Below is history of Spartan Mosquito, a pesticide manufacturer based in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The timeline starts in 2014 with the purchase of a Which Wich sandwich franchise by Jeremy Hirsch and goes to March 13, 2024, the scheduled “Fairness Hearing” for the class-action lawsuit that Spartan Mosquito settled for $3.6 million. The original timeline is here and I recommend you go to that site to enjoy the full functionality. For many of the events you can click for further information such as linked documents and websites.

Class action suit against Spartan Mosquito

61 Replies

UPDATE: The company has settled the lawsuit for $3.6 million.

AC2T, Inc., of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, is facing a $5 million class-action lawsuit for falsely advertising that Spartan Mosquito Eradicators and Spartan Mosquito Pro Techs attract and kill mosquitoes. Here’s a quote from the complaint (PDF):

“The Products are ineffective for mosquito prevention because they do not attract mosquitoes and are incapable of killing mosquitoes or decreasing mosquito populations. Defendant is well-aware that the Products are ineffective, yet sells them anyway in pursuit of profit and in clear disregard for public health and safety.”
