    About Mosquito Squad of Hartford-Springfield: We are a family run business based in Agawam, Massachusetts.   In our family, we have a lot of young kids and spend a lot of time outside.  The mosquitoes and ticks can be annoying, but even more worrisome are the diseases they carry.   For us, this business made a lot of sense to protect our families and others in the area who want to enjoy their yards without worrying about these pests.  All of the products we use are applied by our licensed technicians and are non-toxic for people, pets, and wildlife as applied in accordance with the label.
