Our standards.
Useful information, clear sources and a clear line between help and advertising.
1. Free help comes first
The Free Help Finder helps people discover local public mosquito programs. Searching the directory and reading our guides are free. Advertising does not determine which public program appears in a search.
MSQTO is an independent website. It is not a government agency or a mosquito-treatment provider.
2. Sources and limitations
Our editorial approach prioritizes official public-agency information, published research and product labels. Manufacturer descriptions and claims should be attributed to the manufacturer.
The directory is a starting point, not a guarantee of service coverage. ZIP codes can cross agency boundaries, and services can change. The agency should confirm your address, eligibility, available services and any charges.
Where a page provides a source or review date, use it to judge the age of that information. A dated snapshot is not a live feed. We do not promise that every entry is complete or that every phone number or service has been independently tested.
3. Product information
Our shop presents selected products and links to the brands’ websites. A listing does not mean MSQTO has personally tested the product, verified every manufacturer claim, or guarantees its performance.
When we use a label such as “Brand best seller,” it refers to the manufacturer’s description of that exact product. It does not mean the product is the best-selling item across the whole market or on Amazon.
Retailers set prices and availability and handle checkout, payment, shipping and returns. Always read the product label and directions before use. No product guarantees complete protection from mosquito bites or disease.
4. Corrections
Spotted a wrong number, missing agency or unclear claim? Send a correction with the page URL and an official source when possible. We review reported issues and update information when the correction is supported. Review and response times vary.
5. How we plan to support MSQTO
Free public-help searches bring people to MSQTO. Our business plans have three parts:
Advertising
We are inviting mosquito-control companies and relevant product brands to discuss paid placements. Any paid placement will be labeled “Advertisement” or “Sponsored.” An ad is not an independent recommendation or a government endorsement, and payment will not change public-program results.
Product sales
Shop links currently take you directly to the brand or retailer and do not earn MSQTO a commission. We plan to earn commissions through approved shopping relationships. If those become active, we will disclose the relationship alongside the shopping links. We do not currently accept orders or payments ourselves.
Future data products
We may develop products based on public information and aggregated trends. This is a future business direction, not a current data offering. It does not mean selling visitors’ names, emails, phone numbers or appointment requests.
We do not sell personal information. See our Privacy Policy for how information submitted to the site is handled.
