It sounds like a Marvel movie hero. Instead, Mosquito-Man is
a popular Crofton firm bent on ridding the world — or at least a
shore-lined slice of it — of the flying, biting insects that menace
backyard barbecues.
Each summer, Mosquito-Man serves nearly 2,000 clients, from
homeowners to businesses to private schools, with synthetic or
organic sprays to shoo the pests so prevalent in water’s-edge locales.
A mom-and-pop enterprise with a staff of five, it thrives on personal
service and customers who know their technicians by name.
“We send [techs] on the same routes to spray, so they know which
homeowners own dogs, raise bees and have koi ponds,” general
manager Cora Sunagoowie said. “People appreciate that.”
Ticks have also been on the hit list since owner John Rivers
contracted Lyme disease “and made it part of his mission to try and
prevent it in our area,” Sunagoowie said.
On the desk of her office sits a mosquito figurine made of old auto
parts, a kitschy Christmas gift from her colleagues.
“It’s very, very unique,” she said. “I guess I’m the Mosquito-Man
woman.”

pest control company in Anne Arundel County. PHOTO BY BARBARA HADDOCK TAYLOR
