Meet The Mosquito Shield of Rhode Island Franchise
Welcome to Mosquito Shield of Newport, Rhode Island. Mosquito Shield is setting the industry standard for residential mosquito control and and tick control services by utilizing a proprietary blend of natural oils, select control products and a flexible spraying schedule that maximizes effectiveness.
The Mosquito Shield company was founded in Massachusetts in 2001 in direct response to the absence of an effective and affordable mosquito control barrier spray. The company developed a patent pending mosquito barrier spray that when started in the early spring lasts for weeks and grows in strength as the season progresses.
The Rhode Island mosquito control franchise was established in 2013, with longtime Massachusetts resident Eithne J. (EJ) Smith taking the helm in 2022 to grow and develop coverage of this innovative mosquito and tick control solution in Bristol, Middlesex and Worcester counties within Rhode Island.
“I see Mosquito Shield as a business that truly addresses an important need in the Rhode Island community. I’ve experienced the effectiveness of the mosquito control service and reclaimed my backyard! I love to be outside.” said EJ Smith. “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.”
“From a community health perspective, there are growing concerns about mosquito-borne West Nile and Triple E viruses, and many families in the Newport area community have already been impacted by tick-borne Lyme Disease. Our Mosquito Shield and Tick Shield services have been enthusiastically welcomed and we are committed to using them to improve the quality of life of families in the communities we service in Rhode Island.”
EJ brings a unique background to the Mosquito Shield of Rhode Island franchise with over 30 years experience in areas including product development, customer service, operations and education. She has B.Sc in Applied Chemistry and Physics from Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland and an MBA from Bryant University. In addition she holds a Masters in Education Administration from Endicott College. “I am excited to combine my diverse background in science, business and education to operate a company that provides Newport and Rhode Island communities with a proven effective solution for mosquito and tick control services that is delivered with exceptional customer service and attention to detail”
