Beach area, but has since grown into a franchise system. They have over 100 franchises across the country.
Mosquito Joe recently became a “Neighborhood Company,” which markets itself as a “family of home service brands” comprised of thousands of home service franchises.
Oasis Turf & Tree, on the other hand, is not a franchise nor is it under any kind of collective ownership. We are a locally owned and operated company that is dedicated exclusively to this area.
The faces you see on our website are the real people who work at our company.
There is nothing wrong with the franchise model. Large, nationally backed companies have a lot of powerful resources, especially when it comes to things like marketing. That’s why they often become “household names.”
But it definitely means a different way of doing things. Domestic franchises usually have to follow a set way of doing things. They have established “systems and processes” that are replicated over and over again.
At Oasis Turf & Tree, we focus on tailoring our program to the region and our specific clients. We are really focused on customization.
We also believe it is important that lawn care is tailored to the local region and its nuances.
Lawn Care Company or Pest Control Company for Mosquito Control in Cincinnati?
When exploring mosquito control services in Cincinnati, you’ve probably noticed that there are typically two types of companies in this segment: lawn care companies that offer mosquito control and pest control companies.
Many lawn care companies incorporate mosquito control as they are already treating the green areas and grass near the property. Additional mosquito control services have been very popular in this industry over the past 5 to 10 years.
Your lawn care company likely already knows your property very well, so this makes a lot of sense.
Oasis Turf & Tree fits into this category. If you look at what Oasis has to offer, our services include lawn care, tree and shrub care, outdoor pest control (including ant, flea and tick control, perimeter pest control, and mosquito control services), aeration, and overseeding.
One of the great benefits of working with a lawn care company is that you have access to all of these other in-house services.
Mosquito Joe, on the other hand, focuses solely on pest control services.
According to their website, they offer mosquito control, flea control, perimeter pest control, tick control, and stink bug control. They do not offer lawn care services, although other companies under the Neighborly brand do.
Comparison of approaches to mosquito control
One big difference between Oasis Turf & Tree and many mosquito control companies is that we use a truck-mounted system that applies larger liquid droplets, which are much less likely to disperse. This can make a big difference in effectiveness.
As a result of this approach, we can target very specific areas of your property where we know mosquitoes are most likely to spend time seeking shelter while waiting to feed.
Most mosquito control companies use backpack blowers to distribute the products. This opens up the possibility of greater dispersal. A blower may be more prone to having the materials blown away by the wind. That means the product may end up in unintended areas, such as your neighbor’s property, in swimming pools, and on windows.
How to Make the Right Choice for Mosquito Control in Cincinnati
As we mentioned, it is also important to do your due diligence and research the companies you might be considering for mosquito control.
Oasis and Mosquito Joe are not your only options. There are other lawn care companies and franchises that offer these services. In the end, you need to choose a company that you are confident will meet your needs with your best interests in mind.
Once you make that wise choice, you will be able to enjoy more time outdoors without being bothered by these pesky pests.
