      About Mosquito Shield of Greater Maryland

      At Mosquito Shield of Greater Maryland, our goal is to provide the best mosquito control service with the highest levels of customer service, allowing our customers to enjoy their yards, homes and time with family to the fullest.

      This greater Maryland mosquito and tick control location has three owners, Darron Cooper, Keith Burns, and Michael Curry. All three owners live in the Greater Maryland area and have for some time after relocating from the Southeast many years ago. They are excited to service Montgomery County, Howard County, Prince George’s County and a portion of the District of Columbia with residential mosquito controls services since they have all lived or spent a tremendous amount of time in the area and appreciate all it has to offer.

      Darron, Keith and Michael all bring unique and extensive business expertise to their new pest control business. Darron previously served in both the economic development space within the City of Baltimore for several years as well as in real estate development to provide housing for the working class and those in need. 

      Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, Keith was an attorney providing compliance and corporate legal oversight and advice for a top-tier financial organization and a well-known law firm. Upon becoming an entrepreneur, Keith has served in multiple capacities including a President and Director of a medical physics company and co-founder of an investment enterprise.

      An entrepreneur at his core, Michael began his career as an investment-banking analyst before eventually moving into a role as an MBA associate. He has also served in several leadership capacities, including CEO and a Director of a medical physical company and co-founder of an investment enterprise. 

      They say, “It was important to us to find a business that resonated with us and allowed for the delivery of a great solution paired with excellent customer service to help improve the lives of our customers. Being a parent also established new sensitivities for the health of little ones, especially Darron, whose son had significant reactions to mosquito bites as a baby and toddler, making it very difficult for him to enjoy being outdoors at home without the fear of being bitten. Finding a mosquito control service solution in greater Maryland that helped foster an enjoyable environment for him to relax and play in was incredibly important for the family – we are sure the same holds true for yours.”

      We want to have a great reputation for service with our Mosquito Shield customers and we are committed to meeting and exceeding customers’ expectations and becoming the most trusted and recognized solution for mosquito and tick control services in the greater Maryland area. We look forward to hearing from you!

      FAQs About Mosquito Control
      What other insects will this effect?
      What other insects will this affect?
      Arrow

      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.

      Will the product kill plants, vegetables, or beneficial insects in my yard?
      Will the product kill plants, vegetables, or beneficial insects in my yard?
      Arrow
      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
      Will your product work after storms?
      Will your product work after storms?
      Arrow
      Yes, we have specifically engineered our formula to outlast storms. With a special polymer layer that provides weather resistance, our formula will remain effective.
      Is there any environment you cannot treat?
      Is there any environment you cannot treat?
      Arrow
      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.
      Does this product work on all mosquitoes and ticks?
      Does this product work on all mosquitoes and ticks?
      Arrow
      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.
      Will the product harm my pets or children?
      Will the product harm my pets or children?
      Arrow
      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.
      When can I start to see the effects?
      When can I start to see the effects?
      Arrow

      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.


      Why do we see more mosquitoes after it has rained?
      Why do we see more mosquitoes after it has rained?
      Arrow
      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.

      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.

      Without rain, puddles and water decrease, leaving less room for mosquitoes to breed.
