Event Shield is a one-time mosquito control service designed for outdoor events in Knoxville, ensuring your guests enjoy your event without annoying mosquitoes and ticks. Our technicians apply a quick-drying spray that forms a barrier around your event space, targeting areas where mosquitoes breed and gather, so you can enjoy your celebration without the nuisance of bites or buzzing.
Mosquitoes are killed on contact, and the virtual barrier stays active throughout your event, ensuring effective coverage.
Our spray dries within minutes, leaving no lingering smell or visible residue, so your event remains undisturbed by chemical odors.
Event Shield provides effective results, letting your guests relax without the nuisance of mosquito bites during your special event.
Our Event Shield service is specifically designed for outdoor gatherings, providing a barrier that prevents mosquitoes from disrupting your plans. We use our Mosquito and Tick Proprietary Blend (MTPB), which kills mosquitoes on contact and keeps them out for the duration of your event. Whether your event is large or small, Event Shield ensures mosquitoes and ticks won’t be on the guest list.

In the rolling hills and wooded greenways of Knoxville, ticks are more than a minor annoyance — they’re a seasonal concern that can affect both people and pets. Common in shaded areas, tall grass, and leaf litter, ticks thrive in the humid Tennessee climate, especially during the spring and summer months. As Knoxville residents enjoy time outdoors — whether it’s walking trails in Ijams Nature Center or relaxing in their backyards — tick bites become increasingly likely.
At Mosquito Shield of Knoxville, our exterior-focused tick treatments are designed to reduce tick activity around your home. We concentrate on known tick hotspots, such as yard edges, tall grass, and shaded landscape beds, using targeted treatment applications that work over time.
Humid summers and mild winters allow ticks to remain active much of the year
Abundant wooded and brushy areas provide ideal habitats
A large wildlife population (deer, raccoons, rodents) keeps the tick cycle going
Bites may lead to skin irritation, itching, and allergic responses
