Not sure if appropriate to guerrilla-slap this thing up around my town at some key traffic intersections. It’s inspired by Mosquito Joe blasting my neighbor’s yard this morning.
Is my messaging accessible to the masses, and not condescending? I feel like most regular suburban yard folk would agree with all the reasons (especially getting ripped off, while we’re at it) but just don’t realize it…

Maybe change the U to You so it sounds less childish? And maybe switch “mosquito spray guy” to “mosquito poison” so it’s less of a direct inflammatory attack (unless of course you do want to piss them off intentionally)
I honestly love this as is hahaha
I’d spell out the word ‘you’.
Where can I get one? I don’t mind pissin’ anyone off.
I need one of these!
I like it, and it might also be beneficial to visualize the food chain. Like in your images have a caterpillar then an arrow then a bird then an arrow then a bigger bird, or frogs and dragonflies eating mosquitoes, flies etc.
Love your drive to help the world!
What about a tagline or more information for the folks who will say “oh but my mosquito guy uses all natural chemicals that don’t harm the other wildlife?”
If you could find a statistic to share at the bottom to help build credibility, that would rule.
Had one of those mosquito control guys with a backpack sprayer working our neighbor’s yard last month. I watched to make sure he stayed away from our property and all of our blooming prairie plants that attract pollinators.
I think you need to communicate what you want people to do instead.
I was a little confused because I was picturing some guy who walks around offering mosquito repellent (for your skin and clothes), lol!
Love it. Might suggest an additional approach that might resonate with those potential customers:
“Spraying for mosquitoes is a waste of money. Doesnt work. And awful for your environment.”
I enjoy not being devoured by mosquitoes personally
Say no to mosquito Joe!
