We’re the only company in the industry that reacts to mosquito behavior. Without a set schedule, we can adapt to your yard's needs and the mosquitoes around it.
On average, we visit every 10-17 days to ensure a mosquito-free lifestyle.
Our special blend began 20 years ago and we continually evolve it to maximize effectiveness.
Science created our formula, and science continues to adapt it so it remains the most effective spray in the game.
All of our technicians are trained in environmentally smart practices. They target active mosquito areas and are taught the signs to recognize them.
This means less overall spraying, more dead mosquitoes, and a healthy ecosystem in your backyard.
If you’re not happy with our services, let us know. We’ll work hard to make it right, including offering a service call spray if needed.
If you’re unhappy with the results after your first visit, simply notify us within 7 days and we will issue you a full refund.
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”
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.
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.
