What Mosquito Shield Is and How It Works

Mosquito Shield® is a professionally applied mosquito spray that kills and repels mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests.

What is in Mosquito Shield Spray

We’ve spent 20 plus years, the longest in the industry, developing our own blend of all-natural oils for our mosquito control products
Mosquito Shield® uses proprietary spray technology to maximize effectiveness.  
Our proprietary blend creates a three-pronged approach that kills, repels, and masks attractants to keep mosquitoes off your property.
We monitor both mosquito population and weather conditions and adjust our location based program as needed. 
By continually improving our formula and servicing your yard 2-3x more than competitors, we can deliver superior results and satisfaction. 

How Mosquito Shield Spray Products Work

Everyone knows the saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The same is true with our approach to the use of mosquito control products.
Mask
Female mosquitoes are attracted to the scent we emit. Our mosquito proprietary blend has been specially formulated to mask it and other mosquito attractants. Once our proprietary blend barrier is up, your property will be actively avoided.
Repel
As treatments are performed, a vertical barrier is established which strengthens with each mosquito control service visit. This will protect your yard from any unwanted guests.
Kill
Any mosquitoes living around active areas of the home will be killed on contact with our mosquito proprietary blend. We train our technicians to target these areas so we can maximize the effectiveness of the spray.

Mosquito Shield has given my family the freedom of peace to allow my toddler/pet to play in the yard and not have to worry about ticks. To me, that is priceless! Did I mention, my toddler could go play just 10 minutes after the spray?! We believe in the quality of the service, the peace of mind it provides that it works & the freedom to use the yard just minutes after a spray. I am so thankful for Mosquito Shield and that our yard is mosquito and tick free for the spring/summer time. 💓

I found out about mosquito shield through my line of work. I talked to the owner about his business and decided to give it a try. From the beginning, they’ve had professional communication and scheduling. So I always know when they will be coming to spray. We were getting torn up by mosquitos. After the first 3-4 treatments, there has been a SIGNIFICANT difference. We can finally enjoy the outside without getting hit by a mosquito every 30 seconds. Their product and technique actually works and the owner did a great job of explaining the product. Highly recommend to anyone that is having mosquito issues. This is a modern way of killing mosquitos without the harsh chemicals. 100% worth the value since these guys come every 10-14 days. You pay once and you are good for the summer! Thanks again -a happy customer

Frequently Asked Questions

01. What other insects will this affect?
We use an insecticide so other insects present when and where we spray may be impacted.

However, our formula was specifically engineered for mosquitoes so it won’t repel any other insects as it does mosquitoes.
02. Will the product kill plants, vegetables, or beneficial insects in my yard?

We are incredibly conscious of what we do and realize how it can impact our environment if applied erroneously. That’s why our technicians are trained to recognize:

  • Plants
  • Vegetables
  • Beneficial insects like pollinators
03. Will your product work after storms?
Yes, we have specifically engineered our formula to outlast storms. With a special polymer layer that provides weather resistance, our formula will remain effective.
04. Is there any environment you cannot treat?
Yes, there are some areas we won’t spray to protect the surrounding environments. Pools, natural water sources, vegetable gardens, and artificial water sources complete the list.

Because water could easily spread the insecticides, we never directly apply our product to it. However, the rest of the property can still be sprayed and it will drastically reduce the population of mosquitoes.
05. Does this product work on all mosquitoes and ticks ?
Yes, we target aspects of mosquitoes and ticks that don’t change from species to species.

The killing and repelling aspects of our product will work on any species of mosquitoes and ticks .
06. Will the product harm my pets or children?
Pets and children should be inside during each application. However, they can re-enter the property once the product has dried, roughly 10-15 minutes.

At that point, there are no restrictions until the next application.
07. When can I start to see the effects?
Every yard is different but you should notice a dramatic reduction within 24-48 hours of the initial spray.

With each subsequent treatment, the results continue to improve, allowing you to enjoy time outside without being chased in by swarms of mosquitoes.
08. Why do we see more mosquitoes after it has rained?
Mosquitoes are more abundant after it rains because standing water is where they breed.

Adult, female mosquitoes will lay their eggs in water. Once fully submerged, the countdown begins and the eggs can hatch in as little as a few days.
