Mosquito Control Services in Southern DE: Mosquito Shield of Southern DE

Why Mosquito Shield?

Best Value

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 The Mosquito Shield Tailored Treatment System™. We don’t use a fixed schedule, identical product, “one size fits all” service program.

Better Results

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

More Sprays

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.

Our Guaranteed Protection Plan kills mosquitoes and begins the critical process of establishing a protective barrier on your property. Our proprietary Mosquito Protection Blend™ is applied around all active areas such as decks, patios, pools, swing sets, etc. We actively monitor mosquito populations and weather patterns and return to your property approximately every two weeks. Our proprietary Rain Shield™ is added for improved protection during wet weather conditions which allows the barrier to remain in effect. The protective barrier (assuming no applications are skipped), gets stronger as the season progresses.

Our Tick program is based on the same tireless work and effective science behind our mosquito control protection plan. This intensive Tick program was developed specifically to eliminate them within your property. In a process similar to that described for Mosquito Shield, our tick formula is applied to all turf, wood lines, and landscape beds around your property to effectively kill ticks within those areas.

How Mosquito Shield Works

Meet The Franchise

At Mosquito Shield of Southern DE, 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 Brad & Kristi Sutliffe moved to Lewes, DE in 2017 after living on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Having visited Lewes many times on family vacations we fell in love with the charm and relaxed feeling of living in a small close knit beach town. They often joke that they should have made the move sooner and wonder how they ever lived away from the beach.

Brad grew up in New England, ultimately moving to the Eastern Shore when he was in High School and where he would meet Kristi. He has been in the insurance industry for close to 20 years. Brad is constantly looking at ways to challenge himself and grow. Kristi grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with a background in marketing and feels fortunate to have been able to stay at home with their 3 children, Nate, Emme and William for the past several years.

Brad & Kristi are total foodies, and the Southern Delaware community is not lacking on amazing locally owned restaurants. To name a few, Heirloom, Agave, Blue Hen, Patty’s, Stingray, you can’t go wrong with one of the 18 Sodel restaurants. They also love visiting Cape Henlopen State Park, which is their happy place! From drive-on surf fishing, walking their favorite trail on Gordon’s Pond, fishing on the fishing pier and frisbee golf there truly is something there for everyone. The best part, they continue to unearth new places at the State Park.

During the summer months, you will find our family boating on the waterways of the Delaware Bay and Indian River. One of the most exciting things we’ve joined as a family has been Freedom Boat Club. During the early spring of 2020 before the pandemic hit we joined and haven’t looked back. We were able to use this outlet during the pandemic to feel a sense of normalcy.

Brad’s experience in the insurance world translates very well to Mosquito Shield. He understands the importance of delivering strong customer service in building a book of business. At the end of the day, in small communities your service is what stands out. When asked what attracted them to Mosquito Shield, “The initial appeal for our family is being able to help others take back their outdoor spaces. The countless times we’ve gone to a playground or dined outside and said, the mosquitos are eating us alive, no matter how much bug spray. Mosquito Shield of Southern Delaware will have an April through October operating window which is extremely appealing as we are looking long term. The team that makes up Mosquito Shield is incredible, the question for us quickly became, why wouldn’t we want to work with these people?”
