Why MoShield’s Application Technology and Services Work

We provide full season coverage versus selling pre-scheduled treatments
At Mosquito Shield, we focus on full season coverage, offering flexible, adaptive treatments instead of a fixed schedule.

We track mosquito activity and weather trends to customize our services for your yard. This ensures effective protection throughout the season, tailored to meet the specific needs of your outdoor space.

Our aim is to keep your yard comfortable and enjoyable, with a proactive, responsive approach to mosquito control.
We use our own proprietary products that last longer, hold up against weather, and grow in strength as the season progresses. 
Mosquito Shield uses proprietary products designed for longevity and resilience against weather.

Our unique formula increases in strength throughout the season, adapting to peak mosquito times. This ensures your outdoor area remains effectively protected with a growing barrier against mosquitoes, maintaining comfort and enjoyment.
We don’t pretend that mosquito and tick problems are the same.
At Mosquito Shield, we recognize that mosquito and tick issues require distinct approaches. While some companies bundle these services, we understand that ticks and mosquitoes thrive under different conditions and need specialized treatments.

Our targeted approach ensures that each problem is accurately diagnosed and effectively addressed with the right solution. This avoids unnecessary spraying and leads to more efficient and effective treatments, tailored to the specific needs of your yard.
We back our work up with a money back guarantee!
If you are not satisfied after your first treatment, notify us within 7 days and you will receive a full refund. If you are ever unsatisfied during the season, we will return within 48 hours and treat again at no charge.
Our technicians are trained specifically on mosquito and tick products.
We’re not just another guy with a backpack and van or a lawn care provider that will “set and forget” later. This is what we do and we take it very seriously. Not only are our technicians trained on products, they’re trained on mosquito and tick behavior as well as species identification.

That knowledge is used to maximize treatments and minimize the time taken to do it..

About Mosquito Shield of Central Massachusetts

Hi, my name is Eithne Smith, and I’m the owner of Mosquito Shield of Central Massachusetts.

The main reason I started Mosquito Shield of Central Massachusetts was that I wanted more freedom, satisfaction, and flexibility. With over 30 years of working for others, I was ready to become my own boss. I also wanted to begin focusing on helping and serving my community.

I’m Not Just a Mosquito Shield Owner

I have experience in areas including product development, customer service, operations, and education. Through my time in school, I obtained a B.Sc in Applied Chemistry and Physics from Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland, an MBA from Bryant University, and a Masters in Education Administration from Endicott College. 

This business allows me to combine my diverse background in science, business, and education. I’ll be able to operate a company that provides communities with a proven effective solution for mosquito and tick control. An effective solution that is delivered with exceptional customer service and attention to detail.

Our Philosophy

I’ve personally experienced the effectiveness of the service and reclaimed my backyard! 

I love to be outside. Mosquito Shield has given me the ability to enjoy more time outdoors doing the things I love—entertaining, cooking, socializing with family and friends, playing with the dog, and gardening. I want others to have that same experience.

I am an immigrant who came to this country from Ireland in 1987 with no family here and little money. A combination of hard work, education, opportunity, and tenacity, as well as great mentors are central to my story and journey to this point.

Now, with Mosquito Shield of Central Massachusetts, we’re proud to offer the best value, with better results and more sprays.

Our Mission At Mosquito Shield of Central Massachusetts

All mosquito control service is not the same! 

Mosquito Shield provides the best value in mosquito control services because of how we treat your yard. Using a Mosquito Shield Tailored Treatment Plan, we’ll customize our process and services to meet your needs. We don’t use a fixed schedule, identical product, “one size fits all” service program.

You can’t control mosquitoes on a set number of sprays or visits. Unlike our competition, we service you for the full season, whatever it takes to provide superior results. This promise has awarded us an industry-leading customer retention rating of 90%.

Our methods are effective because we actively monitor both mosquito population and weather conditions and adjust your treatments as needed. On average, we spray every 10-17 days, a proven and effective approach that has us spraying 4-6 more times than the industry average.

If, however, you don’t like our approach and believe it’s not working on your property, we offer a Money Back Guarantee with our Tick and Mosquito Control Services.

With us, you never have to sign a contract and we will always work to earn your trust and business. If you’re unhappy with the results after your first visit, simply notify us within 7 days and we will issue you a full refund.

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 plants, vegetables or beneficial insects be impacted?

No. 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. What about my children and pets?
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.
