Great service as always. Barefoot is professional, friendly, and prompt. Besides having no mosquitoes (and being able to use my backyard in peace), each appointment begins and ends with a personal interaction to make sure the job is done right- and it always is. Services: Hornet & wasp extermination, General pest inspection, Cockroach extermination, Mosquito extermination

Barefoot Mosquito is definitely the best in the area in every way. Have tried other mosquito control companies and will be sticking with Barefoot. Technicians always knock before service to ask how the service is going and if there are any trouble areas to give special attention to. Technician Alain B. has serviced our house numerous times and is always kind, courteous, thorough and always does an excellent job. Thank you Barefoot Mosquito and Alain B for the 2nd to none service you provide.

I am pleased with using Barefoot Mosquito & Pest Control for exterminating bugs inside and outside of my Houston house. I have a rambunctious 2-year old and I like how their chemicals are not as harsh as the standard commercial grade. They are also competitively priced with other exterminating companies. Any time I need them to do a respray, they are easy to contact and they come within a couple of days.
They will check to see if I have any wasp nests and knock them down if they are there. Their technicians have all been respectful and kind. I'll be continuing to use their services quarterly for years to come.

We love Barefoot! We spent years avoiding our beautiful backyard in the warmer months because the mosquitoes were unbearable. No longer an issue. Alain has been a great technician who always makes sure we are getting the service we want and is treating our property effectively.

I have been using Barefoot Mosquito for a while for general home coverage, but I had an odd ant infestation a week ago. Barefoot Mosquito quickly got me on the calendar. The technician, Chris, came out and quickly found a hidden underground nest that I was unable to find. Chris was knowledgeable and thorough and I am very happy with how this out of cycle treatment was handled.

Barefoot is the best. We have had different pest and mosquito control providers and I would recommend Barefoot over any of them. Their technicians are always knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We have Alain as a tech right now and he has been great. You always get a person when you call and they are always helpful. Their products are great too as it greatly reduced our mosquitos and we have no pests at all. I appreciate that their products are environmentally friendly as well.

When we moved to Austin a year and half ago and had to deal with the deluge of mosquitoes as well as creepy crawlies we wanted a service that was environmentally friendly and less toxic and Barefoot Mosquito and Pest Control met both those requirements. Prior to using their Mosquito control service it was impossible to enjoy the outdoors. Their pest control treatments have also been effective and on the couple of occasions when we saw activity after the treatment, they promptly came out and re-treated the affected area.
What stands out as well is the ease of reaching their support to discuss issues we might be seeing and their follow-up. Their technicians are professional and friendly. Alain B has been servicing our place and he has been excellent. Thank you!

Chris came to do the bug service and he was very thorough and polite. He was a joy to talk to as he did the bug spraying. It is very obvious he loves his job and that says a lot about this company. I highly recommend Chris at Barefoot Mosquito & Pest Control and look forward to seeing him again.

After all of this rain the mosquitos have been HORRIBLE! Zach and Starbuck did a great job on my lawn/home! I love that the treatment is kid and pet friendly, and can also be tailored to address fleas, as we have an old dog, a brand new pup, and 3 kids! I like the peace of mind of not having to worry about anyone getting sick. Thanks guys!

Started using them in March. They come out every 3 weeks and do automatic payment so I don't have to think about it at all. I've noticed a marked difference in the amount of mosquito's. My family can go outside more without getting bit. It's totally worth it.

We use them every month during the summer/fall and never get bitten. I asked my neighbors if it was ok to overspray into their yards, so I could make sure my coverage was comprehensive.

I highly recommend Barefoot Mosquito. They are all very friendly, know what they are talking about and not pushy. I have a mosquito system I have stopped using. My system is expensive, having to replace the tubing, having the system serviced at least twice a year and the "juice" is very expensive and does not last long. I've always had trouble with mosquitos at my front door and my system never could get rid of them. Guess what, Barefoot Mosquito did!!! They can give you a price over the phone.and their fees are based on the footage of your yard. Give them a try, you will be glad you did, I did.

After one treatment (two days ago), there has been a SIGNIFICANT and VERY NOTICEABLE difference in the highly infested area of the yard. After not being able to step foot in my yard without spraying my body with deet EVERY single moment I went outside (I'm one of those people who is HIGHLY susceptible to consistent multiple mosquito bites),
I have since seen ONE mosquito
and it was flying away from the yard.
The smell of garlic is NOT as noticeable as I had expected (according to other reviews). It is definitely there, but not as strong as one would expect after reading other reviews.
Plus, it dissipates slowly within 48 hours.
(it smells like garlic bread and has only made me crave spaghetti)
The chemical did NOT permeate the outdoor table cloth or material that was left outside during the treatment. Very satisfied and terrific customer service!

5 stars and a thumb's up from this satisfied customer! This is a company that really seems to care about us and our home. I've really appreciated how friendly EVERYONE at Barefoot Mosquito is, too! From speaking with folks over the phone to in-person conversations with the guys who take care of our house, I feel like we're in the very best hands. I like that I am getting the services that we want (which are also safe for us & animals), not what the company wants - meaning that I don't feel like we're getting pressured to have a "million" different services that end up costing us a lot of money.

A professional company that is on the leading edge of mosquito treating technology - I highly recommend you ask them about their natural formula. If I am not mistaken, they developed their formula themselves. I am impressed with their level of industry knowledge and care for the environment. A great pick for anyone tired of mosquito bites. These are the kind of people we all want servicing our homes.

They are GREAT! I have an acre yard with a lot of trees and shrubs. We could not enjoy our beautiful back yard because of mosquitos. They would attack us even in the pool! I called Barefoot out of desperation but really didn't think it would work. IT DOES!!!!! I have been a satisfied customer for over 2 years. Not only does it work but they are professional, respectful and very polite. Give them a call you will not be disappointed.

Barefoot mosquito has been absolutely amazing from the start. We love the fact that we can enjoy our new yard without being eaten alive. I recommend them to anyone and everyone. Maybe I can get my neighbors to spray and we will have a mosquito free neighborhood. Here is to wishful thinking.
