Mosquito Spraying Portage

If you’re tired of contending with annoying mosquitoes every time you go outside your home, have you considering mosquito spraying? Portage, MI homeowners often deal with mosquitoes throughout the warmer months, from early spring through late fall, typically until the temperature dips below 50 degrees. Until then, homeowners often contend with annoying mosquitoes that can cause itchy bites and spread diseases. The Mosquito Shield service offers the best way to kill mosquitoes and to prevent more from entering your property and proliferating.

Things to Know About Mosquito Spraying in Portage, MI

Many people rely on cumbersome and ineffective methods for controlling mosquitoes, such as citronella candles and torches, insect repellant sprays, or even mosquito netting. However, these methods may only offer temporary relief for a small area of the outdoors around your home. Citronella candles have small range and only repel mosquitoes to a certain extent, and insect repellant requires consistent reapplications and often carries an unpleasant odor and a greasy feeling on the skin. For all of these methods, the results are variable.

Mosquito Shield offers a better way to solve the mosquito problem on your property with our highly effective mosquito spraying. Portage homeowners no longer need to worry about itchy, aggravating bites. Our spray can kill mosquitoes that carry infectious diseases like West Nile Virus, Zika, malaria, and Yellow Fever.

Our Process for Mosquito Spraying in Portage

When you sign up for the Mosquito Shield service, one of our vector-trained technicians will arrive to meet with you within a few business days. Your technician will inspect your property and locate the most likely breeding grounds for mosquitoes around your home and answer any questions you might have about the process.

Mosquito Shield involves a three-pronged attack against the mosquito population around your home:

1. First, we perform a CO2 masking procedure that makes it difficult for the mosquitoes living around your home to detect the CO2 you exhale. CO2 exhalation is how female mosquitoes locate warm-blooded creatures to bite. Female mosquitoes require blood nutrients to produce eggs. If you notice a mosquito bite, you can assume your blood just became fuel for a female mosquito to breed even more mosquitoes!
2. The second step is to establish your mosquito barrier using our proprietary blend of chemicals. We use FlexBlend technology to ensure the spray adheres to every organic surface around your property, and our Rain Shield additive ensures the spray can withstand light to moderate rain. Your Mosquito Shield technician will spray the grass, foliage, walking paths, trees, and other organic surfaces around your home to create an invisible vertical barrier against mosquitoes.
3. The third step in the Mosquito Shield service is maintenance with regular reapplications of the spray. Our team actively monitors weather and mosquito populations in our service areas to determine optimal respraying times.

We are confident that, after just one treatment, you will recognize the value and efficacy of the Mosquito Shield service. Most of our customers notice a significant decline in mosquito activity around their homes within the first 24 hours of their first appointments.

About Us

Mosquito Shield was founded in September 2001. We’ve all been there, trying to enjoy our homes’ outdoors, only to have our limited time outside ruined by unwanted mosquitos and insects. It was clear that the mosquito control products available at the time—body sprays, candles, mosquito magnets—weren’t up to the task. Frustrated with these options, we set out to formulate a true solution. The following 15 years were spent researching the science behind the mosquito life cycle, testing products, application methods and treatment frequency. We developed our own proprietary blend, Mosquito Protection Blend (MPB), that lasts for weeks and gets stronger as mosquito season progressed. Our MPB is made with natural oils that rid you of current mosquitos and repel future unwanted guests. Combining MPB with our FlexBlend application technology has put us at the forefront of residential mosquito control.
