      About Mosquito Shield of Southern Delaware

      Owners Brad & Kristi Sutliffe, captivated by the charm of Lewes, DE, officially made the move in 2017 from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Frequent family vacations to Lewes had stolen their hearts, making them question the years they missed out on before living at the beach.

      Brad, with nearly two decades in the insurance industry, and Kristi, a marketing professional turned stay-at-home mom to their three children, are proud supporters of the local community. They enjoy visiting the Historic Lewes Farmers Market and locally-owned culinary gems of the Southern Delaware community.

      Their happy place is outdoors, especially Cape Henlopen State Park, where they continue to discover new spots and activities like surf fishing, frisbee golf, Gordon’s Pond trail, pier fishing, and more. In the summer months, the Sutliffe family makes the most of Freedom Boat Club— and you can find them on the waterways of the Delaware Bay and Indian River.

      Brad’s extensive insurance background seamlessly aligns with Mosquito Shield’s commitment to robust customer service. The decision to join Mosquito Shield originated from the desire to help others reclaim their outdoor spaces.

      The Sutliffes have one clear message: Our mission is simple— to provide unparalleled mosquito control and exceptional customer service, ensuring our customers enjoy their homes and create memorable moments with their families.

      Join us in making the most of your outdoor spaces!

      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.

      Arrow
      Every yard is different, but it could be as little as 24 hours.

      After 2-3 days, the effects will be obvious and you will be able to notice a reduction in the number of mosquitoes on your property.

      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.

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