We’re the only company in the industry that reacts to mosquito behavior. Without a set schedule, we can adapt to your yard's needs and the mosquitoes around it.
On average, we visit every 10-17 days to ensure a mosquito-free lifestyle.
Our special blend began 20 years ago and we continually evolve it to maximize effectiveness.
Science created our formula, and science continues to adapt it so it remains the most effective spray in the game.
All of our technicians are trained in environmentally smart practices. They target active mosquito areas and are taught the signs to recognize them.
This means less overall spraying, more dead mosquitoes, and a healthy ecosystem in your backyard.
If you’re not happy with our services, let us know. We’ll work hard to make it right, including offering a service call spray if needed.
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.
At Mosquito Shield of Chattahoochee Valley, our goal is to provide the best mosquito control with the highest levels of customer service, allowing our customers to enjoy your homes and time with family to the fullest.
Owners Andrew and Gabby Barrs are a husband-and-wife team that met in Atlanta and now live in Columbus, Georgia, where Andrew was born and raised. Andrew will be focused on the business finances and strategy relying on his prior experience in other businesses and Gabriela has a deep passion for people and children which complement her focus on the relationship/customer and marketing side. They plan to do the spraying on their own until they get a customer base capable of supporting their first technician.
Andrew has lived in Columbus his entire life with the exception of his time in college at the University of Alabama and 1 year in Atlanta working (now remote) for WestRock (formerly known as Mead West Vaco[familiar name for those in Columbus]). Gabriela lived in Recife, Brazil before moving to the US 3 years ago, spending half of that time in Atlanta and the rest in Columbus. They are adjacent to one of the largest military training bases in the country known as FT. Benning and Columbus is the furthest point you can travel if you sail up the Chattahoochee River from the Gulf of Mexico.
Andrew has always worked in corporate finance, but he was a customer of the mosquito control industry and could only find services that wouldn’t come often enough or services that would come often but their product did not work. They are hoping to solve that problem and provide the Chattahoochee Valley the service it deserves. Gabby and Andrew also see Mosquito Shield as a way to improve the lives of their customers and help them enjoy their time with family at home. Gabby has a huge passion for families and can light up any person she meets. Her people-skills will be a major asset to our business as we execute our growth strategies.
One of their favorite local restaurants is Salt Cellar, a place known for their incredible steaks and cheesecakes. They also enjoy visiting the River Walk which is a massive walking path along the shore of downtown Columbus and the Chattahoochee River.
When asked what attracted him to Mosquito Shield, “We were attracted to the brand and the team behind it all (The seasonal aspect of the business was a huge plus as well). Our goal is to set the first-year record for new customers in a territory and replace ourselves as the first techs so that we can focus on growing our business and become the market leader in mosquito control in our territory. Our main goal is to provide a service experience worthy of 5-star reviews from our customers. Our next goal is to get to a customer base that can support two vans by the end of the season. We have a stretch goal to set the record of customers gained in a first full season as well.”
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.
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.
