How Many Years have you been in business?
Mosquito Authority has been offering a Mosquito Free Guarantee since 2002. We are excited to provide treatments for Decatur this season for the first time!
What Motivates you?
Our sense of family values and community involvement are some of our biggest motivators. We believe in in building a strong local base, then growing from there. We have twin boys that we are very much hoping to pass these core values along to.
How does the Chamber help you?
The Chamber has become an instant support system providing opportunities and resources for growing our small business.
Surrounding ourselves with the people that make Decatur’s heartbeat has been reassuring that we are in the right place.
What’s an interesting fact?
We provide treatment every 21 days, which is the approximate lifespan of a mosquito. They go through several cycles, and each one is treated differently. That is how we can offer the “Mosquito Free Guarantee”
Freezing temperatures will kill some adult mosquitoes, but eggs that were laid prior to the freeze are not killed in the cold.
Only female mosquitoes bite.
Do you have any advice for new business owner?
