PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga.  |  As a mom of three living in Gwinnett County, I know how important it is to have a backyard that feels like an extension of your home—a place where your family can unplug, play, and enjoy time together. But like many families around Atlanta, we struggled to enjoy our outdoor space thanks to relentless mosquitoes. That’s what led me to GeoMosquito and eventually, to becoming a co-owner of the company.

I originally hired GeoMosquito as a customer. I wanted something that worked but didn’t involve spraying harsh chemicals all over my yard, around my kids, pets, and garden. That’s when I met Geoff Krstovic, the founder of GeoMosquito, and as it turns out, someone with a personal connection to our family. Geoff actually grew up in the home right next door to the one my family now lives in. He’s not just a local business owner, he’s part of the neighborhood.

Before starting GeoMosquito, Geoff worked for one of the large national mosquito control franchises, where he was trained and gained deep expertise in mosquito behavior and treatment. While there, he pushed to develop a safer, more sustainable approach using essential oils. However, his ideas never gained traction with upper management. So he went out on his own. He took everything he learned and started crafting his own eco-friendly solution from scratch—something that would protect both people and the environment. And he found that it worked.

GeoMosquito is a small, locally owned company that’s shaking up the pest control industry. We don’t use harsh synthetic chemicals like the big national companies. Instead, we use a proprietary blend of essential oils that effectively kills and repels mosquitoes while being safe for kids, pets, pollinators, and the planet. Our solution smells great, dries quickly, and doesn’t leave a sticky residue or chemical odor behind.

We serve families all across the Atlanta metro area. From Alpharetta to Decatur, Sandy Springs to Marietta, we’re helping homeowners reclaim their outdoor spaces and enjoy them without worrying about bug bites or chemical exposure.

What really drew me in, beyond the effectiveness, was the mission. Our tagline at GeoMosquito is “Live Life Outside.” We believe your backyard should be more than just a lawn.  It should be a place where your family puts down the screens, connects with nature, and makes memories together. Whether it’s roasting marshmallows, playing tag, or just enjoying a glass of wine on the porch, these moments are worth protecting.

As a parent, it feels good to stand behind a company that prioritizes safety, family time, and sustainability. As a business partner, I’m proud of the service we provide and the results our customers see after just one treatment.

If you’re looking for a mosquito service that actually works and aligns with your values as a parent, homeowner, or just someone who loves being outdoors, I invite you to give GeoMosquito a try. You won’t find another company like us. We’re local, passionate, and we guarantee results.

Make the 2025 outdoor season your family gets to “Live Life Outside.”
