How likely are homeowners to hire a mosquito control service?
Not very, by their own account. Glen Burnie households fit the wider pattern here: mosquito Squad's own 2016 survey of U.S. homeowners, conducted by TNS Global, found only 7% describing themselves as very likely to hire professional mosquito control; that is an intention, not a purchase, and the provider-sponsored poll did not publish its sample size. Local conditions in Glen Burnie, Maryland can differ from the survey population, so confirm the specifics with an on-site inspection.
How many homeowners do nothing about mosquitoes?

Before comparing Glen Burnie quotes, note this: in the 2016 Fight the Bite survey conducted by TNS Global for Mosquito Squad, roughly one U.S. homeowner in eight (12%) reported doing nothing in the yard about mosquitoes; the provider-sponsored poll did not report how many people it surveyed. In Glen Burnie, ask providers to put the number of visits and any re-treatment terms in writing before work begins.
