Our service helps protect our customers, their pets, and children from these diseases and provides an alternative to citronella candles and spraying chemicals on their skin and clothing to prevent the bites of mosquitoes. We perform recurring services and offer all-natural and synthetic solutions. We service the entire Metro East area of St. Louis and entering our 4th season in 2019. We expect our customer base to grow significantly this next season and the years to come, increasing our staff, offering more hours and potential for career advancements.
