Welcome to Mosquito Shield of Dulles - our family-owned business, serving the Dulles, VA area, including counties like Loudoun, Fairfax, Winchester, Prince William, Frederick, Clarke, and Fauquier, as well as the surrounding areas. Our geography is predominantly woodsy, with many developed neighborhoods featuring shaded yards, which creates an ideal environment for ticks and mosquitoes. Ticks are a major concern here, particularly with the high prevalence of Lyme disease in the area.
This is a family-friendly community, home to many young families and pet owners who are concerned about mosquito and tick bites. It’s also an extremely ethnically diverse area, shaping a vibrant and unique community we are proud to serve. Living in a four-season region means that early spring mosquito control applications are critical to reducing mosquito activity throughout the summer, while fall treatments play an equally important role in preparing for the following spring. We are dedicated to helping customers understand the value of full-season treatments, as many residents opt for partial-season applications and may not realize the long-term benefits of a proactive approach.
We are a proud division of Meadows Farms Nurseries & Landscape, a trusted name that has been serving this region for over 60 years. As a family-owned and operated small business, we take immense pride in delivering personalized service tailored to the unique needs of our community. Our staff focuses on reducing mosquito activity and enhancing outdoor comfort, helping you enjoy your yard without the constant worry of pests.
When you choose us, you are choosing a local business with deep roots in the Dulles community, a commitment to excellent customer service, and a reputation for delivering reliable results. We’re here to make your outdoor spaces enjoyable and comfortable for every season.
We use an insecticide, so other insects present when and where we spray may be impacted.
However, our formula was specifically engineered for mosquitoes and to prevent mosquito bites, so it won’t repel any other insects as it does mosquitoes.
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:
Yes, we have specifically engineered our formula to outlast storms. Our formula will remain effective with a special polymer layer that provides weather resistance.
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 can easily spread insecticides, we never directly apply our product to it. However, the rest of the property can still be sprayed, drastically reducing the mosquito population.
Yes, we target aspects of mosquitoes and ticks that don’t change for a specific tick or mosquito species.
The killing and repelling aspects of our product will work on any species of mosquitoes and ticks.
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.
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.
Mosquitoes are more abundant after it rains because standing water is where they breed.
Adult female mosquitoes lay their eggs in water. Once fully submerged, the countdown begins, and the eggs can hatch in as little as a few days.
In 2001, we pioneered residential mosquito control with a proven and effective approach. We have spent the last twenty-plus years perfecting our tailored treatment system. We’re so confident in our results that we’ve backed them with our Unconditional Money-Back Guarantee. 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 seven days, and we will issue you a full refund.
