I signed up for Mosquito Marys services sometime last year and they were great. However, this year their treatments have been inaffective. I have had technicians pull up to my house and not perform the service but charge me as if they did. That was resolved and a week later they sent someone else out. I have had a large amount of mosquitos still present even days after their treatments and only seemed to be getting worse. I even spoke with a technician about the issue and pointed out areas of concerned and he said he would spray and they were using a new chemical mix that works better. Well it didnt. I would be outside for no less than 10 minutes and would come in with multiple bites. I expressed my concern and simply asked for my last 3 treatments to be refunded as they were not working and also cancelled my membership. While waiting for approval on the refund I received an email telling me the refund was denied because they performed the treatments in a timely manner negating the fact that they werent working at all. I decided to get my bank involved as I did not receive services promised or satisfactory and during the dispute they decided to charge me again rather then resolving the claim with the bank and charging me an additional for a total of $89.99. I am simply asking for my last 3 treatments plus the fees to be refunded and to move on. This refund is $63.99 x 3 plus the fee they added of $25 for my claim.Business Response

Dear ****,
We appreciate your communication regarding your recent experience with our services, and we take your concerns seriously. After conducting a thorough review and considering all the facts, we would like to address the issues you've raised.
Firstly, we apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the effectiveness of our treatments this year. We value your feedback, and it's important for us to ensure that our services meet your expectations. However, based on our documented communication history and the information provided, it appears that there was no prior communication from you indicating that the treatments were not meeting your expectations. This makes it challenging for us to address the concerns effectively.
Regarding your request for a refund for the last three treatments, we understand your perspective, and we want to work towards a fair resolution. However, we have taken into consideration the circumstances surrounding the dispute with your bank. As you mentioned, a chargeback was initiated by your credit card company due to a dispute filed on your behalf. In such cases, a fee of $25 was assessed as a result of the chargeback process.
We want to ensure that we address your concerns comprehensively and fairly. While we are unable to refund the last three treatments at this time, we would like to invite you to reach out to our customer service team to discuss any remaining questions or concerns you may have. We are committed to providing assistance and clarification as needed.
Once again, we appreciate your communication and apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced. Our goal is to maintain transparency and fairness throughout the resolution process. If you have any further questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team at ***************** Email/Phone Number].Sincerely,

Dear ******,
We appreciate your feedback regarding your recent experience with our mosquito control services, and we understand your concerns. We take customer feedback seriously, and we want to address the issues you've raised in a transparent manner.
Firstly, we apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding regarding the expected outcomes of our treatments. Our goal is to provide effective mosquito control, but it's important to note that the effectiveness of mosquito treatments can vary based on several factors, including the severity of the mosquito population and the timing of treatments.
While we aim to reduce mosquito populations significantly, it's important to clarify that we never claim to completely eliminate all mosquitoes, as it is virtually impossible to achieve a 100% reduction. Our approach is to reduce mosquito populations to a manageable and more comfortable level, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor spaces.
We apologize if there was any miscommunication or unmet expectations regarding the number of treatments required to achieve the desired results. It is true that when starting our treatments later in the mosquito season, it can take up to three treatments to notice a significant difference in mosquito activity. Mosquito populations can be resilient, and it may take some time for our treatments to fully take effect.
Regarding your request for a refund, we understand your frustration, and we apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced. We appreciate your patience in giving our treatments a fair chance to work. While we cannot issue a refund at this time, we are committed to working with you to address your concerns and ensure that you receive the level of service you expected.
We value your business and take your feedback seriously. If you have additional emails or information you would like to share, please feel free to do so, as it can help us better understand your specific situation and improve our services.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we look forward to working with you to find a resolution that meets your satisfaction.Sincerely,

Mosquito Marys showed up and sprayed my yard when they were told I would not be using there services anymore. I informed them via telephone and via email which they wrote back and confirmed my desire not to use them. After many calls and chasing them they sent me an email on April 27 telling me they would send a refund as they debited my checking account. I have called 3 times since asking to speak with a manager and the representative lies and says I will have someone call you back. They are a very sneaky and not be trusted company. I want my refund of $64.00.Business Response
