Why MoShield’s Application Technology and Services Work

We provide full season coverage versus selling pre-scheduled treatments
At Mosquito Shield, we focus on full season coverage, offering flexible, adaptive treatments instead of a fixed schedule.

We track mosquito activity and weather trends to customize our services for your yard. This ensures effective protection throughout the season, tailored to meet the specific needs of your outdoor space.

Our aim is to keep your yard comfortable and enjoyable, with a proactive, responsive approach to mosquito control.
We use our own proprietary products that last longer, hold up against weather, and grow in strength as the season progresses. 
Mosquito Shield uses proprietary products designed for longevity and resilience against weather.

Our unique formula increases in strength throughout the season, adapting to peak mosquito times. This ensures your outdoor area remains effectively protected with a growing barrier against mosquitoes, maintaining comfort and enjoyment.
We don’t pretend that mosquito and tick problems are the same.
At Mosquito Shield, we recognize that mosquito and tick issues require distinct approaches. While some companies bundle these services, we understand that ticks and mosquitoes thrive under different conditions and need specialized treatments.

Our targeted approach ensures that each problem is accurately diagnosed and effectively addressed with the right solution. This avoids unnecessary spraying and leads to more efficient and effective treatments, tailored to the specific needs of your yard.
We back our work up with a money back guarantee!
If you are not satisfied after your first treatment, notify us within 7 days and you will receive a full refund. If you are ever unsatisfied during the season, we will return within 48 hours and treat again at no charge.
Our technicians are trained specifically on mosquito and tick products.
We’re not just another guy with a backpack and van or a lawn care provider that will “set and forget” later. This is what we do and we take it very seriously. Not only are our technicians trained on products, they’re trained on mosquito and tick behavior as well as species identification.

That knowledge is used to maximize treatments and minimize the time taken to do it..

About Mosquito Shield of North Columbus

Hi, we’re Shelby and Jesse Miller and we’re the owners of  Mosquito Shield of North Columbus.

We’re excited to join the team and continue to grow as a franchise. This creates a lot of new opportunities for us and we want to spread that excitement about Mosquito Shield. Our goal is to help at least 10,000 families each year take their yard back and enjoy the outdoors once more. 

We started this Mosquito Shield franchise to grow our own business and create a legacy for ourselves and our family. We hope to support our family for years to come, while helping other families take back their yards in the process.

We have deep connections with our Westerville community. Shelby has lived here her whole life, and while I was raised in Nashville, I returned to my Westerville roots and started a family with her. We’re very familiar with the mosquito and other pest problems that plague residents in the beautiful wooded areas around the many lakes and streams in this area. Mosquito Shield was a natural fit for us to help customers enjoy their outdoor time.

We’re Not Just Mosquito Shield Owners

I’ve been in marketing for 20 years for a software company and Shelby joined me as the office/operations manager. I have experience in business development as well. Over the past 20 years, I have grown and scaled 3 different businesses. 

From our experiences, we’ve learned to take pride in customer service and enjoy helping people. At Mosquito Shield of North Columbus, we have great customer service. Our staff is educated, reliable, and dedicated to meeting your needs. As a local business backed by a nationwide franchising network, we’ll be able to take care of you.

Our Philosophy

We’re excited to grow this business and make a positive impact in our community. 

We’re parents to our children and pets, and know that time enjoyed together outdoors is valuable. Whether you are having that big party with loved ones or just relaxing back in a hammock after a long week, mosquitoes should not be a part of that picture. Let the Mosquito Shield of North Columbus help you live mosquito-free!

Our Mission At Mosquito Shield of North Columbus

We want to become the best residential 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

01. What other insects will this affect?
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.
02. Will the product kill plants, vegetables, or beneficial insects in my yard?

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
03. Will your product work after storms?
Yes, we have specifically engineered our formula to outlast storms. With a special polymer layer that provides weather resistance, our formula will remain effective.
04. Is there any environment you cannot treat?
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.
05. Does this product work on all mosquitoes and ticks?
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.
06. Will the product harm my pets or children?
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.
07. When can I start to see the effects?
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.
08. Why do we see more mosquitoes after it has rained?
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.
